Just did a Halloween party and it was a good effect, lots of screams, for about the first two times, after that the so called special tape is just two sided Mactac. There has to be a better method than tape. And performing in the dark or poorly lite area is a bad idea. You'll lose it! Only gave it 3 stars because the DVD is not needed. the clear box is not needed (not even the one in the DVD) and the tape provided is gargabe, (use carpet tape).

I purchased this download solely for the spiders that come with it. The spiders you see in the download look realistic and detailed. The spiders you receive look like the little plastic spider rings that you can find around Halloween. The instructions were good, but I am still disappointed with the "gimmicks."

Watch the video, see the laughs, the shocks, the freak outs and the embarrassment with, 'Box of Fear'. A great and funny effect to scare the Dickens right out of someone! Also, the small critter box from the video can be purchased online from Pet Smart for under $8.00, a complete and funny kick-in-the-pants hilarious prank! (And A Little Bit Mean!)

Sorry I did not reply sooner. The only thing I dont like about the trick is,it should come with more gimmics.Firt time I performed the trick The girl freaked ( and I mean freaked)and then she began to stomp and stomp and stomp.I need another gimmick.

So the props in this are a nice addition, if you want to carry them around. For the strolling performer however, perhaps Jim Pace's original effect "The Web" may suit better:

I absolutely LOVE the reactions. BRAVO on a simple, easy effect that gets excellent reactions. P.S. just be at least arms length away from your "VICTIMS" lol. you dont want to get hit.

This is a great effect. You will get huge reactions are most people. It's a little pricey for what you get. You will be able to perform this with a little practice in a short amount of time.

good trick / prank. Came with video instructions but had no mention of the extra prop included with the spiders. What are they for?

I really love this trick! It's not a trick that I would do to a large group of people. Its better 1 on 1 or with about 2-3 viewers. I've gotten many AWESOME reactions so this. Everything is included, and spider looks 100% real!

3 stars TOPS. The spider gimmicks look very fake and cheap. No big reactions with the included spiders for me yet. It also came with some black, fuzzy puff balls without explanation as to what they're for. I'd imagine they can be used to make sneaking the spider on the hand less noticeable, but they make the spider look even more fake.

Also only came with a few sticky tabs (so can only perform a few times until you need more). Fairly inexpensive...but you might as well buy your own spiders and sticky stuff in larger quantities for around the same price.
