Ok if you are goind to click on the ADD TO CART button, WAIT! There is no words to describe how bad i feel about this thing. I really wanted to like it but i jut can't. The demo is misleading cuz it is impossible to make anything vanish except for coin... And even with coins, it is risky.
THe DVD that comes with it doesnt make it better.. Even when rosenbaum itself shows you how to work with its BAD gimmick, he flashes a few time..
Vanishe a beer bottle IRL with the gecko? impossible...
If you are ready to spend that amount of money, go for the raven(wich i have and is better than that) or The Kaylor Option(TKO) DO not put yourself in a situation where i can say, Told ya,

you're PULLING my leg
[Verified buyer] by Emery G. Saunders Jr. ( from Pennsauken, N.J. on 04/13/2010 13:14:03
I've been doin' magic for many, many years this is easily my most regrettable purchase ever.Firstly the introduction of the gimmick in performance is extremely awkward. The gimmick, as stated by many, is quite noisy, and cumbersome. It seems to me, I'd be better off making a pull with a piece of elastic clothesline and plastic pill bottle. I AIN"T KIDDIN' !! I can honestly say that I can't run the risk of presenting this to my paid clientele for fear of of shattering my rep. I won't even perform this for myself, by myself, in front of my mirror again. My mirror has ridiculed me for weeks. Talk about overpriced!! The most expensive dust collector I've ever purchaced. Btw the only reason I gave it 1 star is because they won't let you give a minus 1....DON"T BUY!!!...anybody want a gecko, I'll pay YOU to take it....I'm pulling your leg, but not nearly as bad as Rosenbaum...AGAIN, DON"T BUY!!!

new twist on an old prop
by Akela from Southeast PA USA on 04/05/2010 20:35:47
I love to see new ideas for old props. This new ingenious method will allow for amazing presentations. Beginners should expect to practice the moves a great deal before performing. You'll need some kind of creative presentation to go along with the wow. The materials are top-notch.

A truly awful gimmick
by Anonymous from Washington USA on 04/04/2010 06:50:15
The demo for this gimmick looks like a dream but in reality it's actually just more false advertising. The reviews here are correct. It's only good for making youtube videos that have some blaring music to them. You'll never see this done live for a reason. If it was a godly new way of vanishing an item that made no noise and was practical you would know by now because people would be cheering it on. But there is no cheering it on. This was a good idea but poorly thought out. Noise needs to be taken care of and I don't think anything can cover that god awful noise.

With the right amount of practise it's worth getting!
by Magic Rich from London, UK on 04/03/2010 18:16:28
This is actually a very good utility device but it will require practise. I think a lot of reviewer's have been disappointed by the fact that the demo video made it look as if the Gecko would be easy to use. The truth is it will require a lot of practise until you develop a very smooth and natural handling. However with practise and with time it will look like real magic, so the question is- are you able to invest time and practise into this? If so, then I would suggest you go ahead and buy this.
