Magic Tricks

I got one of these waaaay back when they first hit the market but I know it was a loooong time ago when it was a new effect. I can't recall the year they first hit but I had to have one. It's great effect but I know in the area where I live, I've seen cheerleader routines from High school and grade schools include these in their dance act. Also if I'm not mistaken there was a similar knockoff under a different name in dept. stores. I could be wrong but seems like I saw them.

Now that doesn't mean everyone knows the secret, I'm just saying it just seems too common these days to pull off even tho the effect is great. So if you go in knowing that people may know the secret but use it to go into another effect I guess it wouldn't matter.
