To gimmick or not to gimmick?

[The_Logical_Magician]

I totally agree. I love learning and using sleights in magic. But sometimes some effects are really good since they combine these sleights with some gimmicks which allow a very clean image of the trick.
If you watch some of Helder's performances, you'll see that buying the double-facer (f.i.) is the least of your problems when trying to learn the effect.
