I agree with Mr. Anonymous.
Over the years I spent lot of money on magic tricks, most of the time I regret it afterwards, but in case of Sleeve Star I don't regret single cent. I don't even understand why Mr. David Jay do not keep the secret for him self (I would). The true is........every magician all over the world trying to find out the way how to get an object from point A to point B without any moves. The answer is "Sleeve star". It took me about 20 minutes to set it up in my jacket, but it only require 1 set up and off to go. No reset. After about 2 hours of practising (mainly my rusty sleeving techniques) and I was able to perform real miracles. Now....I have my sleeve star over two days and already thinking to buy one or two more, so I can put it in all of my jackets. With regrets I have to say I didn't get my first Sleeve star from penguin (they are my favourite on-line store), but I was fortunate enough to get it on Magic convention in England, where I saw David performing it live on stage. I'm also very happy that the price is high, so many professional magicians will think twice to buy it. Basically...... less magicians will have it = more fun I'll have to trick them. I think this is the one of the best thing I got in very long time. Michael Phillips / Ireland Did this review help you?

I very seldom write reviews but I thought I would weigh-in on this one. For starters I now own two
of them. Why? Well...I use a topit, a jacket, a body servant. Each one is a killer utility device,
but now I've added the sleeve star and now I'm ready to present several effects that simply haven't
been able to be performed as cleanly or as magically with other methods.
Ok, yes...you could say I'm a fan! In fact I wish I had thought of it...but David Jay did and I'll give him the respect he deserves for it. The video goes into as much detail as you could hope for regarding set-up as well as use and as far as the effects, you are shown several options. The unit's design was really well thought out, and is made of top quality materials. As for set-up, a temporary method is shown as well as a permanent method for dedicated clothing. This is what I used and am very satisfied. NOTE: Do not purchase this device expecting or hoping for a self-working trick or especially a substitute for real sleeving. On the contrary, to use this device, you must understand and be able to exicute sleeveing with proper technique. You must also wear a jacket ar at least a shirt. However the good njews is if you don't already sleeve, this will give you plenty of motivation to learn a skill that will stay with you for the rest of your magical career. This was one of my best purchases this year. Good luck! Did this review help you?

My name is Michael from Paris.
I'm professional performer for last 15 years. After seeing the demo for sleeve star I was skeptic at first, but now it is permanent addition to all my close-up acts. Every once a while someone comes with something new, something unique, something great. Sleeve star is one of the best addition to my act in recent years and J will gladly recommend it to all professional performers I know. As there is no reset what so ever is also one of the most convenient effect to be performed on the spot without any preparation. Unlike the review below, I'm very happy to put my name here (I don't think the gentlemen from San Francisco have the product in the first place.) Here in Paris we have quiet large community of Sleeve star fans already. Sleeve star = invention of the year. I would also like Mr. David Jay make a DVD just on sleeving and without any gimmicks.

Genius, just genius.

The Sleeve star is really good.
It enables me to do things which I could not achieve with just sleight of hand. I prefer to use spectators finger ring instead of coins, but the 3fly routine is certainly the cleanest things you can all do. Imagine three different coins, all signed travels from one hand to another hand without funny moves is brilliant. I'll give it 10 out of 10 if I could. Did this review help you?
Great effect, extremely overpriced

I really like this effect, but it's seriously overpriced. It does exactly what they say it does,
that's for sure. However, there's likely not worth of material and construction time in this
gimmick. The majority of what you're paying for is someone's intellectual property, and the margin
is simply too high.
With some practice, you'll be sleeving well, and with a little thought put into your wardrobe you'll be capable of performing this effect to perfection. Don't be fooled by the DVD though, I guarantee that David isn't using this thing installed via the method they outline. He has done what you should do, and visited a seamstress to ensure that this gimmick is properly aligned and installed into your jacket (Gregory Wilson pretty much already outed the item this far). I recommend the item for functionality, but have docked it heavily due to the price. I don't mind someone making a car payment or two off of me, but I don't want to buy someone a car. At this is a much better value. Did this review help you?

I bought it because it\\\'s so amazing to be able to make a coin or any object dissappear from one
hand to another without palming the object. Real brilliant piece of magic. I have not try it yet but
I must say I have come up with different ideas of where to produce coins and objects. This is one of
many that I recommend.Believe me, this is one you must get.

2 Stars For The Concept

I'm giving this 2 stars only because the idea is good, but that's about it, the other stars are gone
because the "gimmick" does not really work, I had to make my own customized version.
And so, the DVD gets a 3/5, and the Gimmick gets a 1/5, for a Total Average of 2/5. It does requiere a move that's very unnatural, unless you have spent YEARS practicing sleeving, it will look forced or strange, remember spectators are not fools. The truth is I regret buying this one, well at least I learned that the most hyped effects aren't always the greatest, and so I always read reviews first, ask then and finally buy.. ;) Did this review help you?
This is the worst effect that I have ever purchased. Especially since i paid out the wazoo for it.
I have never been so angry about buying a gimmick as I was when I tried to use Sleeve Star. The
instructional is absolute RUBBISH and the product is garbage. I highly recommend that you save your
money on this one. I Bought it from my sort of local, but still have to drive a long way, shop. I
can't believe my dealer would would dupe me like that. I told him that when I went in again too.
Penguin is the best. I will always stick with purchasing from them. I will just choose more
carefully.
