Looks like a good effect.

Sawing a woman in half is a classic in magic, imagine this stage illusion at the reach of your pocket...

Welcome to Pierce Maiden!

Not only the spectator knows about the illusion but they know the props you're introducing: A lip balm tube and a triple A battery.

Everything you need to perform this effect comes ready to use out of the pouch!

Start clean, ends clean!

Yes, it's a FOOLER!

Visual, weird and different!

Gimmick will last a lifetime!*

Bit of a missed opportunity on the name here. I would have gone for ION MAIDEN!

Im hoping the method isn't what I think it is lol

This has to be a joke?

Seriously, this cannot be a product.

The battery is not big enough to fill the lip balm, the hole is way off center.

You tip the battery down to the cap end, push the thing through.

This is embarrassingly bad. Who the heck green lighted this?

They should be fired. I know Penguin are going downhill, but really?

On the email they sent out- it said “ nobody can do this no matter how hard they try & all is examinable. They will beg you to tell them how it’s done??

Penguin is really reaching with this one..

I like how they did a throwback to the old Oz Pearlman demos

Wow. That looks terrible

I thought the same thing haha I miss those days

The worst product ever to come off a 3D printing machine.

I also thought the method might be obvious. However, if the spectator can handle the props and then can't even do it, then this sounds really intriguing.

LOVE the old school Penguin music, backdrop and titles! Made me smile.

Just seeing how he holds his left hand during the demonstration is enough to not be interested at all...
