Pretty clear how this works, looks to be a very simple, practical gimmick. I don't see anyone being disappointed with this! Not sure how well the arrow will show up on a blue card in low lighting though.

Dunno, but IIRC blue is the colour that suits this type of gimmick best. I wonder if it’s controlled by weight / gravity, in that you release pressure after turning it and it drops.

Received it. I can't believe they missed the boat on this... It was a guaranteed winner but the construction is just bad. The way I imagined it was built would work way better... This DOES use weight and because of that, the way it's constructed makes the gimmick glaringly obvious unless the lighting is extremely dim... I don't recommend this to anyone.

I assumed that was the method Patrick only because it’s a sans minds release and knowing they would’ve taken the easiest, cheapest option.
