In all honesty, I was not impressed. The balloon burst was the only thing that I really liked. The method was pretty clever but at the same time could be expensive if you don't have some things lying around your house. Some of the other tricks require items that are also pretty expensive. On top of that, the routines weren't good enough (to me) to justify purchasing all of the required materials. I think that if you wanted it for a clever, unique way to pop a balloon without touching it, then I would say go ahead and get it. But otherwise, it just doesn't seem worth it to me.
