Disappointed. I have the original and was very excited about the newest version.
Pluses: Smaller housing as advertised (see note below); longer cable as advertised.
Minuses: 1. Not comfortable with the Teflon cable. Probably fine but I do like the steel cable on the original. 2. No extra bushing as advertised. In fact the bushing received on mine is half the size as the bushing on the original. 3. Carabiner clip is locked closed on the extra end. Might be a plus for others but I like it unmodified. 4. The buttons are painted on the new version but should be raised rather than be flat on the housing. 5. The housing on this new one is smaller but the difference is really negligible.
In my opinion if you bought the original don't buy the new version - unless the longer cable appeals to you. The advertising on the differences is true but misleading. I was really upset that the bushing was so much smaller rather than receiving an extra bushing as advertised as noise can be an issue. Trick is still very good but I felt I was misled regarding the old and new version.

Four stars from that review? Even though it's a good trick, seems like two or three stars would be more accurate.
