Chris Funk's Executive Clip 2.0 is essentially a fancy bulldog clip that knows a magic trick or two. It swaps out a visible prediction without anyone catching on. The new version is a bit more reliable and discreet, which is nice when you're trying not to look like you're up to something. Took me a few tries to not make it obvious I was fiddling with it, but once you nail it, it's pretty smooth.

This isn't just for magicians pulling off card-to-impossible-location tricks. Mentalists can have a field day revealing predictions or serial numbers, too. You can show it off open before sneaking anything inside, which is a leg up from a lot of other clips out there. It holds a billet, a folded playing card, or a bill at the ready, and when you open it, the contents switch with what you've prepped, like magic but without needing a cape.

Some folks are saying it's the best on the market, which might be true. It's like having a multi-tool for your predictions, though maybe not the kind you'd use to hang a picture frame. Pros everywhere trust this little gadget, and the 2.0 version is even more user-friendly. The biggest downside? You might start using it for everything because it's just that handy.
