Received mine today...
As always making things simple is the difficult thing to do!
However, these guys have pulled it off yet again! (I have the TKO also).
This is crafty. Very crafty indeed!

We are inclined to believe those whom we do not know because they have not yet deceived us...

Looks like I'm going to have to pick TKO as well.

Thanks a lot Jeff and Michael.

Very good product ! ... but a bit complicated when you are left handed.... obliged to inverse the movement, and it is not very natural.

So I assume wearing a vest is out?

No. I bet a vest would be okay.

Jeff sent over a copy of this for us to look at and we did a full review of it on last week's episode of the Magic Marketplace. Not only did we review the product and give our opinion but we also answered questions sent in from viewers so all angles are covered. If you'd like to see the review I've included the link below. Have a great weekend guys! http://youtu.be/uGL1h4u2En0

I just finished writing a big review (with pictures haha!) for Any Signed Card to Any Spectator's Wallet. I tried to answer all the major questions that you may have about the effect.

The main thing that I did not address was the "lefty issue," because I had no experience with it, and it sounds as if Jeff is going to be taping a video about it soon, anyway. If I left something else out please feel free to ask, though!

You can read my review here!

When you purchase the UCCU you receive a password that will give access to the member’s only section of Jeff Kaylor's website. There you will find a special section for the left handed magician. Jeff covers left handed handling in detail. I am left handed and have no trouble with the UCCU.

In the members only section Jeff also explains how to perform with a tie. There are benefits to wearing a tie and the handling of the device is not difficult.

I love the UCCU but find myself using it in conjunction with other tricks since I save my wallet with KK as my out. It works fine with a tie and I'm considering getting a second to make my own 'condo'. A very, very useful addition!

Love this! I will say I find the members section a little lacky of ideas, but one that was there was using uccu for a sandwich effect. Ive been working this idea for a few weeks now and blow people minds!

It's just one of those amazing extras you get with this device. A TT is always ready!

From what I have read I gather that you need a button down shirt, is that correct? I often perform in medieval clothing and I don't wear a button down shirt. Dang it, this realy sounded like a great gimmick.

Correct. You would need a button up shirt or something similar. I would try to alter your medieval costume to conform to this requirement because this gimmick is too good not to use. I am at work right now and I have been wearing mine all day. I totally forget it is there until someone asks to see a trick. I love it!

I wonder if Kaylor can line the inside of the UCCU with satin so the load & retrieval would be smooth as silk. I'm gonna look into getting this done for myself.

Overall I like this utility. It's genius & Kaylor's load and retrieval looks invisible!

The only gripe I have is the length of the DVD. Would be nice if the creator went deeper into nuances of the load & retrieval. He showed you how to do it, but didn't delve deep enough. Also would be nice if they showed a complete performance either studio or street so we could get a feel for timing and flow within a routine. Instead cuts of the performance were shown to illustrate the techniques - akin to printed instructions, instead of a complete magic tutorial like those from Richard Sanders or Bill Abott or a ton out there. Maybe they preferred customers to get further tips and info through their website.

Besides my issue with the brevity of the DVD, I thought the gimmick is great. I will look into lining my UCCU with satin. I think this will be a joy to perform with.

After seeing this I got my wife to use a black silk I had and to sew it to the inside..all I can say is...works beautifully!

I went out and performed card to spectator's wallet a few weeks ago outside of a club. Such a brilliant utility!
