From the Ad copy:

"If you perform Magic or Mentalism, you know that a low-tech, nothing-to-break solution is always the best. Pablo Amira and Alan Wong bring you an easy and elegant solution with the USD.

The USD (Universal Switch Device) is a slim, playing-card-size holder, made from real leather, that uses the same philosophy as the UPD (Universal Peek Device) -- it enables you to create your Magic or Mentalism routines in a direct and simple manner. Switch anything in plain sight, using this classy and thin holder. Achieve multiple outs and predictions. This can be carried conveniently inside any shirt pocket, or placed comfortably inside your wallet. You receive the USD, written and video instructions so you can perform right away using this wonderful and powerful tool.

Add your new USD to your classic routines and make them stronger!"

I've got to admit it sounds really good.
The Universal Peek Device (UPD) was great, and my guess is this will be too.

Best,
Ever

Why bother going to the effort of putting a trailer together, to not show this being performed.

I agree with Prince. It would be really good to see this in operation so we can all better judge its potential.

First thing that came to my mind too. We are no longer in the 90's. Our magic purchasing hormones are now enraged by the sight of a well produced trailer.

Sounds like a good product though. What would the advantages be over a everyday-carry wallet that switches too?
How many magicians does it take to change a lightbulb? Regardless, for magicians darkness is a time for d'lite.

Hey guys, thanks for the interest and concerns.

The USD is very simple in construction, great quality leather, full with different versatile options. I will take a performance from the video instructions and add it in here.
There is nothing to see really, just as in any effect using an "himber wallet". The USD is my solution to it using a minimalist approach, as I like.

By the way, we have it in a special introduction price in here http://universalswitchdevice.blogspot.cl/



All the best

That would be much better. Thank you.

I am leaning towards this.

Well, nothing new here. There are other tricks using the same tool from many years. So the principle of the switch is obvious (even from the photo) and not new, but the quality of the props looks good so I believe it can be a nice addition inside in any wallet.

Is the card held at the opposite end on the reverse side? more deceptive that way...

Our mission at Mystikos is to create simple innovations fro the working mystery performer. In our line of products you will not find clever new methods or "magician foolers", rather effects and tools from my own repertoire that I use in my work as professional performer and the USD is one of them.

If you want cleverness in gimmicks, you have plenty of other creators that focus on that. If you want real world tools, techniques and effects, Mystikos can be your new friend.

Remember that we have it in a limited special introduction price in here http://universalswitchdevice.blogspot.cl/

@Yuan: Yes Smile



Any other question, just contact me in here or privately.

Anyone want a pastry after watching that? Say a turnover?

That is the main reason of the UPD. Spark creativity and allow Magicians or Mentalist to adapt it to his own uses.

Yes Raum. The UPD is especially constructed so you can carry it in any wallet and transform it into a swiss-army knife for Magic and Mentalism.
