Anyone been tempted yet? Looks fantastic!

It looks fantastic but I can't help but think that it might pan out a little oddly if used as part of a strolling routine. If you perform this over and over for small groups of people at some large function, you presumably have to keep resetting the hole.
I like to imagine three people having a conversation after a wedding meal or corporate function saying "on our table he noticed a hole in his trousers and mended it with magic"
At which point another adds "he did the same thing at ours"
An date third will say "Ours too. He must have been going away opening a new hole between tables"
"what an odd fellow" they will concur.

I dunno maybe some people want to have that effect on their audience. I think it looks a little scruffy.

Don't consider this an actual review, I don't have the product, I just think its a bit weird.

Your points are valid Stacy, but I always see something like this or Extreme Burn (double easy money for mr!) as an ideal way of intriguing people into being interested into what you do, rather than say, card tricks or rope stuff or a chop cup routine

But yes, the hypothetical discussion you made is food for thought!

Oh I totally agree there, using any 'real' item such as money (or in this case ones own clothing) heightens the public's appreciation and interest.

Some presentation styles could very easily and legitimately get away with wandering the streets or a pub or even a fancy dinner with a hole in their trousers, I just don't think that the look is quite as widely applicable as the makers have suggested.

The makers always big these things up though don't they?

Terms like, "quick reset", " easy to do", and my all time fav..." a real reputation maker!" should be used less!

But keep posting Stacy...my bank account will thank you!

Or I'll wait until "Stiched 2.0"...

This is one of those effects that leaves them stumped.

The hole is very convincing and the next moment its gone!

The handlings shown allow for different ways of doing it, I prefer the one that shows hands empty before and after, the vanish really is a nice idea which I'm sure you may well use in other effects.

I don't see the problem with doing the same tricks for different groups. I actually think this is good when they get together and say did you see when he did......

If the answer is no, their conversation stops.

Good price and free delivery here if you give in!
