Review

I bought this for my first ever live performance, entertaining at my grand daughters 7th birtday party. The instructions were very clear and just as it says the main working part of the trick is not visible from the audience. My main problem was a know it all 9 year old whp kept complaining that my hands were too clean!

I have added to the patter now with a series of instruction which i hold up for the kids to read out. It builds them up nicely for the last one

Overall

Gets kids every time and even wows parents. I wouldn't do a childrens gig without it

hanks for the review, Jonny. I've been looking at this for AGES, thinking it's probably badly made and obvious etc etc. I think I might just buy it now!

Any thoughts about using it on adults? The 'loudmouth' type grown-up I imagine would soon be quiet after the thought of egg on his head!

I had it all set up to use on my boss last summer but circumstances changed and I didn't get the chance. I think it would go down well with any age group, particularly if there had been some drinking going on!
