Most people will say the quality is perfect, and it generally is, but since it happened to me I'll post it just to show it is possible. My gimmick was flawed and I'm not going to say how it was because I can't say unless I reveal how it's done. So if you are curious send me a PM (only if you've bough it). It was usable, but flawed, and the flaw got worse and worse so I can almost never do Panic anymore.... I'm going to have to buy another gimmick for 10 bucks now plus shipping so make that 15. So I'm just posting this to show it is possible your gimmick is flawed and it's going to cost me now 15 bucks.

Also, the gimmick is nowhere NEAR at ALL worth 10 bucks which makes me incredibly mad at T11... it is a rare flaw I'm sure though so I was just one of the few hundred or thousand to get this flaw... it just makes me mad...

How long do you think it would last? the thing is i live in sweden and to get things shipped here is very expensive and i can see myself doing this effect very often

If you don't get a flawed gimmick and it should be assumed you wont, it should last you many months. Just be very gentle with your gimmick. You will love it though, I guarantee it. You will laugh when you look at your gimmick for the first time. I know I did. The method is so simple... yet you will never get caught.

I have had my Panic gimmick since the end of September -- which was about four months ago -- and the gimmick is still in excellent, workable condition. Moreover, I perform Panic frequently, and I doubt that I will need a replacement gimmick anytime soon.How long do you think it would last? the thing is i live in sweden and to get things shipped here is very expensive and i can see myself doing this effect very often
However, accidents do occur, and it may help to have an additional gimmick around. That said, if one takes care of it, there should not be much of a problem.

The question is... why you never contacted T11 and let them know? They would of graciously replaced it for you. Also, you didn't just pay for the gimmick but also for the secret. I would say more but from your comments you seem to be still new to magic so I'll go easy on ya!(lol)

No they wouldn't..... I did contact them. I don't blame them though for not replacing them because I could had just been one of the people that lie and just wanted another one. So I can't really blame them, but I was angry and I'm sure you can see why. Also, yes payed for the secret when I payed 25 bucks for the DVD and gimmick. Now I'm paying for another gimmick for the secret... and it's 10 bucks.... 10 bucks for that gimmick in my opinion is ridiculous. Anyone who owns Panic should know that Theory 11 is profiting off those gimmicks. 9 dollars minimum I would say... I love Panic, but within the next 2 weeks I doubt I'll be able to perform it anymore. So the next time I buy something from Theory 11 I'll unhappily pay the 10 bucks.
Again... this flaw probably is incredibly rare, I just got unlucky. I still recommend buying the effect as I'm the only case I ever heard of this happening to. I'm just saying my story.
