Sanada Gimmick

Just received them in the mail (quick turn-around Vanishing :). I am surprised about how much bigger than the original. I have a cloaking device I bought off of Jay Scott Berry and his was more compact and a better fit.

The Sanada gimmick fits well in your hand and does everything you want from the gimmick. This is my first Sanada so I don't have the comparison from other manufacturers though. This should last you a lifetime.

I've never used one of these before, but I can see how the tool could easily have as many applications as a Vernet T-tip. Initially, I thought it might be easy to see from a spectator's POV, but doing various things in the mirror proved otherwise.
It works very well for exchanging a billet, or completely concealing a CT.
Very cool little device!

This is another accessory that I believe every magician should have. It's very versatile, since it works for stage, parlour an maybe even for close-up, with several materials (silks, sponge balls, bills, etc.). No instructions are provided, so you might want to get additional books or DVDs if you have no idea on how to use it. Or you will just need time and creativity to come up with your own.

The gimmick has many uses and has been a favorite utility item in my performances for many years. I use it for productions, switches, mentalism, as well as some classics that would normally use a thumb or finger tip. Highly recommended.

If you own a thumb tip, which you should, this classic gimmick is a close relative. I find a lot of laypeople are familiar with the thumb tip gimmick(doesn't matter. still fools them. even when they're looking right at it) but they've never heard of or seen a Sanada gimmick so it adds another level of deception. It fits okay in my hand. The color doesn't entirely match my skin but it doesn't matter. people just aren't looking for it. It's not the thumptipless thumb tip. It's its own animal. You can replicate a lot of classic thumb tip effects, but it has other effects that can't really be done with a standard thumb tip and vice versa.

This is an excellent gimmick. It's a good size and the skin tone is great and realistic. It does everything you would want a Sanada to do. It's bui;t very well and when handled correctly, impossible to detect. The price is great as well.
