Before starting, this is an honest review from a real person.
I ordered this trick thinking I could get some really cool "vanishing device", but I got something else-- I'm not going to reveal the trick, but it was NOT what I was expecting. Some MAJOR things you need to consider are

1. LIGHTING,
and 2., CLOTHING.

The magic trick is very limited with those. The concept is good if you cut out part of the gimmick. Also, I don't know how you'd use this trick if you didn't have a plastic thumb (like the ones used on thumbwriters), which also shows that it is NOT meant for real-life. Even in social media it's hard to pull off.

To wrap this up,

POSITIVES: Well designed, sturdy if used right (will last long)

NEGATIVES: Misleading, major light and clothing restrictions, some props are needed before buying (fake thumb + scissors, tape, etc.)

So overall, I don't recommend this product. If you're looking for another vanishing trick though, I recommend checking out CATCH by Vanishing Inc. (I have not bought this so review it before buying!)

Thanks.
