I am a local "magical" Santa Claus and I've purchased each "Smoke" device that's come along in the
last decade. This is the best, which is not saying too much because it is the LATEST to come along.
But what I CAN say about Mystery Smoke is that it's the only one I have every actually USED – and I
love it.
That said, I wish the off-switch was easier to get to, since you really only want to
use it once per "visit". Several times I've posed for photos and suddenly noticed that I triggered
the pressure-plate by mistake. Also, I wish the "classic" (wrist mount) and the hand-escape
utilities came in white (or at least a light skin-tone). It would also help if the additional parts
(e.g., buttons) were less expensive. Finally, you must give the longer tubes a little practice time
since the "puff" is not instantaneous nor pre-measured (which is actually a GOOD thing).
