This review is from: Fascinations Levitron Titan Stellanova Globe (8" Blue) (Toy)

I bought this globe for my husband as a gift. It takes a while and some practice to get it to levitate and even once you can get it to levitate it only works for maybe a minute before the magnet at the top snaps it up. The globe itself is a thin, cheap plastic. I'm really unimpressed by this item, especially since it is fairly expensive for a globe. If the globe itself wasn't so cheaply made I wouldn't mind that the "levitation" is sketchy and brief at best. I would recommend people pass on this on this item.

It's difficult to make it spin without pushing it loose from the magnets.

I was very disappointed at how cheap the globe is and looks. It's a neat idea, but doesn't look that nice. Don't leave it anywhere that is accessible to children. If you grab the globe just a little to strong, it will crack easily. I would not recommend.
