Nice price for a very clever little effect. When I purchased this, for some reason, I thought I would be limited to the amount of liquid that could be held in a straw. That is not the case. It comes with a separate gimmick that holds quite a bit of liquid (Not enough to fill a regular glass, but enough to fill a shot glass). Also, you use regular straws you can purchase or would get at most any fast food restaurant. One of the straws much be gimmicked before using, but it is easily done. The effect comes with a regular straw, a gimmicked straw, and the liquid gimmick. I was pleasantly surprised by this. I hightly recommend it.
