Since the ad copy states that Tom Elderfield's Space Time is a hand-crafted gimmick with attention to every detail, and this is a a manufacturing defect, the sellers are liable to honor an replacement. |

How does the gimmick affect your performance? Have you checked with others if they received some well-constructed Space Time gimmicks? |

I might prefer mass produced gimmick ... At least mass produced gimmicks are mostly made by machines . Hand made gimmicks however , has a tendency to carry errors , it's made by humans and mostly made at a fast speed .

Would it be possible to remake the gimmick with some arts and crafts?

Tom showed me this a few years ago and I remember just cussing him out for it. Its a gorgeous piece of magic with a stunning gimmick. This think could only be a hit!

Indeed Alan, if they were made correctly. In the meantime I say leave well alone.

Each taking about an hour . The measurement and cutting is enough to kill me ... It's possible to make an acceptable one , but it takes lots of patience .

I love this thing! Mine came constructed perfectly and even then I was able to remake one pretty easily.

It's a good wow ... U must have been quite skilled in making gimmicks then ... I'm a little curious why you pulled your newly arrived perfectly constructed Space Time gimmick apart just to make another one .

Don't you think that it is natural for any maker to be tempted to explore the inner workings of any handcrafted gimmick more by ripping a perfect gimmick apart and examining it, either to make more of them, or to adopt the method in other gaff card projects? |

I see ~ got what you mean . For a creater , seeing the inside definitely helps to spark more creativity and future ideas .

From the perspectives of most buyers, a perfect gimmick should have these characteristics: (1) Undetected disruptive camouflage (2) Undisturbed continuous opening (3) High-cycle fatigue life |

I wish there's a product teaches people how to 'make gimmicks'. I am very interested to learn. Never been a handy person but I'd love to.

I opened it to see the exact measurements, as I had been playing with a similar method, and I wanted to see how my measurements compared to the ones used in Space Time. Not to hijack this topic, but I had to remove Holered, as it was unoriginal. Returning to Space Time, once you understand the method behind it, you should be able to construct one pretty easily. If you need any help with the measurements shoot me a PM.
