I think selling the exact same gimmick as both the "cupoodles" and the "silencer" gimmick is pretty deceiving, especially when hottrix encourages their customers to buy them together.

Hottrix gets two stars for "cupoodles" and half a star for their business scruples.

The gimmick is a revision of a common meathod used for this type of trick. It comes with a special gimmick that is expended after each gimmick, but enough for about 50 performances is provided. I performed an effect where I made a signed dollar bill appear in a bag of Doritos, and the reactions I received were well worth it. I got non believers to believe. But, you need to have some creativity with this effect to make it successful. The Silencer, also sold by Hottrix, is the exact same gimmick as the one in the CupOodles, but used in a different way. It requires some setup, but can be carried in your pocket and gets big reations.
