Starting from the top.

Packaging - Great, came with a sheet of example tricks to do and was packed nicely.

The fit - The fit was snug. Considering it's not a full size TT, i was a bit skeptical as to how well it would sit on the thumb, but it turned out to be ok, but not the best.

Economy of motion - Average. The lead comes glued in a holder that runs through both sides of the TT. As your thumb moves to write the name / prediction etc, the gimmick moves the TT around, reducing the quality of your writing.

The lead - Horrible. It just doesn't write... I mean ideally you want to be using a business card for your prediction effects so your spectators remember you by that trick. However the thicker stock of business cards makes the lead almost not work at all (Wish i could upload a picture to show you what i mean)It BARELY works on normal paper that you get from a printer or just lying around on your desk. Also , the lead comes BLUNT, not a POINT, which makes the writing look dull.

I only bought this type of gimmick because it was the only one I found on Penguin.

WOULD NOT recommend or use the device to anyone, sorry but it's true.
