The gimmick for this is absolute genius. Not what I was expecting at all. You could not build this
gimmick very easily. I haven't performed yet for a real audience. The ad copy says "Super easy to
do". I don't agree. Getting a smooth animation requires practice and I won't perform for others
until I get it controlled and consistent. I wonder how robust the gimmick will be until it breaks.
There's at least one component i'm concerned about. 5 stars for just learning the secret and being
pleasantly surprised. I can't wait to try on a real audience, and then I can say more.
Hey, thanks for your question and your support. As for the animation , like most effects , practice makes perfect. I assure you this is a very easy and quick thing to learn. Don't forget though , this is meant to be milked and relaxed. No need for one fast continuous animation, take your time , stop throughout the way and let them absorb what's happening. I promise you they have never seen anything like this so they have no anticipations on what will happen next, take advantage of that :)
As for the longevity of the gimmick , this project has gone through many designs and changes. Well over a year of development to finish with what we felt was the simplest and strongest design. We wanted as few parts as possible and worked with many materials till we found the best available. If the gimmick is used propperly it should last for a very long time. As for repairing I'm sure what you would consider the most vulnerable part to break, is easily replaceable and fixable. Because everything is online , I will talk to Bro about uploading a video discussing any possible issues with repairing and long term care.
Again , thanks for your support and I will do my best to answer any questions and I will be sure to update ya guys on anything new
