Zorbi magic flying saucer reviews

Right, so make it look like the thing floating might actually be able to fly on its own electronically, like a drone. Good idea.

Wow I wonder If that saucer can be disquised in an object ? this way It won't look like a toy would definately pick this up if so.

Is this the same thing?

I still recall the day I met Beaker from the Muppets. He said to me "Meep, meep, mee mee mee Meep!", and that has made all the difference.

Posted: May 8, 2020 08:19 pm Shipping to the U.S Is only 4.95 ! I may just order under 20.00 with shipping . Posted: May 8, 2020 08:23 pm Dollars or Pounds?

Just curious, what kind of object you want to disguise the saucer as? IMO, a flying saucer does just that, flies. And I think the working lights on the saucer definitely enhances the effect. I think with the right presentation this prop could bring a lot of fun and comedy as a filler during a set.

Due do to the shipping to the US doesn't make this feasible to purchase especially because I don't believe that this item will be durable enough to justify paying that amount. I'm sure it's going to drop on the floor and how long will those lights last after a few drops?

Yeh I just realized the lights stay on I agree it's a cool toy as a saucer . I wonder if this technology can be used in ordinary objects to allow you to float them would be really cool idea ! Fruit , Pens, Donuts, playing cards,candy etc, Cell phone would be awesome with lights on ! oh well I am going to order this the saucer will be neat just the way it is .

I was in Harrod's in December with my family and ran into the Marvin's demonstrator showing Zorbi. I wasn't really interested since I have never done these kinds of effects, but the family really liked it and insisted I get one. Just a little perspective from laymen.

But also show them the effect done with a card, or a coin, etc and I'm sure they'd agree it seems more impossible with those objects than an electronic device.

I actually disagree. I don't particularly like this device, but it leans away from IT and they will be looking for a drone controller. When they don't find one then I think the effect is stronger than with a card/coin *

* Due to the fact that the helicopter card trick has been massively over exposed to the public.

I agree. Plus I think it's really cool looking! I figure if I use it and it fools people that's great but I actually think I want to get this just more for myself to play with, LOL!

The set is complete with a set of cups and balls, a magic wand, two special deck of cards, a wallet, few coins, other magical stuff, and a nice small book with clear instructions on how to use each item. The box is well made and I wish I could have had this high quality magic set when I was a child! ”

Reviews for "The Return of Hansel and Gretel: Exploring the Success of 'Witch Hunters"

1. Emily - 1 out of 5 stars: I was really disappointed with "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" starring Will Ferrell. I love Will Ferrell's comedy, but this movie just didn't do it for me. The humor felt forced and not at all funny. The action scenes were lackluster and predictable. Overall, the movie felt like a waste of time and I wouldn't recommend it.
2. David - 2 out of 5 stars: "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" was a letdown for me. I was expecting a fun and exciting twist on the classic fairytale, but instead, I got a bland and forgettable action movie. The story was weak and the characters lacked depth. Will Ferrell's performance was also underwhelming. The movie had a few entertaining moments, but not enough to redeem it. I wouldn't watch it again.
3. Jessica - 1 out of 5 stars: I regret watching "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" with Will Ferrell. The movie was a mess from start to finish. The plot was overly complex and confusing, and the dialogue was cringeworthy. The action scenes were poorly executed and didn't make up for the lack of a coherent story. Will Ferrell's comedic talents were wasted in this film, and I couldn't wait for it to end. Save yourself the disappointment and skip this one.
4. Daniel - 2 out of 5 stars: While I usually enjoy Will Ferrell's movies, "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" missed the mark for me. The concept of turning the fairytale into an action-packed adventure seemed interesting, but the execution fell flat. The jokes were mostly unfunny and forced, and the action scenes were repetitive and lacked creativity. The movie had potential, but it just didn't deliver. I'd recommend giving this one a pass.
