I'll will reveal what the gimmick is and some things to know, which I had to figure out on my own.
1. It's an electronic gimmick about 2 1/4" (57 mm) long and about 1/2 " (13.5 mm) wide. So, it's quite small. I'm revealing this because there's no way you could make one yourself and would have to purchase it either way.
2. The gimmick can be easily concealed in a number of ways. It bluetooths with your smart phone and controls the answer and hang up function. There's a small mic in the gimmick so when you talk near the gimmick, it seems you're really speaking into your phone. The gimmick does not have a speaker, though it's not necessary since the person you're interacting with is close by and you can hear what they're saying. I figure omitting a speaker helped keep the cost down. To be honest, and in my opinion, it's a cool electronic item for just $39 dollars. It bluetoothed easily with my phone.
3. The instruction video is pretty bad. Most of the time it's muted and you see Kelvin Chad's mouth talking away without any clue what all he's saying, every once in a while one sentence will pop up at the bottom summarizing all he was saying, which was kind of ridiculous. He's definitely saying more than just that. That's where the frustration came from. It could have been much better authored. The only thing that's mentioned about the button on the gimmick is using it to turn on the unit, call and answer. I had to discover on my own that on that gimmick, the same side as the button, you can press towards either end and adjust your mic volume. Also, to turn off the unit, hold down the power button for a few seconds, I discovered by experimenting as it's not mentioned in the video. Kelvin does show some other routines for the gimmick, one quite funny, using his shoe as a cell phone.
Except for the less than satisfactory tutorial video, the unit seems well made and is definitely clever. For $39 dollars, it's a good buy and will be fun to play with.
