I'm sending this back for sure. This is difficult to explain without tipping the method. Basically the trailer is misleading, and in most of the shots you see, they aren't doing the real effect. They are cheating, using only the gimmick without the deck. It's one thing to cut out a bit in a video to prevent reverse engineering, but to use a cheat method is another thing entirely. Also, you can only do this if you're wearing a certain color.

The gimmick is constructed poorly, a prototype at best, and will not last long at all. I can't imagine the construction nightmare if you were to have to make another after the first inevitably quickly wears out.

Unless you want something that you can do for youtube and then never show someone in person, save your money.

That's because it is a prototype. They released the concept Nick provided to them without his permission and aren't paying him on top of it. #shameonsansminds
