This will go right into my junk drawer.

I "thought" that I knew enough about the science behind it before I got it, having used Wire Grams..(Just in reverse).

Nope I was wrong !

It in NOT at all practical, unless you live in Antarctica.

As a walk around performer it is of no use.

If you are a science teacher it would be ok to use as a teaching tool.

I would suggest Bently over this.

This doesn't seem to be the popular opinion, but I love this trick. This is very close to real magic and can be executed in ways that will leave spectators completely dumbfounded. I work in an office that uses a lot of paperclips, and I can see this trick becoming a very regular miracle I perform.

Those of you who know about these kinds of metal bending effects, know on the certain drawbacks. These include having to reset each time and have good management of the gimmick and your surroundings.
However, clip is probably my favourite of the metal bending effects. It's the most convenient taking up a very small amount of space as well as it being a very recognisable everyday object. As it's small, the set up isn't too bad either and could be done in under 30 seconds. I should point out however, you do need to buy another part (quite cheap) to be able to use this gimmick. Would I perform this walk around...not until I work out how to make it more practical...do I like the effect...yes! It's visual and you can have the bend happen in the spectators hands, I don't think you can get much better than that! Overall 7.5/10 :)

As for me, when i perform i dont mind carrying extra things to maintain the CLIPS effect shape, because I believe if your paid well your audience deserve to see good and visual magic!..this comes with 2 clips which complete my CLIP bending routine. I also added the SHIFT paper clip. For me this is a good buy!
