"It is very rare that I see a magic prop and immediately know that it has a place in my arsenal without question. The only thing I don't like about the executive clip is that it makes the rest of my mentalism look bad by comparison." -Spidey

"I am upset that I didn't think of it. This really is clever, and a step forward in my humble opinion. The fact that the item (billet, bill, etc) can be shown freely before clipping it in the clip is truly something special. I am a big fan of the executive clip; you will be too." -Sean Fields

"It never fails to get a tremendous response." -Bill Abbott

"This was my best purchase at MAGIC Live this year and I have already thrown out all of my old Ostin Clips. Add this device to your arsenal. You won’t regret it." -Master Payne, MUM Magazine review

"I've used it in over 1,000 shows and it has NEVER failed." -Chris Funk

The Executive Clip is the ONLY way to switch a dollar bill, playing card, or small object. No other device is as versatile, clean or reliable than The Executive Clip.

Professionals need a device that looks innocent and that is guaranteed to work. Chris Funk has been performing different versions of bill to impossible location for years. Perfecting the performance and method for maximum impact. The Executive Clip is the direct result of searching for the most reliable and most deceptive method. After thousands of performances the perfect method finally exists.

The Executive Clip
-Reliable
-Can be shown freely
-Perform close-up and stage
-Works with dollar bill, playing cards, and any similar item
-Looks like an ordinary object

History of the Executive Clip

The history of our art matters so we feel it is necessary to mention the giants in our field.Chris has created a great idea which is different to other popular switching devices but it is important to mention the others who have created and popularized the original idea.
The idea of using a bulldog clip to switch a billet or bill is not new. This gimmick was invented by Bob Ostin in 1953 and marketed by Davenports as “Bob Ostin's Dice Prediction,”
The original idea of hanging the clip in a large jar was created by Bob Fillman and popularized by Ed Fowler with his 200 to 1 routine.
Others who have worked on the original Ostin clip idea are John Riggs, David Harkey, Steve Dusheck and many more.

Caution Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 4th, 2018
This is an outstanding effect and the gimmick is extremely clever and very well made, however, I have a word of caution. I cannot use this the way I had imagined. This is due to a wrong assumption I made but I want to offer a word of caution in case you are thinking the same thing I was thinking.

When I saw the video I saw a dollar bill folded in front of a spectator and then placed in the clip. That is the dollar bill that gets switched out. I wrongly assumed that I could have a borrowed spectator's bill folded and inserted in the clip for a switch. But you cannot do that.

The bill that goes into the clip has to be prepared in a certain manner before hand. So I couldn't use it for the purpose in which I bought it. So just be aware of this.

That being said, now that I have it I will utilized it in the way Chris describes in his performance. For that purpose it is still an extremely powerful effect. I only gave it 4 stars because it didn't mention anywhere about this limitation.

Good, if you're into DIY Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 8th, 2017
This is a utility item with a lot of great possibilities. The only shortcoming, in my mind, is that the fabrication of the gimmick is left up to us. It's a simple matter to do, but for the money, it should have been done by the seller.

That being said, it's a great gimmick that can help you do a lot of near miracles, so long as you know you have an arts and crafts project ahead of you when you buy it (an easy one, but still). Go beyond the usual effects that are possible with this, and you'll have a winner!

Great Device, Requires a lot of DIY Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 5th, 2017
I will start with the good. This device works great once you build it (that's right you have to build it). It fools everyone I have used it on and I use it on a regular basis while street performing on Fremont in Vegas. It gets an awesome reaction.

The only downside is you have to build the device and it is not easy to do. Took me a couple of hours and multiple attempts to get it just right. I wish they had charged double and sent it out complete.

In my opinion it is worth $80.00 sent out complete. If it had come assembled I would have given it a 5 star.

An absolute gem for the magic community Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 20th, 2019
No doubt in my mind this gimmick will have a place amongst professional magicians for years to come. A huge leap forward for clips that came before.
The tutorial is in depth and interesting.
Chris gives 100% bullet proof routines that have been thought out in great detail. And no doubt they are feild tested hundreds or thousands of times by Chris, a real world working professional.
I've noticed a few reviews that mention that you have to put the gimmick together yourself. Please dont let those reviews stop you from purchasing this effect. The construction is basic and simple to do. Plus it gives you the working knowledge of the gimmick inside and out. Which is what any proffesional would want to know before performing any effect.
The price is very fair, this is a one time expense for something that packs small and plays big. It is built almost bullet proof to last years if not a lifetime. And will completely fool 99.99999% of the people out there.

Does EXACTLY what you need Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 9th, 2020
This clip is SIMILAR to others...but with a few improvements.

The device will not wear out or break. EVER!

The billet/bill/card/whatever is a separate object. The audience gets to watch you put the whatever very cleanly into the clip.

There is a slight noise when the magic happens, but easily covered.

I like it...a lot.

And although there is a small arts-and-crafts moment, mine came with 50% of the arts-and-crafts already done, and the remainder is brain dead simple.

If you need a device like this, I highly recommend this one

Executive Clip - Pros and Slight Cons Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 28th, 2017
Great concept but got to agree with many other comments; the gimmick should come pre-installed. For me there wasn't quite enough tape and installation can be tricky. And agree, it won't pass inspection. My bigger issue, though, is the noise. Depending on the choice of item you plan to switch out, the gimmick can make quite a bit of sound. Squeezing softly reduces the problem, but runs the risk of an incomplete vanish.

OSTIN OUTDONE Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 8th, 2022
This is an amazing device - so glad I bought it. There are so many uses you can get out of this and it's perfect for magicians and mentalists. The instructions provide a few amazing things you can do with it, but what I loved about it was being able to make an open prediction - writing your prediction down and cleanly using the clip to hold onto it and at the end, they can, again, see you take it out to show/read and you end up clean.

Another great advantage this has is the simplicity and how casual the clip[ looks. You can find these anywhere so there isn't a lot of suspicion. The clip can easily be "thrown" to the side and, if done properly, nobody would notice. That is, nobody cares about the clip and that's why this is perfect.

Lastly, there are no moving parts other than the clip itself being opened and closed and if you take good care of it, it should last a long time. If something were to happen to it, you may have to do some searching, but replacing anything that needs to be replaced shouldn't be difficult.

GREAT Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 19th, 2017
This is the best clip on the market. It can't fail. No more rubber bands!

What you get is pretty inexpensive, so you are not paying for prop, but paying for the idea. It is a little steep for what they put together, but the improvement is definitely worth it to me.

Mine arrived missing a piece, but Penguin mailed out a replacement right away, no questions asked.
