I got this in the other day. I have to be 100% honest. I can't see the justification of this costing almost $200.

I assumed I would be getting all props set up and ready to practice/perform. This is not the case at all. You have to make the props yourself.

Now I have no issue making props BUT at a price point this high I would assume these are made for me. The routine is a nice one but not worth the price tag that comes with it.

I was very disappointed in this purchase. I would strongly advise that you guys spend the extra time to make the gimmick instead of having people pay top dollar only to realize they have to make it themselves.

2 stars because it's a nice idea and effect but everything from the cheap cardboard box it comes in with the poor quality DVD and then finding out that I paid almost $200 for a few silks that I still need to spend an afternoon to make myself was extremely disappointing.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions. The effect looks almost identical (minus the tube) to The Crystal Tube, made by both Tenyo, and Magic by Goshs; the latter can be purchased here for about $9 (http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/4423).

And your revelation that at that exorbitant price, YOU have to build the prop makes me just shake my head.
