Magic Tricks

I like the idea and the routine. The cover looks nice and seems well constructed.
However, the main button fell off after 2 minutes. The thread just seemed to melt off. I am not sure how it was sewn on but it was not by conventional method.

The main problem I have though is the amount of force that is needed to dislodge the ball. I need to either find a much heavier ball or one with a weaker magnet. It's comical how hard I have to slam the glass down at this point.
I did have another set of balls from another chop set but its the same result. Maybe the gimmick needs to be a bit weaker.
