How accurate is the ad copy? Roger Mayfarth is the inventor of D'lite

What's in the box? A set of Prisma lights in the color of your choosing

Key points: This is basically a repackage of D'Lite

How are the production values: Murphy's makes good videos, well shot, good mic, lots of good ideas and no distracting music.

Is it well made: I like the material the TT is made from, it's been a white since I owned a D'lite, so I can't remember if these are made "better" or "worse." They seem to be about the same.

Is it well taught: Rocco knows how to make these work, so I can't imagine a better instructor.

My thoughts (what I personally liked/disliked): Personally, this effect has been around for so long, I've seen these for sale at Disneyland, they are at every Magic Kiosk at Christmastime and the Bright Bugz version have been around forever, even sold at Bed Bath and Beyond. So, while this is a fun distraction, I don't know why this needed to be rereleased.

The light bulb and cell phone effect are the best ones - but require the yellow or bright blue prisma light. These work better as they help disguise the familiar "D'lite look."

Storage? Does it "pack flat?" two gimmicked TT .

Does it "play big?" I think it plays "fun" and "amusing."

Difficulty / Skill level required: all

How much arts and crafts are involved? you might need to size to fit

How practical is this in the real world? (can it really be done?) While it doesn't necessarily need to be dark, it sure does help disguise the gimmick,

Overall score: let's toss out the traditional score of 1-10 and make this something that we all can appreciate and understand.
