A new twist on the rattle box.
Wonder how examinable the cap really is? |

Rattled is really truly 100% examinable.

I have to say it does look VERY good. However, no more 'pre-orders' for
me - EVER!

Really does look great and the fact it is an innocent looking object makes me much more comfortable using it as a hobbyist. Look forward to more reviews and hope it doesn't disappoint!

You ask a good question Andi so I'm not being a smart *** but I doubt you would want to be handing that cap out unless you sw***h it. I like the premise on this one a lot - very organic.

Yes, it’s OK to say “switch”. It always amuses me when people use asterisks to supposedly hide a word when they know full well that everyone will know what the word is anyway! lol Other than that, I’m sure that you wouldn’t want someone to look and prod about with it to their hearts content, but then again there should be no need to allow them to do so in the first place.

Agreed that you wouldn't want people to examine and prod a prop to their heart's content...just not very good theatre. But in the case of Rattled...just for the record..at the end of the effect, the cap can be looked at and prodded to their hearts content with zero risk of the gimmick being discovered.

I believe that the gimmick can come out of the cap so that the cap can be examinable. I don't own this effect, but if the cap is 100% examinable it pretty much means the cap itself is not gimmicked. I have a rattle box, but not sure if it's exactly like a rattle box.
The handling where he takes the coin and puts it into the cap looks sloppy to me, but anyone with more experience with coins can surely make it look more convincing when supposively grabbing a coin and looking like you place it in the cap. The way he does it on the demo looks too obvious to me. That's me however. Although I believe that the cap can be 100% examined in the end, I don't believe that Rattled (the entire trick) is 100% examinable. I am pretty sure that the spectator cannot examine the cap at any point of the presentation as implied with the statement, "Rattled is really truly 100% examinable." Rattled, being the name of the trick, so what is being said by this statement is that the trick is 100% examinable. This should be corrected to reflect the truth that the trick cannot be examined until the clean-up is accomplished at the end. If a spectator was to examine the cap before the magic happens, they will discover that the coin is not in the cap and they could discover the gimmick. I believe the cap can be examined after the effect, as well as the coin, but to say that the whole trick is 100% examinable is very, very hard to believe. Other than that, the effect looks quite good, and looks like it can be used anytime, anywhere. I might pick this up, but once it's sold elsewhere.

Hi Dan
You are correct...the cap can only be examined at the end of the effect..not during. Don't want to confuse anyone here. The gimmick is self contained in the cap and never has to be ditched. Hope this helps. Janet |

Thanks Janet for the clarification.
I love the idea of not needing to ditch the gimmick. This to me is a very strong point of the effect.

And yet...... even more curiouser and curiouser.
Any idea of it's release date yet? As I, and others have mentioned, I absolutely REFUSE to pre-order anything.

From the ad;
"Resets in ten seconds (The Rattled re-set technology is a joy to behold)." I'm curious as to why it takes this amount of time to reset.

After all, 10 seconds is not really all that long. As for your question, there is only one way to find out. After all, isn't that asking for a tad too much info? Then again, when further hands on reviews start coming in I'm sure that, as always, too much exposure will be given in supposedly veiled responses that always fail to achieve that objective. Don't get me wrong as I'm awaiting some hand on reviews, but you have to admit that many times too much exposure, albeit it may not be intentional, is given.

Reset time..if you're on top of your game..you could re-set in five seconds. Just want to be generous with our estimate here for those performers who might move a little slower.
