SleightfulMagic Review - Neat & Tidy 2.0 by Wayne Fox & TCC
David from Magic Orthodoxy reviews Neat & Tidy 2.0, a rubber band transformation effect by Wayne Fox and TCC Magic, highlighting its strengths and limitations. The 2.0 version boasts a stronger mechanism and a smaller ball for easier transport, priced at $50. The effect, which turns a messy tangle of rubber bands into a neat ball, is angle-sensitive and best performed with specific clothing for the vanish. Despite these limitations, David praises its surprise factor and recommends it as a strong closer in rubber band routines. Additionally, he reviews TCC's Sticky Mat, a portable close-up mat, praising its practicality for magicians on the go.
