How does this compare to Bretzel that's just being released.
"The New York Papers," Mark Twain once said,"have long known that no large question is ever really settled until I have been consulted; it is the way they feel about it, and they show it by always sending to me when they get uneasy. "

For me this is social media kind effect! I don't know about Bretzel!
Since its working is obvious you should have idea about the limitations.

How easy is the "switch" for viewer to exam? Thanks.

They show you a couple of ways in the video to end clean. Not hard.

I tried the rubberband penetration in my closet and ... POW .. one bead shot somewhere... I pulled everything out of my closet and searched high and low for it. I reached out to Hanson Chein and he said he has a replacement pack - will let you know what it consists of when it arrives.

Here is my review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnKgnx2Ardg

1. The examinable bracelets are NOT ball and chain that you are thinking of, they can not "unclasp" and open up

2. The replacement pack is as long as the gaff bracelet - minus the clasp, so technically with the replacement you could make your bracelet 2x longer

Overall I like the T-1000, the effects are visual and impressive. I must admit that once I got it I kept asking myself if the method wasn't obvious but then I remembered how I felt when I first saw it performed. My main criticism of the T-1000 is that it is too easy to lose balls. This could have been overcome by providing a few extras with the trick but unfortunately there are none included. In fact, every time I have attempted the rubber band effect a ball has been sent flying across the room. My advice for those considering buying this, and I do think it is worth buying, is to be careful of where you practice because you may have to go searching for lost balls. Because of this you may also need to buy a second T-1000 to use for replacement balls.


Mine actually did come with an "extra" ball, it was hiding in the clasp. Not sure if it was deliberate, but was happy to find it there.

I just noticed that the T-1000 has been discontinued by Ellusionist.

Any ideas why?

I looked at and reviewed this product on the latest episode of my review show.

I really didn’t like it for several different reasons which I go into in the review.

I hope it helps if you on the fence about this product.

Here’s the link to the show.

Hi Craig,

Thank you, as always, for your honest review. When I look at this with my magician's eye, I can see why you would hate it so much. And it's for the reasons you stated in your video that I would never perform this at a serious gig or for sober adults.

I was actually able to pick one up during a sale, so I got it super cheap. Knowing it's faults and obvious method, I got it mostly for kids. Ryland liked it (at first, before you talked him down to 0%), and my kids were amazed, as well. I think after I perform it a few more times for them, they'll figure it out, though.

There's a new version (T-1000 Special Edition), which I don't plan on getting, for the reasons which you passionately explained in your video. Overall, I think it's a fun little effect for drinking events and kids, but certainly not for any serious shows.

Thanks again for your review!

I realized why this was discontinued. There's a new version:

https://www.hanson-chien.com/products/t-1000-special-edition

I think the only difference is the color.

If you're thinking about getting this, watch Craig's review, and consider where you're thinking of performing it. If it's a paid gig or one where you have to impress, I say pass.
