Before reading my review. Read the others (the low star reviews). Don't worry, I'm still here. Just read them. Ok, that out of the way, I was very hesitant to check this trick out. Eventually traded a friend and got my hands on it as a bonus. Looked through all of it. So lets get to the nitty gritty details while avoiding the Scary Penguin Edit (hehe).

Pros:
-One of the easiest Rising Cards out there (Trust me, I've seen a lot)
-Practical (contrary to what others say...)
-If you clip the gimmick, you can't injure yourself as others state, wonder why nobody thought of using nail clippers to be safe
-You can continue your card effects as the deck is ungimmicked
-PERFECT if you're strolling. Include this in a 3 trick set, and you're golden.
-Easy Cleanup (Close Shirt pocket, you WILL need a flap to close that overskirt pocket if you wish to end "clean"
-Shirt not destroyed as another states, just a very small edition made
-Worth the $10 pricetag

Cons:
-Gimmick takes a sec to setup
-You CANNOT sit down without removing the gimmick first. (Read other review for hints of it)
-You must cleverly maneuver the gimmick post performance (after the performance) so it won't dig into you. (thoughts below)

Other Thoughts:
-If you can create a miniature pocket you can set the gimmick into in the pants section, it would alleviate discomfort.
-If you're doing an act in a set location and not moving much, and want something cool in your act, this WORKS!

All in All, if you're the sitting type don't bother with this effect, you need to stand. If in a set place, performing for a bday party in a set location, its PERFECT, still viable if you're strolling. Can be a stand alone effect, but I think its better in a small walk around set.

Its clever, and I like it. Recommended.
