Just an update on mine - the box itself works, however there was a large chunk of glue on one of the outs, meaning that anything on that side would stay stuck. Time will tell if I can either remove the glue or get the stickiness removed, but that’s something that absolutely should not have happened as it means sloppy manufacturing. The glue is clearly visible when you load the box, so this unit shouldn’t have left like this.
I still love the prop and will work to get this fixed, but things like this shouldn’t happen, certainly not at this price point.

That’s why if it were me, it would be going straight back for exchange. Something as delicate and precise plus as you said the price point, is why I would be getting a replacement. The problem then also being, if you try to be accommodating and fix yourself and unfortunately end up making it worse, I guarantee your exchange would be void. Hopefully the dealer will be understanding and offer the simple replacement. But honestly, send it back.

It should be perfect, like any gimmick/prop etc regardless if it’s $1 or $1000. The fair reality though is occasionally especially mass produced or even hand made items, we will get the occasional defect from different reasons. It should then be a simple matter to contact the dealer for them to simple exchange without hassle.
In this instance it could 1 in a couple of hundred that unfortunately you or anyone is the unlucky person to have received it (which is a shame). In fairness I don’t think I have read lots more others mentioning the same issue, so this probably is isolated with the problem. So yep, send it back and get a straight exchange - you won’t feel happy keeping it, being conscious of it and attempting to try and fix. |

I have one of the original run's, the Red Edition and it has never failed me. It's such a wonderful prop and so clever. I cannot recommend it enough!

It's a good purchase; like a lot of things in magic, it slipped through quality control, and producers really need to be better about things like this, but as others have been saying for years, this is a winner from Angelo.
