Hi Darryl, I have a question about the cut of pants pockets. I see that you use casual pants or jeans with “high” pockets that have an almost horizontal opening. I mainly wear dress pants with welt pockets, which have an almost vertical opening. Is it possible to secure and operate the PK with this type of pocket, or is it better to use jeans-style pockets? Thanks!

Hi, a jeans style pocket is required for this, Casual pant pockets will not work

Is this also a durable device? I.e will I be able to sit comfortably with it in my pocket, and when loading the cards into the gimmick slots, are the separations made solid enough to not break from “stress “ of the cards. I’m ready to be ordering this soon! Thnx so much.

Yes, yes and yes….over 6 years of R&D Thanks for your question ??

Silly question, but can this also be accomplished in a back pocket?

Good idea ….lol….just tried it …..yes worked well too.

Is this trick for beginners or intermediate?

Both beginner and intermediate…..My son is 15 and he is not a magician whom has learned it well….so a non magician age 15 playing with the index I’d say he had it down with-in 2 weeks….but someone familiar with cards/magic etc whom is a magician whether serious worker or hobbiest would likely get it down in half that time or sooner. Hope that helps.

I have one more following question, I see on the trailer you can make this look like a deck inside a card box. If so is that true? Can you customize the gimmick & dress it up as a Card Box? Thanks again! :)

Hi Richard :) Yes - it’s all covered as an options for you to set it up as per your preference and performing style.

Would be helpful to see the mechanics to differentiate between other indexes and make an informed purchase decision. We all know what an index is and the purchase decision for everyone will be guided by if this method fits their needs above others im sure people would agree.

Think of it like a mechanical device with your thumb as the engine that drives it…but due to how the different built in components work alongside its engine(thumb) your thumb has such easier time easily locating any freely named card in a moment to few seconds with simple set up for invisible card extraction. The operation or thumb movement is so small…like the bigger action covers the smaller action sorta thing going on with these action or movement happening in seconds…there is a lot of in depth teaching in the instructional content…we have really left No stone un-turned here for you.

Hello! My question is regarding the safety pins. do I need to safety-pin this to do this with this effect for when it’s in the pocket?! Thanks.

This will depend on pocket depth of your pant or shorts used.

Is there a moving part on the device that helps with the extraction?

No…it’s a mechanical device with your thumb being the engine that drives it. Very simple invisible extraction.

Pocket King is one of the smartest pocket indexes we've seen in years.

Most pocket indexes, however well designed, have the same problems. The number of cards they hold are limited. They only can produce folded cards. Or they ask you to do the one thing that spectators notice most: dig into your pocket.

Darryl Vanamburg built Pocket King to solve those problems.

This is a full 52-card index no larger than an ordinary deck of cards. With it, you can produce any card, seemingly without ever going into your pocket. Your hands stay visible.

Even better, Pocket King works with most pants, jeans, and shorts, so you are not tied to one outfit or special setup. And unlike many indexes, you are retrieving a normal unfolded playing card ready for immediate use.

That means stronger reveals, cleaner productions, and routines that feel like real magic.

What can Pocket King do?

Name any card and make it appear from nowhere.
Deliver a named card to an envelope.
Produce a named card from a phone.
Build impossible revelations into your existing routines.

Why You'll Love It

Full 52-card index
Secret steals that look invisible
Hands remain in view

No sleeves

Pocket King comes with the index and plus more than four hours of instruction with live performances and detailed tutorials.

If you have ever wanted the power of an index without the usual compromises, Pocket King may be the one you've been waiting for.

Customer reviews for Pocket King

Dave

This an excellent piece of apparatus. The usage is THOROUGHLY explained. The access of a specific card is not instantaneous but it is fast so that a routine will flow naturally, which he explains and demonstrates. The promotional video includes shortened sequences, but one sequence provides a full, real speed demonstration of the product. The explanation videos are not necessarily sequenced in the best order for understanding the product's concept, but as you work through the videos, the details start to come together. One long video has content at the end that should have been separated from the rest so be patient as you watch. This definitely requires practice but the product works are described. I am quite hopeful that I will be able to master using this tool.

Brett

A really well made tool that works. The explanations are excellent and no stone is left unturned. It will need a bit of practice but in my opinion after purchasing several other index’s I have found this one to be the easiest and most intuitive to use.

- 2. Darryl responds:Not sure why it keeps putting question marks after my answers sometimes …lol cheers
- 3. Darryl responds:It is very durable - extensive testing on it ….you asked about back pocket use ….although it works in back pocket - I would not sit on it applying all your body weight to the index is all…move it to your front pocket when about to sit down if you plan on using it in your back pocket is all… cheers

- 4. Andrew responds:I think trying to describe a non-mechanical item as ‘mechanical’ is a tad disingenuous and, at the very least, confusing. It simply seems to be exactly what it looks like - a, possibly 3D printed, plastic case. Don’t get me wrong, I am genuinely interested in this product and whether or not it is easier to use than other devices available.
- 5. Darryl responds:No worries - I respect your opinion - however the inner workings of the unit is not just a 3D printed case - a lot more going on than just that with regard to other inner workings that all work together when it’s loaded with a deck of cards is all….cheers
