Maybe if you propped the pocket(s) open but … as with scottevest items it’s not ideal for magic.

There is production value here.
And I’m not talking about a gun.

The 18,854 people killed and the 36,338 people injured in shootings in the USA in 2023 should be grateful for this. Especially the innocent 943 children under the age of 11 and the 5,256 young people who were killed or injured.

I think the company selling the product is despicable, but if the product is not used for its intended purpose it might have some value for magicians, who have long forgotten the value of a vest for magic.

Dr. Solka -- I daresay that no one who was reading this thread was hoping someone would bring up gun control, from either the pro or con side. Especially not by way of sarcasm.

Yes, we should steer clear of any further comments on that topic.

I agree with you about the sarcasm. That's why I didn't use sarcasm. My feelings were with the shooting victims and sardonic. It's one of those European things. Furthermore, I will comply with Mr. Kaufman's request.
