I have just unpackaged this and, well, I feel a little flat. There isn't really any excitement about the product, whereas after watching the trailer I was very excited.
I'll admit that I have not yet watched the instruction video, which is a sore point. I knew before I bought it that it didn't come with a dvd, but I still don't understand or agree with this. The instruction video may change my opinion, but at the moment I see myself possibly using two out of the five gimmicks.
For me, the string gimmick and the angels gimmick are too delicate. The instruction video may change my mind, but not likely. The King gimmick is ok and usable. The back gimmick is in my opinion the best.
Now to the coin gimmick. This gimmick really annoyed me. The silver to copper coin could be cool, if it came as shown in the trailer, as a coin. What I didn't expect was for a card to arrive that I would then have to cut the coin out of. Having to cut the coins out means A.) getting the shape right may not happen and B.) the gimmicks may not last long. This just screams lazy to me.
I'm hoping that I'll change my opinion once I've watched the instruction video and actually performed with it, but right now I'm thinking there were probably better ways to spend £30 (product + shipping).
