Not Tissue Paper Report this review

A bit deceptive.

You CANNOT do this on the fly with someone else's tissue.

You CANNOT give it away or have it examined because they WILL notice it is cloth, not tissue paper. If you give it away you give away the gimmick.

You CANNOT just put it in your pocket, it needs to be flat and compressed.

For best results, you need to carry around a large tissue box.

Other than these glaring problems it is impressive. It will be great when you are doing close-up and someone invariably asks for your bunny.

I have only done it a few times with lay people and truthfully, I think sponge bunnies get better reactions. It will impress magicians since it is a new method/effect.

I love the effect. I think it's pretty clear from the demo video that this is cloth (to be fair, it didn't state that in the description I guess). It doesn't say you can do it impromptu with someone else's tissues. It also doesn't say that it can be given away as a keepsake. It's pretty clear that for $20+ you were going to be getting a reusable gimmick of some kind. I think the effect deserves more than a 3/5 for the reactions it's getting and the simplicity. It should last you a very long time.

Hey Kerry,

First of all, I thank you for your purchase and I'm happy you find it impressive. I don't really disagree with the majority of the critiques you're making (though you can carry it in your pocket, if you have a sleeve or tiny book or something, BUT I do have to take issue with you calling the demo video deceptive. I never claimed you could hand it out or give it out...right? Anyway, glad you're enjoying overall.
