NOT THE GREATEST ! ! September 6, 2008
O.K. This corkscrew works, but not that well. The silver color fools ya. You think it will be made of metal and be substantial. Well, guess again! It is mostly (or all) made of plastic. Thus, it makes using the necessary pressure to open a bottle of wine, difficult.

Pretty Much Lives Up to the Hype July 27, 2008
The Houdini actually works the way it clams it will. It's a bit difficult for someone who, like Queen Elizabeth I, has the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I can do it, I can do it. It works better with real corks than with plastic ones, but even they come out eventually. We open wine bottles almost every day here, and this is a big improvement over our last opener, the kind you screw in, then use two flanges to pull up the cork, and then you have to twist off the cork manually. I bought this for my persnickity husband for Fathers' Day, and he always uses it now. No regrets!

Not like the commercials July 16, 2008
I saw the commercials for the Houdini on tv and was very impressed. It makes you think the cork is just going to pop right out of that bottle. Then I read a review on Amazon from a person who has arthritis that said this is the only corkscrew this person didn't have a problem with. Well let me tell you I also have arthritis and when I try to get that lever thing up and over the bottle I wish I didn't have arthritis. I don't like it. I can hardly get that lever up and over.

Nice! July 9, 2008
Used this 'magic' opener a few times and it's amazing. Very easy to use, almost effortless. Well-built and works exactly as described. Nice!

Greatest invention since sliced bread March 21, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

This corkscrew is a god-send. I have arthritis in both hands and wrists; opening a bottle of wine was both difficult and painful. With this device it is as easy as cutting through soft butter. And better yet, no struggling to get the screw out of the cork. It removes the cork from the bottle, then slick as can be, removes the cork from the corkscrew. What more could one ask for?
