David asecas, I notice that you have added a post very soon after me in three totally different product threads. Each post written a few minutes apart.

And each seemingly promoting the product.

I do hope this is just a coincidence...

1. Can the device switch back and forth between the objects? Meaning after the switch, could you put the switched out object back in the pocket and immediately switch it back? (For reset purposes)

2. Can you use this with a pocket square also in your pocket? Would the pocket square have to be folded flat and tucked behind the device or can you easily use the device with a fluffed-up pocket square also in the pocket?

3. How much bulkier does the device make your pocket appear up-close and in-person?


Just received it. Very clever design. Yes, yes and for the 3rd question, It can be used in a shirt as in the tutorial. Surely it would look a little bulky, but that might not be a problem using the proper-sized pocket.I once wondered whether it's noisy switching. Totally not!

No, unless you use super thin cards both in and out.

**question**
Can a card be placed in your pocket(or in the device) and taken back out without the switch taking place? I ask because I’m interested in using this product for the Virginia City Shuffle packet trick. I perform this trick standing and always place the “blank” card in my breast pocket instead of on the table. I’d like to use the switch-a-two to change the last blank card to an ace for the finish. Here’s Michael Ammar performing this trick to help better understand my questions:

Hello:

I'm not familiar with the trick you mention but as long as a card is already loaded (to be switched later) then yes, you can place a card in the breast pocket and NOT do the switch. I do Corner of Piccadilly and even place the card at a slight angle so it doesn't "drop in" to the gimmick and then remove it the "first" time and then do the switch when appropriate.

I hope that helps...

James

I love this. Haven't had any issues with it at all. Become a real utility device for me. Serves as an out if I get into trouble with a timed force etc. Love it.

I've used this for a while now (including in my competition act) and am a really big fan. With a bit of time mis-direction it looks completely innocent. I've adjusted mine slightly to allow use with a magnetic card which is switched in and it completely flys by people.

I have it, and it's a great tool to have. The switch is very smooth.

I'm interested in using this with NFW to return 4 jokers.
I don't wear a jacket.
I do wear a dress shirt with a pocket.
I haven't seen a clear answer to the dress shirt pocket question.

Does anyone here use this in a dress shirt pocket?
If so, are there any tips on how to do that without it being noticeable?

I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable using this in a shirt pocket. It is used successfully in a shirt pocket on the tutorial but I couldn’t see myself using it that way.

In a former post, it was said that not all shirts would work, it will mainly depend on the type of shirt, and its style. Obviously a regular black shirt should work better than a tiny, slimfit one. Hope this helps.

Does the dvd teach you how to load a signed card in your top pocket (with the back facing out)?

A comment in a Penguin review has me concerned... Are magnets a required part of the Switch-A-Two gimmick? Or, are magnets optional?

I have a cardiac pacemaker.

Doing tricks can be easy, being an entertainer is much harder.

I own Switch-A-Two and there are no magnets. I have a brand new one I'd be willing to sell for $40, postage included within the US.
