I have this effect & I must say it's a real world worker. Simple & easy to do. I carry it with me on my key ring and the set up couldn't be easier, especially when your keys are in your pocket.
You could enhance the effect with a bone snapping sound (a few options there) but it's not necessary with some acting.
One thing I'm not sure of - they say it works for any finger but if you're coloured I'm not positive it would. Aside from that it's faultless IMO.
It is one of those that when you learn the secret you'll think "no way I'm getting away with that" but you will.

Someone showed me this at Blackpool, and I must say I wasn't impressed, and neither were most of the people around me.

TO be fair though, we had all had a drink :) and were maybe too close to the guy, or he had only just got it and didn't 'sell' it with his performance etc.

I'd like to see it again before I just shoot it down

It's worth another look. It gets reactions from the right people. Also, I can set up for this in my pocket in 5 seconds so there's a great impromptu feel to it. But yeah, some acting required.

When i opened the case i couldn't belive the gimick. Really cheeky. But i would agree that it is Street Magic!

I would never dare do it at a paid gig. But, I have done it in the bar after a show for the staff. They where on the other side of the bar! I did it as a throw away - warming up my fingers! clicked three and twisted the fourth. The reaction was fantastic. They still talk about it... But i refuse to repeat.

The only other times i have used this effect is to freak out my 10year old daughter and her friends. Which funny enough is about the age of the spectators in the trailer.

IMO. 3 out of 5 Good & Fun but not fantastic. Use after hours.
