Finally, an effect I can use practically right out of the box. If you’ve seen the demo, you know
that this packs a punch. I was pleased how accurately the demo presented the effect in
real-performance conditions. (How many times have you been frustrated by a demo that’s strategically
cut, or shows something that you can’t reproduce in a typical performance environment?)
I
particularly liked the suggestion of using a business card instead of a tag, one of the more
ingenious business card presentations I’ve seen in a long time.
I did take off a star
because of the cost. While the list price is very reasonable, you will need to spend at least $10
more for additional supplies. Even if you already have a hole punch, you will need a certain
something to “recondition” the gaff. This is a flaw that several mentioned on the “Penguin’s Only”
discussion of this effect.
But on the plus side, the gaff is simple enough that you won’t
have to shell out for a brand new package when the entire gaff needs a full replacement.
One more comment is that I was surprised by the 2005 copyright on the DVD. I know that this was
first released in England. But there is no reason that something this innovative should have taken
so long to be a Penguin bestseller here.
I will debut this tomorrow to my Sunday school
class, and expect this to be a worker of mine for a long time. I am pleased.
