I have it, and do not care for it.
It is one of those "Make a Face" boards with the magnet shavings inside and you drag the pen around adding hair to the bald man. Anyway there are like 5 different faces on the back (examples). Someone gets a "forced choice" of one of the faces and when you turn the board around, that is the face that appears. Your hands are not "clean" during this effect, and it's a little bit lackluster to me. Hope that helps. |

Best, Paul

If I can venture an opinion having only used it once, I think it can be fine in the right children's program. As Michael Close said, it could also be good for leaving around the house for a friend to 'stumble upon.' Mr. Close cautioned (Magic magazine, nov 99) that it showed best to a small group. I think this is because once the magic has reproduced the 'selected' hairstyle; the image can not be displayed vertically to a crowd without gravity destroying the arrangement as you'd expect.
I have shown it to small groups of children where I can hold the fairly large image horizontal and move around if necessary so that all call see, not only the amazement on the face of the child that waved the wand to make it happen, but the new hair style. Another nice feature is that you can buy smaller Wooly Bullies at Wal-Mart cheaply and give them out to the children. Wal-Mart sells them as party favors. So, I like it and intend to use it whenever I perform for a small group of 5-8 year olds. If it does not continue to play well, I might just leave it out at home to see if my friends are curious to ask me why I have it.
