It switches out flat objects quite well and the entire unit doesn't take much pocket space. I like
that this device is portable and unassuming.
Besides being a switching device, it can be
used to make things appear or disappear. I appreciate this type of flexibility.
There is a
slight audible click/snap during the switch but it is easily covered (e.g., snapping the lid,
flicking it, etc).
The reset is easy, but needs to be done in private. I've done the reset
in front of laymen, but only during an offbeat, and not immediately after the routine.
I
find it best use the case as an incidental holder as opposed to: "look what this device can do".
I haven't had anyone try to pry it open - they just look inside and shake it; nothing ever
falls out.

It takes just a LITTLE practice with the gimmick, but what good trick doesn't require just a touch
of practice. Quick, clean and easy to do. One of the best things I've purchased.

I just got this product and think it is one of the best of its kind ever created. Within 30 minutes
I was performing it for friends with ease. It has so many practical uses as well as being an
everyday object which is how I always prefer my magic. The concept is an old standard in magic, but
this new reinvention of its use makes it unrecognizable to even the most seasoned magicians. The
only reason I give it a "4" and not a "5" is that I wish it came with more than one as to be able to
be setup for multiple performance right in a row. Not a big deal since setup is quick and simple,
but it will not be surprising if magicians use it for the same trick over and over again in the same
night and a different trick on a different evening because of the little setup that is required.
Overall, I love it and would recommend it to professionals as well as amateurs. Enjoy!

I like it because its a carry around trick that is easy to fool people. I think its a bit expensive
but I ordered another one so that I could do a follow up with it. I wish Penguin Magic would send me
two for the price of one and they could keep the instuctional dvd. Listening guys!

Like all great magic tricks, Strip is a gimmick that can be used for a multitude of tricks and feats
of astonishment. The DVD is easy to follow and is well made. The gimmick is well made and will last
for years. I recommend this product to any close up artist who wants a versatile gimmick that takes
up little pocket space.

The trick is awesome. It's as simple as that.
An everyday object that can make things
disappear or appear right in front of the spectators eyes?? It takes an old trick and gives it new
meaning.
I have been using it in a simple card routine similar to the first one shown on
the DVD, but I modified it a bit because I don't really like the "I'm tearing your invisible card"
routine. The look on someone's face when they see the reveal is absolutely incredible. They look
like they are witnessing real magic.
The gimmick is well constructed, for what it is.
There's not much to it and as another reviewer said I wish it came with another one so I could have
two of them.
The DVD is put together pretty well. I actually sat down and just watched
the entire thing all at once then went back and started working on things that I liked.
Overall, the package is superb. It's one of the items that I will ALWAYS have with me now, not
only because it's so portable, but because it's also so powerful.

This is a must get, you need to add to cart! Very portable. Simple to do. Visual! Set up is sooooo
easy and fast. Genius gimmick, spectators won't even notice the gimmick when handed out for
examination.
I returned it! 'Nuff said about that! Penguin gave me a credit for the purchase...THANKS!!!!!
I ended up returning mine. It is just too unpredictable and could not rely on it to work as it
should 100% of the time. (that is what you want in magic). Great concept, but not a reliable
product.
Nothing need to say, Paul Harris does it again, great all around effect, great DVD, you can do this
anywhere, the gimmick should last at least a year, and when you know the secret the gimmick is not
so hard to replace, 10/10!!!
