Magic Tricks

My son and I had the privilege to see "Bob" at one of Kieron's live lectures here in the US. Needless to say, when we saw the trick out for sale, I wanted to snatch it up... alas, only in the UK! So when I saw that Penguin had it, I thought this would be the perfect Christmas gift for my son. Again, I was wrong. When he opened the box on Christmas morning, and all that was inside was a pencil sharpener canon (yes! a dollar store pencil sharpener!) and a handful of cards with Bob punched through it, his look of disappointment made me instantly regret the purchase. More than half of the "trick" is missing from the "kit". Yes, I know, it's my fault because there is a sentence that says they can't ship the flash paper from the UK... but doesn't Penguin sell flash paper? Can't they complete the kit here in the US? Also, there is another crucial element that is not even the flash paper that's missing - where's the card box? For $40, save your money and buy his lecture instead. You have to make most of this yourself anyway so at least with the lecture you get so much more. What a waste.
