Pocket is a utlity system which allows you to change a card, visually, in your pocket. I was excited about this as soon as I saw the trailer because at school we wear blazers with those types of pockets on the front. I knew this would be right up my alley.
The method itself is not electronic (I thought it would be an electronic utlity that basically snap changed two cards in your pockets, but I was very wrong) and is set up in your jacket. You cannot move the gimmick between jackets easily and it pretty much has to stay set up in your jacket forever unless you want to put it in another jacket, which takes about 15 minutes.
You receive everything you need in the DVD except a needle and the jacket itself. The supplies you receive are of a good quality and should last a long time. You also receive the necessary cards (blank cards, etc.)
The DVD is very well shot and is hosted by Chris. Many people don't like him but I personally find him rather amusing. He teaches how to make the gimmick in detail and explains the routine that accompanies the gimmick. You are also given a few ideas to get you started with the gimmick,
The system itself is clever and out of the box. It isn't the most practical thing in the world as you do have to reset the deck and your jacket before performing again. Also the gimmick could get in the way of everyday activities.
Overall, if you liked what you saw on the trailer, that's what you get. However, this does limit you as you can't put other things in your top or inside pocket due to the nature of the gimmick, which could seriously affect pocket management. However it is still a very clever set up and is actually quite fun to practice with. A strong visual piece of magic which if you like what you saw on the demo, which will probably go straight into your act! 7/10
