I got the Magic Bullet blender thing for Christmas. We tried to make a smoothy in it last night and it didn't work. Is there some trick to this thing or is it just another thing marketed that doesn't work?

I wish I could shoot mine with a magic bullet. It's pretty worthless. I like how it says not to run it continuously longer than 1 minute or else the motor will burn out.
If you have the receipt for it, I would try my best to return it. :)

Using the Silver Bullet: Easy and Fun
One of the unique features of this amazing device is that it is so easy to use; users do not have to press any buttons or go through complex guidebooks. One has to merely position one of the Bullet Cups or Party Mugs on top of the high-torque power base and press. The operation is simple and by means of the Silver Bullet, you can make delightful party delicacies such as salsa, guacamole and bean dip, stimulating frozen margaritas and pina coladas, a diversity of tempting pasta sauces, mouth-watering desserts like creamy chocolate mousse or frosty milkshake and more. All this involves limited labor and there is no need for the annoying clean up later.
How to Use the Silver Bullet Blender
Pack the ingredients into the Short Cup, Tall Cup, or Party Mug. Rotate the Cross, or Flat Blade till the time the blade and cup have a compact seal. Array the tabs, put the bullet on the Power Base and push down on the cup to switch it on.
Here's how it operates. When you're clutching it down, the Silver Bullet is functional. When you want the blades to stop rotating, just release the clutch. For using it while keeping your hands free push down and cautiously rotate the cup clockwise till the time the tabs fasten beneath the edge of the Power Base. Immediately the Silver Bullet is in Lock On system in which the motor operates constantly. To switch it off, just rotate the cup back counter clockwise and free the cup.
Lock On system allows you to keep your hands free while using the gadget for mixing foods till the time they attain a soft uniformity. This is the procedure for making creamy delicacies like chocolate mousse, smoothies and frozen cocktails.

YES! I love it, except for the part where you open it to stir or add more ingredietns, and when you try to screw it back together the stuff gets everywhere.
If you are pressing the little plastic things that are sticking out into the little grooves on the motor, it should work, and if not, maybe contact the company for replacement?

I have had one for a year now. You need to put the liquid ingredients in it last so they are close to the blade when it mixes. Also, kind of move your hand a little when pushing down on it.

I know someone who owns one and they love theirs.
Didn't you get an instruction booklet with yours?
You could try the company's website; you could probably email a query from there.
