The photos are very misleading. I thought this looked like a lot of fun so I bought two. The toy does create rings but unless you are in the right light, or semi-darkness, they are almost non-visible. Even if you are in the right light so you can see the rings they travel 4 or 5 ft at best and are maybe two inches in diameter. Very disappointing and anti-climatic. Maybe my expectation were to high from the photo's I saw and what I read.
