It's fun to play with. If you look around you can now find them for 6 or 7 dollars. It's not heavy enough to do a lot of moves with precision but if you treat it like a different prop you can find moves for it. The transparency really adds to the mystery. There is a little tab on the lid so you can finger clip it. It's not a must have. If you can find it for 6 or 7 it's worth it just to play with something.
