I got this from my local magic dealers ..

1 In the package , there is something u dont receive which actually you need it if you want to perform just like in the trailer ( where he smoothly showed there was nothing in his hand and beneath his shoe ) .. you need that 'special something' which they dont include you with !!! of course you can still perform without that item , but it wont be as smooth as shown in trailer ... to me its really unsatisfying !!! I really think they should include it even I already have that item from my other magic dvds

2 The gimmick to me is not up to the mark .. I watch all of the reviews saying that the gimmick would last you lifetime .. guess what .. I already broke mine in 2 days of practicing ... the gimmick still works but the plastic part of the gimmick is broken and really cheap-made ( very easily broken ) ... I also found that the metal part of my the main gimmick is already scratchy and bent ...

3 Im realy unsatisfied with the online teaching video that they made ... first of all they dont include you the dvd .. ok im fine with that... but most importantly the content itself is very limited and there are lots of thing that he doesnt cover about the troubleshooting and safety measure to take care of the gimmick .. you will know what I mean when you make the gimmick and practice it for like 100x ... he said that he put an efforts of 10 years for producing the effects ( if im not mistaken ) , then he should teach persistent with his 10-years-of-experiences ... I only practice this trick for 2 days and I already know a lot of things that I should not do and I should do which he doesnt mention

4 the trick itself is quite difficult to do .. I got a lot of problems while practicing to make it 100% works all the time ... they didnt cover everything that you should know !! you have to figure it out yourself !!! I broke my plastic part of the gimmick bcuz I did something that should be covered by the instructional video

5 he doesnt say that you literally cant do this trick reapeatedly on the carbonate drink ( contain gases ) .. I did practice repeatedly and overtime , the bottle will increase in shape becuz of the force of pressure exerted by the gases throughout continuous shaking .. you will get to know once you did this yourself for like 50 times

6 Im actually quite mad , huhhh .. overall if you did practice this and really put your time on it .. it will work out .. just consider the point that I mentioned .. if you dont mind about it then its fine for you
