I Haven't written too many reviews; but earlier last week I had read a lot of negative review and information on this product that had me second guessing/worrying about my purchase. So I just wanted to set the record straight for anyone in the same boat. Silent assistant is a very well made product. It is as advertised: Invisible in plain sight, and Silent (for the most part.. or at last, much much more than the already existing products that are used to perform similar effects). I don't want to give away the gimmick but, the trailer already does that so.. it's okay. The silent assistant will do everything your PK ring did, but a lot quieter and without suspicion of using ANYTHING. I did a coin vanish for my daughter and was able to show my hands "empty" immediately before and after the effect. She looked right at my hands 6 inches away from her face and confirmed my hands were indeed "empty". Now, onto the next item of discussion. The silent assistant came out the same time "control" did. It received some negative feedback because it is not as strong as control. I had the money, and was fortunate enough to purchase both products. I will confirm that control is quite a bit stronger, and you get a lot more for your money; HOWEVER, silent assistants main claim is that it is hidden in plain sight and Silent, where as, control is not. They are similar products, but They have their differences and they both have their strong points and set backs. I will definitely be using both in different situations and for different effects. Therefore, even though I will agree with some that silent assistant seems a bit overpriced, and is not overly strong; it is very well made and does exactly what it claims. I am happy with it and don't hesitate to give 5 stars.

Nice review Chris. Which one would you recommend using with "The Gift" (in case you know it)?

Thanks bro. I've heard of the gift and watched the trailer. But I'm not familiar with it or how it works beyond that, sorry.

Just curious, how do you show your hands empty after the vanish? Since the trailer shows the secret I think it's ok to talk about this. But from my understanding, your hand would be dirty with the coin stuck to it after the vanish, correct? Thanks

Saw someone commented about the fit...while my fingers are not cigar size they are not slender...is that going to be an issue or can the width be adjusted somewhat? thank you in advance for any help you can provide

Hi Chris. Fellow Canadian here! lol. Not sure if you will still get this as I'm responding over 5 years after your post! But I just ordered it and awaiting arrival and then read your review. How do you show your hands completely empty after the vanish. Do you have a magnet in the back pocket that you lightly tap onto before showing your hand? Or are you just doing a finger curl of sorts showing your hands to hide the coin thats on the silent assistant. Really curious to hear your answers. Cheers for now
