![]() ![]() It is obvious, as stated from time to time here in the Café, that once mastered this is among the strongest magic there can be. You need to be able to perform a farow shuffle which isn't the easiest of all shuffles, but a mediocre one will do. The dard card: you can order a little prop called dark card with this. This brings overall rating down to a 8.5 on a 10 scale. The material I am talking about is used in many wallets and makes up the lining in billfold-compartments. In spite of this flaw the wallet operates but it also becomes clear where maintenance will be due at some point. Also part of the plastic window came off the leather, it took me 2 minutes to fix that with a glue stick. Suffice to say, it should be very easy to fix this problem, once it gets worse, by glueing in black construction paper to replace the silky stuff. ![]() I must say that I did buy my wallet from a Café-member and like so I am not sure if this one is an exception or if there is a chance of getting these on a regular basis. Partly because the cut was done in a sloppy fashion, partly because that's what this material will do (when cut, in a sloppy fashion or not). Weakness: in the part of the wallet where the dirty work happens there is some material that someone used a razor blade on, this material is now coming undone already (wallet is brand-new). But it does take card to wallet to the next level. An advanced (or intermediate) card-move is needed for this routine and some misdirection, but it's not palming. Ok, after this little joke you put the gag card back in the wallet and close the wallet, after a bit of by-play this gag card has now VANISHED from the see-through compartment and the real selection is in the zippered compartment. The wallet just sits there on the table the entire time (if you wish).Īlso consider the following routine: you put the card in wallet and present it to the spec like before, but this time it's a gag card, saying "your card" on white bicycle stock (I bet your card is in the wallet) when revealed. The fact that there are no arkward movements at all more than compensates for this. It has been argued that the fact that one places a card inside right in front under their nose makes this suspicious or somewhat less desirable, but this is a purist's opinion that does not have any revelance in the real world (IMHO). And that half hour is more or less spent getting familiar with the handling and the wallet in general, there are no slights to learn. There is no palming and it would be safe to say that somebody who has never performed magic could perform this within half an hour. When he takes it back out it turns out it's the wrong card but instead the signed selection is now in a zippered compartment.Īt no time does the deck come close to the deck. He places card in a see-thru plastic compartment. Performer claims he is so sure he found the card he is ready to bet money on it. The card to wallet routine: the card is found in the deck and placed inside wallet. It really has 8 outs, but with Heirloom (needs 16) you can improvise and make it work. It can also be used to perform Heirloom or KK. This wallet can also serve as a peek wallet and to switch objects. Of course you can arrange this just before you perform. Again, you can fit in two but they should be identical for the effect to work. I threw my old wallet in the trash yesterday. Unless you wish to arrange several credit cards next to or on top of each other, you can use this as your every day wallet. Under one of them there is space to store additonal credit cards, block buster cards, whatever. It also has two see-through drivers license compartments. It has a bifold billfold-compartment and two credit card slots. It looks elegant but simple and will pass as a reglular wallet (in the eyes of the specs) with no problems whatsoever. Leather is a little stiff and surface is a bit rough, nothing soft and glossy, which I consider to be another pro, since it won't be easy to get it worn and torn in no time with scratches and fingerprints all over it. It comes in black leather and is very flat. However, I am familiar with the methods most card to wallet effects use.įirst, let me describe the wallet. ![]() Let me first add that I don't own many wallets, so I am not necessarily comparing this one to other wallets on the market. A few weeks ago I was desperately looking for a review on the pimpernel notecase by Peter Scarlet, today I will write one myself.
