Once Dale, in an American Military Academy, a student saw another student (a magician) in their room doing this.
Now it is in their Code Of Honour to report any drug taking especially sniffing heroin!
The poor young magician, he was not sniifing & then had to show the accuser how the entire gimmick worked. Luckily believed.
I never got on with the Boss model at all. It did keep breaking as many times as the cheap poor Indian models.
Much better with the 2nd model, James George put out--the Micro. Approx. 5 inches (12cms) long and about half the thickness of a pencil.
But my favourite was the original--The Standard.
Magicians shunned this as it was approx. 6 inches ( 15cms) long BUT for me--it only broke twice in 5 years.
