OUERMAMA Black Magic Cane Metal Appearing Cane with Video Tutorial and Free Gloves, Pocket Staff Magic Tricks

Very good product

My 19-year-old daughter has had this on her Amazon wish list for years! This year she was thrilled to get it in her stocking. But it has been a disappointment. It is difficult to collapse. Occasionally it works as it should, but most of the time, it gets stuck. Today when she tried to close it, instead of collapsing it cut the palm of her hand. I wouldn't recommend this magic cane to anyone.

broke first time trying to coil it back up, but was able to fix it with youtube video. edges are a little sharp, fun to mess around with just be careful

I do not recommend for young kids! I'm rating this 5 stars because it's exactly what I expected, but if you're not familiar with it, you could hurt yourself with this. When it pops open, it is swift and forceful - which it's supposed to be - so be sure not to have either end pointed at yourself or anyone else. I gave this to my brother, who is in his early 20s, and he had a lot of fun with it. Don't buy this for someone you think would jokingly point this at someone - it could accidentally open, and while it won't cause serious injury, it would hurt. Also, it does take some patience to roll back up, so a younger kid would probably not be able to do it or would break it by accident.

My 10 year old son begged me to buy this for him. I didn’t realize how dangerous this was until it arrived! I tested it and we figured out how to use it. I gave him the green light and he used it multiple times with no problems, until this morning. As he was “detracting” it and putting the pin in, it slipped and expanded and hit him right above the eye. The metal is so thin that it cut him and left him with a small welt right above his eye. DO NOT GET THIS FOR KIDS!! Had this hit him a 1/2 inch lower he could have permanently damaged his eye. This is very dangerous and I thought since he learned how to use it he would be fine but accidents happen. He wanted this so bad but after this happened he took it upon himself to throw it in the trash because he knew how serious this could have been. In fact, don’t buy this at all. It’s cheap junk.

Overall, this product isn't bad at all. It's relatively cheap and will survive you a while if you don't beat up on it. If you tighten the actual metal turns, its durability is increased to nearly the level to beat someone with it (not that I recommend that). However, it is a bit sharp. If you're not careful whilst extending it, there's a chance you can get a small skin cut. Nothing serious, just be careful. One handed extension is a bit hard to master, and so it wrapping it back up. A few reviews say it's near impossible to wrap up, but I didn't have a problem wrapping it up in under a few seconds. Pros: + Cheap but durable + Makes for a really good magic trick Cons: - Sharp

What can I say? It comes with gloves for a reason. They have no grip though, so I took them off to close it. Obviously that didn't go well. Easy to become unraveled and a b!7ch to put back together. Hard as a steel pole if you can open it in a jiffy, sure. Would not buy again, but hey it was $12.

So I bought this as a prop for some of my D&D sessions. We have a particularly annoying and obnoxious character who uses a staff. I thought this would be a pretty funny way to make him even more obnoxious. Upon first opening it this thing I made the mistake of being too close to the wall, causing it to launch OFF the wall and into my t.v luckily not breaking it. When putting it back together the sharp edges were very difficult to deal with, especially when it began unraveling. Its very important to wear the gloves supplied otherwise you will cut your palm like I did. We managed to get it open 2 more times, each time causing everyone in the room to run for cover. Its fast, its quick, and if your facing one of the edges it can easily put an eye out. The reason why I am rating this 5 stars however is because it is exactly what it says it is and works exactly how it claims to work, albeit a bit more "aggressively" than I had anticipated. Use the gloves, give yourself A LOT of room (especially when first time using it), and NEVER point it at your face. Hopefully yours turns out to be more worthwhile than mine however which is now sitting in one of my drawers like a live hand grenade Im too afraid to touch.
