This item is strong and effective to do the job it is intended for. The video which comes with it is good too, taking you through the many exercises which can be performed with it.

I have tried to like this product, as I am interested in pilates.
However, it is difficult for me to use, especially holding it between the knees & thighs. It hurts to squeeze & bruises me. I found that a 25 mm ball is a better choice.
 Magic circle on the jaw? August 29, 2007

I picked this up in yet another attempt to get my flabby self in line. These are good exercises, but not quite up to snuff with true pilates.
Pilates to me is all about being on the mat, using the core, and pushing yourself to the limits. The magic circle is, basicly, your resistance in lieu of free weights or a weight machine. I understand some of them (the famous Thigh Master moves, for example), but some are a little ridiculous like using the magic circle on your jaw and neck. Can you really make them stronger with this thing? Also, you use this as substitute for a ball or another object you would be holding or passing as you do other excersises. If you don't have a ball, or don't have enough space to keep one at home, this is a good alternative.
Otherwise, it's just alright. Go with another pilates DVD without this thing.

Using this magic circle at home is a good addition to my pilates classes I take. Easy to use while I watch TV and effective for building muscle strength.

An easy to use and excellent addition to mat class. This circle provides just the right amount of resistance.
