Random I-Tunes Song of The Moment: Crazy on You by Heart

Cuttin' to the chase . . . get this. Assuming you like the effect. It is as clean as the video shows. It's easy to do . . . in fact, the hardest part is the one time effort required to make the gimmick. The DVD includes everything you need for this arts and crafts project.

The ad copy is pretty much legit, but we should clarify a few points. There are a couple performances in the video that cannot be done without the addition of a certain piece of [ahem . . . ] jewelry . . . Also, when using that particular method, there are moments when your hands are not empty . . . so the claim that the hands are always empty is not entirely true for a couple of the methods/handlings.

For me, if I were to do this, I would use the [ahem . . .] jewelry method. One other thing, they say that you can use it on any pants . . . well . . . during the explanation they say that you have to make the gimmick differently for dress slacks, but they don't say how, and looking the stuff that you get for creating the gimmick, I'm not quite sure how you create it to look the way it should.

However, even with these issues, this is a solid product. And though the method I would use is not the one supplied, the supplied method is still good, some better than others. Everything you see in the video trailer can be done with one of the methods taught.

Different methods are more or less practical than another, but you'll find one that fits for just about any circumstance you'll find yourself in. So again, the bottom line is that you will be able to do this effect, but the best method (in my opinion) will require that extra something mentioned above that is NOT supplied with the DVD.

Final Verdict:
3.5 Stars with a Stone Status of Gem.
