I purchased the thing when originally released in the US and it has become a staple routine. It crosses audience age ranges nicely also.


I strongly suggest to not only practise with the product - but make a similar gimmick without the cloth and practise with that too. I have actually made and used a larger scale replication where the thing rises from a dustbin for a stage routine !!

It is a great addition to a mentalism routine - where the revelation can be posted on the underside and revealed when an audience member peeks and asks what is hidden beneath !!

Just got mine and i totally agree with Mr Mystery that it is an old trick with with a new package. I personally think that it is overpricing.
