In response to the Troublewit wearing and getting tears at the creases, I've been performing it for
many years. I wouldn't even start using it until it's broken in and that means it is showing some
wear at the creases. I just use scotch tape to repair any tears. Mine will have been taped and
repaired many times before I would consider it worn out and ready for a new one. If you are taping a
few of the creases, it's probably just about broken in. It will go for many shows before it is truly
worn out.
