This product fails in a lot of angles. While some of the phases are great, mainly the penetrations.
a lot ofthe routine aspects seem forced and makes no sense at all. The props are also not as good as
I though they would be coming from PropDog.
First: For this price. You get the cheapest
packaging ever. The gimmicks don't feel like they justify the price. the cap on the shaker feels
cheap and the way its gimmicked is also cheap and not what I expected. It is not really crafted.
Not only that but the gimmick with the salt ball embedded in the cap is not exactly examinable
because the spectator can and will in many cases remove it if they try with their hands. it is not
strongly "embedded". A spectator even removes and breaks the gimmick in Craig's own live performance
on the video.
Second: The salt balls arrived already weary and the salt came off them which
it does easily. Craig talks about how to fix this issue but doesn't show you how to do it and for
the price there should be a demo.
Third: Some of the moves taught (I don't wanna reveal it
by saying the name) are not really convincing and the misdirection doesn't seem strong enough. you
need to think of this as a tool and create your own routine.
Fourth: This is important. The
two finales are actually confusing rather than magical. it is hard to make sense of it and you
almost have to explain it to the spectator. They will be confused and will not think "WOW" and this
can be seen in his own live performance on the video. The cap turns solid and at the same time the
salt ball is embedded in it after it was invisible for some reason. It is very bad in (Clarity of
effect). The Omni salt shaker is also confusing because it looks like a normal shaker. so one has to
take into his hand and then they will understand what the effect you convey is but it's not as
impressive.
Craig compares this to a chop cup. If you do a chop cup I guarantee you that
you will get better reactions than Crystalize 100% of the time.
All in all,for the price?
skip it. But it has potential if you have your own routine to create with it which I want to do. I
like the idea of it. but I am underwhelmed.
Underwhelming. Will leave you a bit salty.
