I just got mine. Seriously regretting this. It's made with the cheapest materials possible. Just really China crap quality.
$50. Not worth it. I can't imagine anyone not being upset when they see the contents. This should have been a DIY $20 deal. This is not even $5 worth of materials. More like 25 cents.

That's what I meant with my post, but I didn't want to be to harsh. I don't mind the materials though, I still don't think its very practical. But that could be me.

Peter,
I think you are a nice person, and cheers for beating cancer. However this is an overpriced trick. Another problem is mine is defective. The bulb is indented so it won't fill up with water all the way.
It doesn't have anywhere near the capacity you see in the demo. The pull could have been way better quality and the bulb material is simply the cheapest that is available.
Seriously the worst purchase I've made in a long time. Let's look at another plastic item made from common objects. Secret Servante. Love it. Could probably make it yourself, but it's a brilliant concept and Sean used the best
material of this type for this apparatus. If I seem harsh, it's only because I'm seriously disappointed. Nothing personal intended.

Thanks James!!

I didn't take your comments personally at all. Like I said I value comments like this to help better our company in the future. With my previous post I was simply explaining why it is priced the way it is.
And I understand that the perceived value of just the gimmick would be a problem for some. But I hope I clarified in how we came to the price we did in my previous post. If I didn't sell this to magic shops we could of retailed it for about $30 which I'm sure would be better received in regards to the gimmick vs the retail price. Perhaps next time we put out an effect with this same type of scenario we will do just that. But there is value in the effect itself and it does do what is advertised and its good effect that gets wow reactions. And we warranty our products so If yours is defective in anyway, I will be happy to send you a new one no problem, just email me your details. Smile

This is a nice effect that you can use with your own bottle or even using someones bottle. There is no set up at all on the bottle. This I like. I did performed this over the weekend and it killed. Very nice effect. Very little set up. Or I should say a one time set up. Once your set up you good to go for the rest of the day. Takes like 2 min. Comes with everything you need ( Even the nail )How well is the gimmick made? To me it looks cheep. Not sure how long it will last but who knows it might last a long time. I think the price is a bit to much but it not my effect. For less money I got better gimmicks. You can not perform this surrounded. Best performed with people in frount of you. Kinda like if you were showing a ring flight. So easy to use for sure. I will use this for sure. I just hope it lasts a long time.



Mr. Effecto- I was wandering why you sold yours? I was thinking about getting this and noticed that you have it up for sale after you said that it killed when you performed it and you will use it?

Thanks,
RNK
