I love the idea of this, but alas, it just doesn't fit my style.

Might look at this. Could get away with wearing it some days. It would be nice to have a version sleek enough to fit neatly under a buttoned up long sleeve shirt cuff so it remained covered. Wonder if that would be possible. Or perhaps wear a short sleeve shirt and a sports jacket with it hidden under the sports jacket sleeve so it remained out of sight.

Takeachance - You can use this under a jacket with or without sleeves. In many ways it is safer and better than sleeving. You could also transfer the gimmick part to a different band of your choice. The video classes are worth the price even without the gimmick. It reverts to sleeving technique on a crash course. Hope this helps.

It does, greatly appreciate the insight into this StarManager, as that is what I was hoping possible with this.

StarManager, before I push the button, I had one other question. Is the gimmick built to last? Any on-going maintenance required or to be aware of?

This has no moving parts and is built solidly. I cannot see any way it would wear or break. Anything that did could be fixed with a drop of superglue. No issue here. I hope this helps.

I got mine in today....what can I say....I love it! To be honest, at first when I saw the simplicity of it, I thought meh! Once you start messing around with it then you see how strong this thing is. For me, because I have smaller wrists, I will definitely be tweaking mine. I wore mine out tonight and no one was none the wiser but this fits my style to a T. I wear lots of bracelets and big watches so it is not out of place at all, however, obviously this isn't going to fit everyone's style or taste. But if it does, you will have a killer utility at your disposal. I for one will be wearing it all the time even when not performing (only a hobbyist), just because I like the look of it!


I feel Vindicated! I feel exactly the same way and I love this! Glad you do too!

I have made contact with Mike Liu who is the inventor of this product. He was kind enough to share the attached photos with me showing the prototypes which are on a thinner bracelet. The width id determined by your hand and wrist size and by Dollars or Halves that you will be using. The bigger both are the wider the band needs to be. You can cut his gimmick out of the supplied band and put into any band you like with superglue. Wanted to share this with all here.

I believe this type of watch band would work for smaller or younger guys and gals. Transfer the guts from the supplied band to something like this.

Why I was wondering... Can you hide the gimmick in the sleeves if they are rolled up ? Just like in this picture ?

If it's possible and if you can produce/vanish/exchange things under this condition, then, I will buy it.
To be honest, several months ago, I tried to conceal a reel with a strap under my sleeves (rolled up) but the outcome wasn't that good, so I didn't insist.

You can hide under your sleeve rolled up BUT I do not believe it will be very useful. First there would be a bulge. It is large. Second the distance to ditch and retrieve is farther than intended and you'd have to be very good and lucky to make this work. Not advised.

You CAN use this with jacket sleeves.

I'm happy you took the plunge! I thank you for the "sales" title but I don't get a dime here. I just think this item is worth it for close up guys and especially coin workers!

Well, maybe magic dealers should pay you for what you're doing !

Anyway, I trust you, but I will try to contact Mike Liu, and ask him if he can make something for me. I can pay more if it works. Like I said, I have attempted some experimentation for making little objects vanish (and being retrievable) given the following condition : rolled up sleeves while wearing nothing on my wrist. It was a waste of time. And I gave up entirely.

I'm tempted to opt in aswell on the strong recommendations and clarifications. Will let you know how it goes. One question? They mention vanish bills?
