REVIEW:
PROS:
- This is a very, very, very cool way to show your skill as a magician. Like it says in the trailer, it is like spinning a basketball but this fits in your pocket and in my opinion looks so much more spectacular from a spectator's point of view.
- The packaging is very nice and sturdy and the artwork on the packaging is really nice. I know the packaging doesn't really affect how the actual trick is but seeing good packaging shows that they care about the product.
- The gimmick is extremely well made. Don't expect to break it because I don't think you will ever "accidentally" break the gimmick. It's extremely durable and should las forever. I was also happy that this wasn't another DIY project unlike some other DVD'S that I have reviewed.
- It also comes with gaff cards for routines that they go over in the extensive download. The gaff cards are well made on bicycle stock and are professionally printed.
- I heard some people saying that the download was too extensive on showing how to slim the box but I disagree. I for one had quite a difficult time at the start spinning the box. It was only after I watched all of the download that I was able to properly start practicing the box spin. It took me a few days to master the box spin but I was eventually able to do it.
- The gimmick isn't permanently attached to your card box so you can easily move it from box to box. This was one of my main concerns about the gimmick before I received this item but thankfully the gimmick isn't a permanent attachment and can be removed whenever needed to be removed.
- You can also spin a singular card aswell as the whole box
CONS:
- In my opinion, if you'll use this effect just for the the spin flourish and no routines (like me) it is expensive for 10 seconds of a flourish.
- If you have soft skin then spinning the box may hurt your finger. I have kinda soft skin and only after practicing non stop for a couple of hours did it start to slightly hurt.
- I, personally, didn't care for the gaff card routines as they just didn't fit my style and I didn't want to be carrying around extra cards just for those routines. This was just my personal opinion.
- This may or may not be a con for everyone but even though the gimmick makes it easier to spin the box, it still takes quite a bit of work to properly master it. I still can't do it as long as Greg Wilson and I've been doing the box spin for a couple of weeks now.
OVERRAL:
I will definitely be using this but only really as a quick, visual flourish among or in between card effects. I do think it is expensive for what my intended use is with it but the product does what it says on the tin so I can't really mark them down for that.
RATING:
8/10
