Review
This is definately an item for clown/children's magic. Easy to figure out for anyone else. That being said, it can still be used in a comedy magic act. I got this for walk-around when I'm stilt-walking. It's fairly large, so it will be visible - and the gimmick gives you a chance to talk it up to the kids.
Overall
1 out of 5 if you plan on using this as a pure magician's trick
2/3 out of 5 for clown/comedy/kids magic
