I Say
I had an attack of jiffy bag rage when I opened this one! I've been doing a range of transposition effects lately so I had high hopes when I ordered this that I would be able to vanish someone's ring and make it reappear inside a can of beans that the spectator would open themselves.
Well it kind of 'does what it says on the tin' but not exactly what I had hoped it would do. On the plus side, if you flash the top of tin around quickly it appears to be sealed on top but after that it gets a bit problematic.
You cannot hand the tin opener and tin to a spectator to open themselves. You can't even open it right in front of them. You would have to be up on stage (on your own) for this to work without tipping the gaff.
Where it says
'one man operation' for this read 'you alone can open the tin and be near it as it opens'.
'Use over and over again' - Yes you can but subject to the limitations above which in my opinion are quite restrictive.
So its a pity but all in all I can't see me using this in the real world and I've ordered a salt cellar instead from El-Duco.
Overall 3 out of 10 'not so can-tastic after all!'
