I bought both versions ( smarty & m&b ) I'll give both opinions at the end of my review.
You'll
get 4 same Gimmicks high quality made from metal, have some little bit of weight but not noticeable
for the audience, these Gimmicks give you the opportunity to prepare & load 4 smarties enough for 4
performances if you are performing for tables, you'll be ready to go straight for the other
audience.
You need to buy your own smarties pack, these are only Gimmicks for you to add for
your own pack of smarties.
The full explanation link about(plus/minus) 1h 50min explained
perfectly, Craig Petty teaches everything you need to know plus he gives you some routines for you
to make a full act on stage & close-up , teaches handling, ideas , lot of stuff for beginners,
hobbyists & pro.
There are two versions the Smarty and m&b tube, the loading method is the
same method, but there's a deference Gimmicks, the smarty version you need to buy a new pack because
you'll be destroying the pack for every performance and this is the downside for this version, the
m&b version you'll get the gimmicked tube that will do the work for you and you need to reset your
gimmick tube after every performance by adding candies using the same tube( you could buy any kind
of mini M&M in plastic bag and pour it in the tube, take seconds)
The m&b version you'll get a
bunch of clear plastic nylon seals so you could sealed your tube and it will make the trick more
impossible & stronger.
The smarty version & the m&b tube packaging size are different , the
smarty way too smaller than the large m&b packaging .
In my opinion both of them are great to
own so you should be performing same trick but with different candies brands , but m&b version has a
benefit that you could be using the same tube over and over again and again, and it's too easy
finding a refill from any local store/market/grocery.
