This is one cool toy. It shoots self-replicating torroidal vortices (think smoke rings) for way far. I have the smaller, original version, the Airzooka, and it can indeed mess up someone's hair at 10 feet. Someone once said it's like "being punched by a ghost". If no one buys me one of these bad boys for my birthday, I'll get one myself. As my dad says: "from me to me with love."
