This is a cute little effect. It's just not my style. This will play to a big crowd. It is very visual. It is also easy to perform. The problems I have with it are with the gimmick provided. It is a bit loud. This isn't so bad if you are out in a busy area.

Let me try to understand your review.

A. Plays to a big crowd.
B. VERY visual
C. Easy to perform

Yet after saying those three AWESOME things that are hardly ever used TOGETHER when reviewing/describing a trick that isn't epic, you chose to give it TWO STARS?!?!

Horrible reviewer. Please, don't ever review another product.

Clay ...if it's not your style is your problem !!

People, if it's *loud* then Clay has every right to rate it as he wishes.

I just received my one and I have the same problem with the gimmick. It’s much too loud. If you use it people hear a loud noise. The idea is great and I love it. But I just can use it for videos without any sound or in an extreme loud location

There is a definite sound but I’ve had a few spectators say they could “hear” the knot tying. So I agree, there is a noise but you can definitely play it off

I'm just wondering Clay.... if it's not your style, after seeing the video trailer, why the heck did you buy it. Why in the world would anyone buy a trick that wasn't suitable to their style??
Yes, the gimmick is a bit loud but there are dozens of ways to cover-up the noise with your words or a simple "Watch" (I read this solution in another review).
I've often said "check this out" or "this is cool....check it out" while I do the dirty work. Would I prefer a silent gimmick? Of course, but the noise is not an issue with me.
