Magic Tricks

So I ordered this trick, received it in the mail and after 2 uses the gimmick broke. So I sent it back to penguin to get a new one, got it, and again. Used it twice and it broke. I love the trick but the gimmick could be made A LOT better. What ticks me off about this is in the tutorial, Chris says "The kind of ***** I use is a lot stronger then the cheap stuff most magicians use, and will last you a lot long". Well this cheap stuff he mentioned, I used for other gimmicks of this nature, and none of them have broken on me and have lasted me a long long time.
