This is just my experience regarding the gimmick, based on the experience I had, fixing the gimmick actually quite easy, not too hard, you just have to be patient and take the time especially when you open the gimmick and glue it back together, otherwise you will ruin the gimmick. Without revealing too much, you just have to open the gimmick, especially in the top layer that has a X mark, then you simply clean the path and also give a little pressure on the card that has X mark on it with your fingers, like giving a breather crimp on the card, and make sure you crimp the card correspond to it's track or path, so it will make a bigger space to the gimmick to move, so it won't stuck anymore, then you glue back the card, and finish. I've only been once repairing my gimmick, and after that my gimmick always works perfectly until now.
I hope my explanation make senses to you and helps everyone of you that have problem with the gimmick.. . Sorry for my bad English... English wasn't my primary language... Diga |

Hi,
first my Gimmick was a little "stucking", too. But going with a cut plastik drinking straw into the Gimmick to make the passways a little wider worked perfectly to me. Second: Honestly, does anyone really use the red gimmick? I am very concerned about detectability (is there such a word ). I do not use blue bicycle and I would not like to carry a whole blue deck just for this effect... Thx for any tips and opinions... lesliemusalo |

Well after buying this twice, the first set stopped working within a week, the second set is sticking and have not even got to use it in a performance setting I may try a couple of the fixes. Tried to fabricate my own but it did not work all that well. I agree if the gimmick were more robust I would purchase another one. I only use the Blue, the Red, just too much to there to jump out at the spec, even in dim lighting.

Though I love this trick and used it a few times, I am also not comfortable to include it in a set. My blue gimmick just is very unreliable. The idea behind it is very impressive and I trust another creator or Tjiu will come up with a more reliable design.
I did however make an awesome instagram video that got a wopping 24 likes |

I love it but the bad thing if you bend the gimmick it will be damaged

THis is utter junk. The first one I got kept sticking, so I sent it back. The replacement was better, but I was never confident enough to perform it, and it went into the drawer, where it stayed until last night. I was out with some friends, and I had brought it along just to give it a go.
It stuck. It's still stuck, in fact: I couldn't dislodge it. Total garbage. Why do I resurrect this old thread just to say that? Well, I see it's still on sale, and people may be tempted. Don't be. |

I already own this effect and am looking to replace my gimmick that has been worn out. If you own this and haven't used one of your gimmicks included, let me know, and I'll buy it off of you!
(Since it comes with both a red and a blue, I'm sure there are guys out there that only use one color and have the other set aside in a drawer doing nothing; I have no preference)

I too had problems with a sticking gimmick and found the only reason for this happening was to do with moisture.left out in a dry environment on a flat surface and the gimmick works perfect now,easy fix.
