Nice review Kevin. Looks like I might need a Magic Jacket of my own :lol: :lol:

I can get the two pieces apart and manipulate them, I just need to find the trick and release them now :?

Pfft, just rub it in, why don't you!!! Lucky f*** :( :lol:

BACK ON TOPIC: Oh and I just got an Elk as well. Had one a while back that we got from a Christmas cracker (back when cracker toys were good!!), but it has since been misplaced so I can't tell whether it was a Hanayama one or not. But I got a new one now anywho :D

IMHM, I think Cast News is one of the best. Well made, aesthetically appealing and very challenging from a puzzling perspective!
