Great effect but Spirals make it difficult Report this review

The method on this is phenomenal and it's a great trick. The problem with it is that the spirals do not allow the pages to flip open easily, which can severely hinder the execution of the effect.

The cover and page of the pad get caught mid flip because the spiral binding slants and does not allow for a clean flip-over. They did this so that you can easily twist out the spiral and replace sheets, but it's a massive design flaw and prevents this effect from really being a practical "worker" for any sort of constant strolling gig.

The proper way to make this would have been like a ParaPad, when the spiral binding is straight, not slanted, and opens like mini plastic binder rings to insert new pages. I would pay double the price to see it made properly- and with plastic covers to prevent ripping. It would make the difference of this being a go to worker effect for me, or leaving it in my drawer, which is where it is now.

I was having the same problem because the extras made the pad too tight.
Remove some of the extra give-aways, as directed in the instructional video. You will find it works perfectly.
