I performed pick stick today, its the one where a small stick placed in one of three holes jumps to another hole and also jumps another stick.
Its normally very examinable till today when a spec. shook it and it came apart giving the secret away. When I checked it out I found the secret was extremely loose. could I fix this or should I return it as faulty? Please pm me with tips as I like this trick and would like to carry on using it? |

I had the same problem with mine.
If the shop is nearby then exchange it as you wont get a refund since you have bought the secret. But if you want to fix it as I did then all you have to do is put a slight bend in the inner "secret" as you call it. This will stop it from being loose. |

Rather than bending the secret, I suggest coating it with a little hairspray...
I used to work in a shop and demo Pick-stick all day long... After time, the gimmicks will become loose, (some already are) and if you hit them with a little hair spray to act as a roughing fluid then It should tighten it up sufficiently.... After time you will also have to repaint the holes with the tip of a fine sharpie... Enjoy Drew
