I am looking at purchasing the trabucco holdout. I have used the search feature and read up on it but I still have a few questions. I know that it can be done in an untucked shirt, and you don't necessarily need a jacket, but what is included in the set? I just am hoping that it is as "visual" and good as people claim it to be. If I can get at least one or two, really strong and clean effects I think I may consider it.

I also read somewhere that someone was using a much cheaper product in the same way as the holdout (pm for more details, I don't want to expose anything). I had that much cheaper product and if that is what the trabucco is like, I can't justify spending that much money on it...Any help is appreciated. If a trabucco owner wants to pm me and chat about it, I'd love it. Thanks so much. Everyone here is so friendly!

Ben,

Posted a thread a few days ago on holdouts. the guys have given me a lot of info. You may want to try to post it there...It's under manipulation.

Sending you a PM.

I just have to say......Vic Trubucco was personally showing me coin magic last year in NEW YORK....
..... I congratulated him on his excellent sleight of hand.... Also we all know Vic is a fantastic guy!!
.....Come to find out he was using the Trubucco Holdout....I could not believe it ... I never noticed anything that would indicate Vic was using a holdout....THATS HOW EXCELLENT IT IS!!!! It is undetectable!!!!! And quite unbelievable............
...........Vic fooled me badly ..I admit it 100%.
I was so fooled I couldn't believe it!!!!

I just wanted to tell those who may have an interest in his Holdout!!!"IT'S EXCELLNT"

MICKEY SILVER

I have one and it broke within two months of using it. It is a very good utility device but it is not very sturdy.

Hello,
I've purchased the Trabucco Holdout and concur with Mickey. I've found it very useful, well made and very deceptive. The props and instructions that come with the package are all very well thought out. Vic's performances are really smooth.

Don't forget- It makes a great companion and/or utility device for the Triple Threat or 3CM.

I am a new user of the Trabucco Holdout and have to say that it is the best investment that I have made in my magic...period. I do magic at a children's hospital and the Trabucco Holdout allows me to absolutely confound the kids. It's easy to use..in fact, after installing it, I was using it within ten minutes. Obviously, many of the supplied effects take practice but there is no difficult learning curve. All of the supplied components are high quality and well thought out. If you want to take your magic to a new level, don't hesitate. Invest in one of these. You won't be sorry. I purchased mine from Elmwood Magic. Owner Paul Richards is honest, trustworthy, and will do anything to make his customers happy.

Is this holdout big and hard to conceal?
What kind of clothes do you have to wear for this?

I have one and use it with great success.
Mine broke after a few months. Paul Richards exchanged it for a new one. Paul is great to deal with.
It is an awsome weapon. I have a couple of coats which I transfer it between.
The gimmick is not visible and should never be seen. I have used it at club meetings and no one has ever suspected it's use.
