Step Into the Ring with One of the Most Powerful Utility Items To Date

TKO is a brand new utility device created for the serious magician. Vanish small objects instantly, and produce them effortlessly. Transform an average trick into a clean and extremely deceptive piece of magic. Roll up your sleeves, and step into the ring. This is the TKO by Jeff Kaylor!

Imagine Being Able To...

  • Vanish a coin or virtually any small object you can hold in your hand. Completely gone. Exactly as it would look if you were doing real magic.
  • Have the ability of the Topit, without having to wear a jacket.
  • Begin and end completely clean, with sleeves rolled up!
  • Do incredibly visual transpositions of small objects.
  • Switch coins easily for mentalism effects, such as coin bends.
  • Clean up nearly any close up coin trick that uses gimmicked or extra coins or cards.
  • Do a one handed coin vanish into the spectators palm, with no magnets or pulls.
  • And so, so much more!

There are invariably two responses to new technologies. We see it all the time in consumer electronics. If you're a hacker / experimenter / maker, get it and start playing. If you're a regular consumer, wait for version 2. That's how I feel about this device. In fact, I wish our review system had some way for me to break the start rating up based on user types (hmm... maybe a new feature for the site?).

The idea is pretty brilliant. It's basically a topit-like device that can be used with a short-sleeved, button-down shirt. That's freakin' cool!

The manufacturing and engineering are just fine. You have to keep in mind that until this was on the market, it was probably only used by the creator and whoever he decided to share it with. So we're talking a pretty small set of people "testing" the device.

I think the creator is fully aware of this. He's setup an online forum to discuss new ideas and future developments. That's exactly what will make a product like this evolve into something more mature.

Again, if you're a hacker type like me, you're going to love TKO (assuming you're OK with needles and thread). There are lots of ways to alter the device to fit your needs. For instance, I started off with two problems. First, I have unique buttons on my custom shirts that are larger than normal. This caused a problem with mounting the thing (easily solved). Second, I work with Morgan silver dollars. They're significantly heavier than the standard half dollars the creator is using. I had to make a slight alteration to keep them from falling out of the device unexpectedly.

I really hope this product catches on. It's extremely useful once you get it working. But if you're one of those people who are going to get pissed off if it doesn't work out-of-the-box and with no practice, wait for version 2.

This is truly a very sneaky little magic utility device :-)
Easy to fit and virtually impossible to detect and can be worn at anytime, anywhere. Another good thing is that when it is not being used you won't know it's there either.
You will be a little underwhelmed when you first open the jiffy bag regarding what you get for your money (cheap it's not!) - however, I think it's important to understand you are purchasing the effect and it's capabilities not just the raw materials. Further to this it will last a life time and longer.

The DVD is is not overly long but explains everything you need to know and more. It also comes with a 14 page instruction manual that mirrors the content of the DVD. The TKO website also offers additional support, help and tips which is a refreshing change.
Yes - it will require a reasonable amount of practice, but which good magic doesn't? I am more than pleased with it and will be putting it to good use shortly! A 4 star rating!
