£234.99 and yes I agree with you about the demos. I am hoping that the delay in releasing it was because they were improving him. That's why I think I will wait and see.
I find it a little odd that the demo presentation doesn't use the Golem legend and take us down a much darker road. That's certainly what I'd want to do with it (and there's nothing stopping me but the price tag I guess!)
for the same price you could pick up 2350 chomp bars.
seriously, i cannot imagine even a child would be impressed with this effect; and i hope that it is being marketed as a child's effect, as if this were presented to an adult, they would rightly feel that their intelligence was being insulted.
From what I have heard this one definately doesn't do what it says on the box, or at the very least it doesn't work as it 'apparently' shows in the video demonstration.
I'll be interested to read the first real world reviews but it's now one that I'll be writing.

It's not really an optical illusion - it just looks like one!
I heard the same as Dat, that it does not do what it is supposed to do. Nothing against Paul Harris but this is beyond a joke. I really do not see why this would even be released.

Like I said...I think I will wait and see. That said, even with the limitations of the original demo, given the right audience this still could be a worthwhile investment for me. It won't be my whole show, and I couldn't use it all the time for obvious reasons but if it makes children believe then that's ok by me. I will wait for an independent review on reliability first.
