The prop looks decent but there are no instructions at all. No instructions means this one goes straight into drawer to collect dust.

One of the diamonds fell out while opening the package, No instructions. No information as to where to find an instructional video. Just the sticks

The rods are fine but apparently no instructions are included with this trick. When I asked about this I was sent a very poor photocopy of the instructions and when I asked WHY I could not have an original copy (twice) no one ever replied. Buyer beware!!!

Bouth the Uday Jumping Gems (aka Diamond Tip). It came with a fairly nice red case, but the paddles themselves were a disappointment. The jewels were not placed evenly--they are out of line. There are little chips from the plastic around the jewels. The edges of the paddles are not polished and are just the rough texture of the saw used to form the bars.

To top it off, two of the gems fell out after some practice. I was able to glue them back properly, but what if they had fallen off in performance?

I used to have a set from many years ago that was very good quality, but lost them some time back.

I'll keep the Uday ones for practice and probably just make up my own set.

I have been doing the Jumping Gems since I was a teenager. You'd be surprised how many people have not seen this. The gems on the paddles are mediocre but they get the point across. I think I may invest in metal paddles as it looks more professional and less like they just came out of a children's magic kit. Now for the bad - which automatically loses a star on the rating. The instructions are pure garbage. Find a decent tutorial on YouTube to get IDEAS for your own routine. The instructions that came with the paddles was a disaster. Obviously written by someone who was not a native English speaker. You might want to leave this to a children's performance. Fun, but definitely not "pro" apparatus quality.

This is one of my favorite paddle eddects. The two sticks, working in tandem, really make the magic.

Shipping was much faster than expected. Pwrhaps a better patter could have been included but as this was a replacement for a set I'd lost, i already have my own routine.

THIS HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR ABOUT 30 YEARS. THERE IS A DIFFERENT ONE OF THESE STICKS, THE ORIGNIAL. I LOST THIS ONE, SO I REORDERED. ALMOST ANYONE CAN DO IT. I DO MUCH HARDER TRICKS BUT MY BEST FRIEND WAS FLOORED BY IT. CALLED HIS BOSS OVER SO HE COULD SEE IT. FOR THE MONEY IT'S A NO BRAINER. MAKE SURE YOU ORDER BOTH SETS RIGHT HERE AT PENGUIN MAJIC.

This is an okay pocket trick and can be fun to perform if proper patter was developed. The video shows mechanics, but not performance. The trick doesn't come with directions. (Video is best for learning the trick)

This is probably best for someone that owns a magic store and is looking to sell easy tricks to kids. In fact, I'd love to see that video. Anyone work in a magic store that owns this who would like to share an actual routine?

Ok,

first off the music is way to loud in the video demo.
Second his English is not the greatest. So basically need a better video.

With that said, the trick is pretty cool once you learn the move. I give this trick a thumbs up and the video guy the thumbs down.
