A little disappointed Report this review

I have to say I really liked the idea of this trick. The one think I don't like is the quality of the product. Not only is everything probably 30 dollars at a hardware and craft store, but the gimmicks provided do not even fit each other. For 250 dollars I would at least have expected everything to work and maybe a little better quality. I'm a little disappointed that PM let a poor quality product be sent at such a high price. Half the wood blocks provided don't even fit the nail gimmicks provided. It's a great idea and I can't wait to perform it but be warned they do not put a lot of effort into the gimmicks for the price. We pay a higher price for quality. You get what you pay for but not in This case.

This happens quite often with products I have bought.
And also, when they put a price in there, they don't even have the courtesy to tell you what comes with it. You don't find that out till you get it. . .
I have talked to alot of magicians about this, and a "revolt" is coming.
The people that are selling this stuff are not telling us enough about it.
"Nailed It" do the bags come with it? do the wooden blocks come with it?
Does the spike come with it? Does the rabbit come with it?

This is an old post that I have just read...The words by Joseph "The one "think" I don't like is the quality.." What does "The one think" mean?? Have I missed the boat? Is this a "thought process" thing or just a straight using the wrong word?

alanjames, it's quote obvious he meant "thing" and made a typo. Calm down.

That you don't see the value of what you were provided speaks volumes. If anyone is reading through these reviews, please ignore Joseph's. This effect pays for itself the very first time you perform it.

I purchased this product and love it it seems that the ones who complain don’t know how to be an entertainer and make a great show from it. Yes everything you see in the video except the towel and apple comes with the product ready to go

You're paying for the knowledge and the creator's years of work on this effect. As others have said, the price keeps this in the hands of serious performers who will treat it with the respect it deserves. This version of the effect is VERY powerful, simple and safe. This allows us to focus on our performance vs. executing the method. The price is reasonable even if there were no props included and it was an instant download. After all, it's only a few dollars for the included materials. I will ALWAYS be able to perform it. I, personally, would rather pay $250 for a well-thought out method that I will use than $15 for an effect with some custom printed gimmicks that I may not be able to acquire in a couple years. (and I've spent sooo much money on those over the years) I'm adding this to a new show I'm designing as my finale. It will pay for itself in one or two performances. That's a bargain.
