 Yes it works - yes it's cheap Dec 24, 2006
By Wild Bill
The GeMagic DOES work. You do have to read the instructions. That is something most people are not fond of however so a poor design is often blamed for operator error. That being said, this thing is poorly made - however it is only $20 so don't expect forged steel and precise hinges. This could be made much better, but would you buy one at $100? You have to be very careful to line up the disc with the plunger or it will not work. The detent stop here is next to uselsss, so you have to eyeball it. I bought this for my wife at Walgreens (so I could easily take it back if necessary and I didn't have to deal with the rip-off 800 number on TV) and it works great. It is NOT a commercial duty machine, it is for the homeowner/hobbyist. If you are looking into mass production of beaded clothes, then you will have to investigate a higher quality product. Bottom line - if you want a low cost way to enhance some clothing and you don't mind spending some time doing it then this is a good purchase.

 So easy, even a child can do it! Oct 31, 2007
By Victoria Tarrani

This little package is perfect. It is so easy to use and make drab items have that sparkle you want.
You set the stone where you want it on the fabric; the prongs that create the snapped in sparkle are on the wrong side of the fabric with the right side facing up. Press the handle down until you hear a click. You're done!
My 9 year old pal showed me how to work it because I was busy with other things at the moment I got it out for her. The next day my costume arrived for Halloween with a loose ribbon. I connected it to the garment in seconds with a sparkling bead, added one to the other side for symmetry, and voila -- it was perfect.
I have one kit and will be getting another one because it was so easy and so much fun that I'm leaving this one for my pal.
Five stars -- it makes your child feel like a very successful creator.

Nice product. May 15, 2007
By Reese67
I love this, but with one exception. The big, black gem placer is a little flimsy. It feels like it might separate at the top of the handle when pushing down on it. It usually feels like that when placing gems through thicker fabric. All in all it is a nice product for the money, and me and my girls have been having a good time with it and doing all sorts of things.

 Waste of money Jan 20, 2007
By D. Shaw

I bought this to make a Valentine's Day shirt for my daughter. The plunger would not spring back the way it is supposed to so each time I wanted to set another gem I had to take it apart, pull the spring apart, then put it back together and load another gem. Finally, I decided it was easier to just push the gem in by hand, and bend the prongs in with needle nose pliers. After spending two hours making the shirt, my daughter wore it once. I hand washed it, and the metal on the gems rusted onto the fabric. Ughh, nothing seems to get rust out, so it was a big waste of my time and money.

Not bad, you just have to have patience and use the smaller tool! Feb 13, 2008
By VIDFAN

The Gemagic machine is basically a giant stapler, with studs and fake gems as the staples. You load the machine and then press down on it.
It takes patience - it works if you're willing to make sure every gem fits snugly inside the white holder (push it down ALL the way!) and then line it up with the machine's dent.
I found the mini magic tool works much better than the black plunger -you can sandwich the stud better between the fabric and the plunger. Still, the prongs don't always go all the way - sometimes all except one prong sticks out, sometimes it's two, and then I manually have to press down each prong with the tool. Luckily it's fairly easy, but it's a pain.
Also, I realized they can fall off if you're not careful. I bedazzled a tote bag only to find the gems near the bottom of the bag fell out after a time :(
But overall it's worth it if you're willing to be patient and detailed.
