Hmm. Well, I think I like it, lol. It's one of those effects that's obviously going to be amazing to see as a spectator. In saying that, the angles are pretty sensitive so you really are going to have to manage your audience. Not a major problem but with the wow factor of the effect it could become a problem. The "In The Spectators Hands Version" is very angle sensitive and may best be suited to perform for just the person doing the balancing and no one else. I say this because I believe that once the objects start balancing a viewing audience will definitely start moving around to view all the angles they can. And with this, depending on how far away they are standing from the balancing act, angles will be a concern. Now, to confirm my initial thoughts I will have to perform it a few times first. I could be wrong but as I stated earlier, STASIS is very eye catching so after the balancing of objects begins I think lots of folks will move around to see from every angle they possibly can. And that's when the method could easily be exposed.

As for the retail price of $55.00, I am kind of split- the effect is very eye catching and the method used to achieve the balancing definitely works very well and is not difficult to do after a few tries. The materials used to make the gimmick are really not expensive. So I believe the cost for this is more for the "wow factor" of the effect. They do show you how to construct the gimmick which is not hard IMO. I keep coming back to angles only because when you are holding this performing the balancing, you cannot move fast to help shield certain angles if you had to because most likely a fast movement will cause the tower to fall.
=========================================================================================

In the demo you quite clearly cannot see anything as he turns around 180 degrees?


So for me, to give a more confident review I will have to perform it and see what happens. Some effects I can make a confident prediction immediately if it will work for me or not. I cannot make that prediction with STASIS. I love this idea and was very intrigued when a close-up version such as STASIS was released. Though, more testing and performances are definitely needed in order for me to determine if STASIS will become a permanent fixture in my sets.

BTW, the Other Brothers do a fantastic job with the tutorials and cover everything!

Yes, you cannot see anything when he turns around because 1)he is doing it in his hands, this is not possible when you are performing it in the spectators hands, if someone looks from the side they will see the method and 2) it's on a video and there is constant motion of turning. If you are standing there with specs close to you, depending on the angle they are viewing from, it is a definite possibility they will see the method.

So you know the method now before youve got the effect?

WOW! Propodog should be ashamed of themselves for allowing that dude to perform it and even more ashamed of themselves for doing it on a LIVE Facebook show. Sad! Hope they delete it!

Why? I say kudos to them for showing us what we’re spending our hard earned money on. If you want to continuously be deceived then crack on. Get a grip ffs.

Oh jeez. Why are you complaining? You really think that your next victim has viewed propdogs latest magic video vlog? I’m very thankful for these guys showing us the nitty and gritty and not the BS that the other brothers have shown via their deceitful video of 100 percent angle free performance.

I don't mind his performance you are right someone else should have done it instead. I am waiting for pegasus to tell us why they the (Other Brothers) showed a deceitful video of 100 percent angle free performance?

I think if this was a packet trick for 9.99 there would hardly be any comments but at that price it is (to me) a hell of a lot. I am sure we will be seeing lots of homemade demos going online soon.

I do think it's a little on the high side for what is received. As I stated earlier, I think the price is based on the strong effect it creates more than what it's made of.
