"A while back Yuji Enei showed me a prototype of this effect and we talked about ways it might be improved. When he showed me his improvements shortly after, I was blown away by how much he had made it better, and how ingenious his solutions were. The Pendant really is a work of wonder. The best part is that the clever gimmick makes performances a breeze. In no time at all, you'll be astonishing magicians and layman all over the world."
- Kiyoshi Sato
"A deviously simple trick from a brilliant new creator in Japan. I hope you will get as much enjoyment and inspiration out of this effect as I have. There are so many different ways that you can take this effect. I hope you find my handling useful as well. I cannot wait to see what he comes up with next!"
- Shouma
"When I saw the gimmick, I was surprised at how unexpectedly analog and clever the mechanism was. I think this is a wonderful effect that can also be used to give spectators memorable souvenirs."
