A solid replacement for the suspicious-looking change bag? This is a winner. I knew I wanted this when I saw the "seeds to spring flowers" part of the demo video. The firm cardboard box is well constructed and nicely decorated. I like that it comes with a box top, though that may not be needed for all effects. A little pricey, but I'm glad I got it and I look forward to using it.

It is just so so. It makes a bit of noise when "switching" the load. It also may look like something is wrong up close. I suppose it could be used ok in a stage setting.
