I ordered the set, and returned it. I was not happy with it for the following reasons:
The chips do not look like any ordinary object that a layperson may have come in contact with, yet not one of them can be handed out, or even shown both sides. Now, having heard of the incredible craftsmanship of Joe Porper, I was disappointed in the quality of the chips - the centers are not permanently affixed, and so can become recessed into the chips, the [ is of a different material than the rest of the chips (similar, but not the same), and I felt it was too loose a fit. The routine by Earl Nelson was fine, but I didn't feel it was strong enough to overcome what I felt were shortcomings in the props. I am sure Joe Porper makes some excellent effects, but this one was a disappointment to me. Of course, the effect may work fine for others, it just didn't fit with my style and performing situations. I read that this effect has been redesigned, so some of these concerns may have been addressed - your best bet is to call Hocus-Pocus, Hank Lee's, or try contacting Joe Porper himself. |
