Science Museum: My Mystery UFO

my son got two of these for christmas, one from his dad and one from a friend. him and his dad went to hamleys and the assistants did a demonstration and said it worked by gravity and force and of course he thought it looked brill.but when he got it home he was very dissapointed when he found out that all you had was some string and some strong blu-tack. all you did was tie the string around your finger and swung it around. how boring. I would never recommend this to anyone!

The other review mentioned that it used string.
It was more like hair!

You are paying for some hair and some pieces of cardboard.

Looks good, but its not worth it!

As for the person who said the string was black, well, they clearly didn't read the instructions. The black string was to show you how the other strings were positioned on the plastic.

It's a fiver - you get what you pay for. It's good fun.

Recieved this as a gift, and it really isn't very good at all.

The string is completely black and visible, so the illusion doesn't even work unless you're basically doing it in the dark.

I wouldn't reccomend this to anyone.

My 12 year old son was given this for his birthday and is loving it. He watched the dvd first and has got really good. For the price I think it's a fun little gadget.
