My 2 stars is for a very simple reason. The gimmick was not strong enough for the second phase of
the trick. Most people instinctively know how this trick is done, which by no means makes this
illusion bad. The teaching is simple yet effective and gives a great foundation to build on. HOWEVER
an important part of the product depends on the strength of the gimmick keeping the ropes, while
circular, appearing to be joined. Perhaps I received a defective product as others have not
complained. It hearkens back to the old days when you sent away for a magic trick all excited about
learning and performing it, only to find it defective and not working as shown. Now I blame myself
partially for not immediately complaining for a refund or exchange.
