Carpenter's Nightmare

 (3)

Imagine being able to bend a large solid nail to a curve of 90 degrees just by gazing at it. And then immediately hand it out for examination. Quick set-up and reset. Easy to perform - no switches, the nail stays visible throughout the entire performance. No pulls attached and no sleeving. Instantly examinable.

Clever trick but only suitable as an opening close up trick or table hopping as you can't just delve into you pocket or case and perform the trick, it needs a little bit of setting up. At $25.00 it's a bit expensive, although the gimmick would have to be specially made.

Here's a $25 waste of money. I bought Carpenter's Nightmare and it sucks! There was no lying in the ad, just very deceptive wording and most people would think it was much better than it is. There is no demo video available on the internet so you have to rely on what the ad says. Don't waste your money. You will be disappointed like I am. If you still buy it after reading this, then remember, "I told you so." The move you make before handing it out for inspection after the trick is suspicious looking and unnatural. This again, is another trick that I could not even sell in ebay for a measly $5. How pathetic! I'm stuck again with another piece of crap.

I first bought this trick from a friend several weeks ago, then read both of the (previously posted) reviews found here. As I'd only fiddled with the trick one day, I thought the reviews rather harsh in their respective timbre. After spending a'lot of time with this effect, I now believe it to be in the "pure garbage" arena. The instructions are horribly misleading.......yes, if performing this for a sleepy 4 year-old (if you're good at verbal misdirection), he might find it amusing, but that's about it. The instructions are utterly mucked up and the whole mess is difficult and awkward to hold.......this is a trainwreck that should've been trashed on the drawing board. I gave it an extra one-half star because the instruction booklet is pretty.....heaven knows the trick itself isn't.
