Great Idea but not quite there... Report this review

So I am not one to purchase a lot of other peoples magic, so when I do I think my opinion should count for something. I just got done watching this and here are my thoughts:

This is a really good idea that could be thought out more.
The gimmick is a arts and craft project and if you are not accustom to that, you are going to give up easily, but if you like a project, keep reading.

The way the gimmick is rung in and out is less than desirable and should of been thought out better, You are left really dirty in the beginning and the end. But like I said if this was given just a little more thought this could be a killer effect all the way thru.
Now lets actually talk about the effect. I have never ever liked the buttery smooth entrance a pen or bill or card makes into another object, it does not look real, it looks fake. He says in the download and the actual product description that the "idea of a pen thru bill has been around a while (ummm John Cornelius) but not much has been done to evolve it" I think there is a reason for that, I mean how many of us remember when John pushed that *** pen thru that bill and you could hear the rip and SEE the actual frays of the bill where the hole was? I bought one instantly from John. There is a reason it has not been improved , because so far no one has ever been able to come up with a version that can beat johns, john just took it to that next level. And yes john used a gimmick pen, but it was self contained and it was easily switched when they were crawling around that bill looking for the evidence for the hole. With Hole-istic, as presented on the download, there is no justification to go back into your pocket, or anywhere else to ditch what you need to ditch.

My final thoughts are this.
I believe that with a little more thought and knowledge this could of been a hit, unfortunately with where it stands now even at $9.95 it is not worth your time and money for a method that is sub par at best.
