I Haven't written too many reviews; but earlier last week I had read a lot of negative review and information on this product that had me second guessing/worrying about my purchase. So I just wanted to set the record straight for anyone in the same boat. Silent assistant is a very well made product. It is as advertised: Invisible in plain sight, and Silent (for the most part.. or at last, much much more than the already existing products that are used to perform similar effects). I don't want to give away the gimmick but, the trailer already does that so.. it's okay. The silent assistant will do everything your PK ring did, but a lot quieter and without suspicion of using ANYTHING. I did a coin vanish for my daughter and was able to show my hands "empty" immediately before and after the effect. She looked right at my hands 6 inches away from her face and confirmed my hands were indeed "empty". Now, onto the next item of discussion. The silent assistant came out the same time "control" did. It received some negative feedback because it is not as strong as control. I had the money, and was fortunate enough to purchase both products. I will confirm that control is quite a bit stronger, and you get a lot more for your money; HOWEVER, silent assistants main claim is that it is hidden in plain sight and Silent, where as, control is not. They are similar products, but They have their differences and they both have their strong points and set backs. I will definitely be using both in different situations and for different effects. Therefore, even though I will agree with some that silent assistant seems a bit overpriced, and is not overly strong; it is very well made and does exactly what it claims. I am happy with it and don't hesitate to give 5 stars.

Well made and fits snug on my finger. Blends in with my skin tone. Invisible when flashing my palms up. Tried vanishes,chop cup, penetrations and all work well. I will be having fun with this one. Wasn't sure about getting it but glad I did.

I prefer using this than a pk ring because it's practical, silent and discreet. The color matches my skin tone perfectly making it invisible. My only issue is that it has the tendency to slip through your finger while performing. So I experimented on using wax, tapes and even octopalm to hold it in place. And I find the latter to be useful.
Now I'm using it in all of my pk routines with confidence and enthusiasm. Highly recommended.

I have been wearing a PK ring and been doing the change one coin into another in the spectator's hand for a long time. This is a neat upgrade and is easy to ditch. Very creative thinking here and well manufactured. I tried it on my Magic Wife and it went right past her. That means Five Stars.

Please don't listen to the negative reviews on this. It's built to silently make things change or vanish. While being completely invisible no matter how much you flash the gimmick. They can stare right at it and they will never know there is a gimmick there. It is better then control for vanishes and changes. And control is better for PK. But you can still PK effects with this gimmick no problem at all. The people that give this a poor review probably haven't even shown it to anyone in the real world yet. And
Just wrote a review only after watching the tutorial. A real magician would know how strong this invisible tool can really be. I would highly recommend it. But it's all about what you are using your tools for. If oh want more power to move things then just get control. If you want to make things silently change and vanish and do most of what can be done with control then get this!

first this not silent second dont stay stable i will stay with my ring 10 time better silent assistant = garbage

very overpriced and magents are not that strong, better off with a 10 pk ring..

I got the gimmick so I can try to use it with [redacted] I just wanted it to look very clean when I did the effect but the magnet it's that strong but what really disappointed me is the fact that one size does not fit all its a cool gimmick,but I gave to my daughter which was not a fit but she will grow into it,is went ahead and got the pk ring

I gave this 5 stars because it does exactly what is stated, and solves the issues it stated. A great alternative to a PK ring. DVD was well done, gave multiple ideas as a start and the rest is up to imagination. The Silent Assistant is truly pretty much silent and is a huge plus. I went out and performed it the day after I got it. Sansminds did a good one here, I know sometimes their products can be a little shaky but they hit the nail on the head with this one. Yes, you have to be mindful to not expose the "assistant" but as long as you: as they always say -don't run while not being chased-, you'll do fine. Someone would literally have to be looking and also touching you in the spot where it hides purposely to actually spot it so discovery of it shouldn't be a worry at all. DVD instructions covers every detail including best way to keep it "invisible". I'll definitely be using this no matter where I go. Reading some of the other reviews on here...lighting shouldn't be even an issue at all, the DVD explains a way to "fit the assistant" and the "assistant" is decently powerful for its use. Yes it's a bit pricey but is worth it. My suggestion to anyone who might struggle with the Silent Assistant is to get a thumb tip or Sananda and play around with it for while to get used to the handling before using the Silent Assistant. Even as a professional magician I am blown away by The Silent Assistant and wish I had something like this earlier in my life.

The gimmick is really good, Well made and it is invisible. The explanation on the DVD is perfect and they even teach you a thing or two. Totally replace my pk ring. I highly recommend this.
