I didn't think anyone else was interested in this Hoop,...I purchased a used one about a year ago and since I havn't used or seen any other Hoop(besides a Hula-Hoop)to compare this one with,I will try to give it a decent review.
At 33 inches across and 3/4 inches thick,it is a lot bigger than I like,I prefer more around 28 inches.(it's definitely a hand full)As the Ad states,the Color helps hide the Gimmick and it does look good on Stage.(I wouldn't recommend using it in a Living Room Setting unless it was a Large Room)It takes Two Hands to operate this Hoop at the Beginning and End of the Pass and the handling is a bit awkward to me,but it does convey the intended illusion of no supports or wires.(which is why we use a Hoop in the first place,Right?)Not knowing what to expect,the Gimmick gave me my Homer moment.... DOHH!!(I was a bit let down to say the least)Care will have to be taken with it as it can come apart if misstreated.(but easily repaired)I find the $335.00 asking price a bit spendy for what you get,but I don't know the Manufactering Process,so who am I to say? All in All,the Hoop is well made and will last many years if treated with respect,(no throwing it in a corner),and I would suggest making a Case for it.Since I don't own a High-End Suspension,this Hoop works for me. As the saying goes,...You get what you pay for.Hope this helps,Mike |
