How did those guys in the UAE get their hands on this before anyone else?!
Please check regularly if you are becoming the type of magician Jerry Seinfeld jokes about. (This applies to mentalists as well.)

I received it Saturday. Played with it yesterday. Can't believe I paid $$55.00 for double stick tape method!
Ha, just joking. First impressions is I like it. But I need to watch the other tutorial videos yet. Will post more very soon.

Hmm. Well, I think I like it, lol. It's one of those effects that's obviously going to be amazing to see as a spectator. In saying that, the angles are pretty sensitive so you really are going to have to manage your audience. Not a major problem but with the wow factor of the effect it could become a problem. The "In The Spectators Hands Version" is very angle sensitive and may best be suited to perform for just the person doing the balancing and no one else. I say this because I believe that once the objects start balancing a viewing audience will definitely start moving around to view all the angles they can. And with this, depending on how far away they are standing from the balancing act, angles will be a concern. Now, to confirm my initial thoughts I will have to perform it a few times first. I could be wrong but as I stated earlier, STASIS is very eye catching so after the balancing of objects begins I think lots of folks will move around to see from every angle they possibly can. And that's when the method could easily be exposed.
As for the retail price of $55.00, I am kind of split- the effect is very eye catching and the method used to achieve the balancing definitely works very well and is not difficult to do after a few tries. The materials used to make the gimmick are really not expensive. So I believe the cost for this is more for the "wow factor" of the effect. They do show you how to construct the gimmick which is not hard IMO. I keep coming back to angles only because when you are holding this performing the balancing, you cannot move fast to help shield certain angles if you had to because most likely a fast movement will cause the tower to fall. So for me, to give a more confident review I will have to perform it and see what happens. Some effects I can make a confident prediction immediately if it will work for me or not. I cannot make that prediction with STASIS. I love this idea and was very intrigued when a close-up version such as STASIS was released. Though, more testing and performances are definitely needed in order for me to determine if STASIS will become a permanent fixture in my sets. BTW, the Other Brothers do a fantastic job with the tutorials and cover everything! RNK

It gets shipped today so I am confident there will be a deluge of online demos for us all to compete with. i.e. who can build something the highest?

If you are standing there with specs close to you, depending on the angle they are viewing from, it is a definite possibility they will see the method.
