Antonio Romero - Hold Out

Easily master the magic of the HOLD OUT thanks to a revolutionary system that changes a powerful tool into something new and exciting. The ARHO (Antonio Romero Hold Out) is a powerful weapon that allows you to perform productions, vanishes and loads in a simple and surprising way, allowing you to show your hands empty before and after the effect.

Thanks to its special design, it really easy and comfortable to use. You can activate and deactivate it in an instant, at any moment during your performance. Detailed and thorough instruction included in a two hour video.

The ARHO incorporates a system that eliminates the need of hooking to the wrist, enabling you to fix it on your arm. This feature makes it truly practical and comfortable, with the potential to become an essential element in your magical performances. The new adjustment system makes this a simple task.

The Hold Out was originated by card hustlers to add or subtract cards in a game. Jack Miller developed the concept further and devised a system using a counterweight and a clip that allowed him to do miraculous vanishes and productions.

* The classic Hold Out, however, has its drawbacks. The arms are cramped and their movement is limited. The handling requires keeping the arms close to the body and making excessively broad movements, therefore limiting its functions.

* After years of study, hard work and countless tests, Antonio Romero has created ARHO, that eliminates all the restrictions the classic Hold Out had and simplifies its handling.
