I ordered my feel n' seal off eBay last Friday. I pleasantly received mine this morning and couldn't wait to get straight into it and see what genius awaited me. I am a big fan of Peter's work and respect him as a magician, however I wasn't so sure about this effect.
First impressions were good, I was a little surprised at how much material is necessary in order to complete the gimmick, although it is all stored very well and is all good quality. The main feel n' seal gimmick is well made and appears to be strong and you can put your trust in it as far as durability and usage is concerned.
However once I actually sat down and very carefully read instruction after instruction on the DVD, it become apparent that not only will you require another pair of hands to help you with the initial set up of the gimmick, but you will need to make other purchases and have specific items lying around that you can use. For £30, I would expect to receive ALL the equipment needed to execute this trick as best as possible.
With that in mind however, most of the DVD was well filmed and the quality was good, but on some of the most crucial moves needed when assembling the gimmick, the angles were a little hard to follow and I found myself having to rewind a number of times just to get a glimpse at what was really important. There is no spoken instructions in the tutorial, only subtitles. This isn't a problem as far as I'm concerned, however those who benefit from auditory teaching may want to think elsewhere as certain steps could have been demonstrated a little more concisely and with more detail.

I wont go into depth surrounding the actual effect itself and how the gimmick functions, but I can honestly say it is very clever and Peter has put some significant amount of time into developing his ideas.
Overall, I would recommend this effect as the price is reasonable, although if your not a fan of a complicated set-up process, time consuming gimmicks and subtitles DVD's, then by all means go ahead an purchase this.

Thanks
