I love it! I strongly recommend you also get Psypher. Cut the psypher gimmick to the size of a
playing card, insert it into a new deck (remove some cards as necessary), seal the deck and you are
ready for some of the most amazing magic ever! I do a routine where I say "before lie detector
machines, people were trained to be lie detectors. In fact, people make better lie detectors than
machines, it was just too expensive to get them trained. I was fortunate to stumble across an
extensive military training program on lie detection and studied it for 8 months." I have them
write a card prediction without me seeing it, fold it up, and place it in their pocket. I then ask
them a series of questions where they can choose to tell the truth or lie. The only rule is they
need to look me in the eyes. Whether they tell the truth or lie, I get their card every time. Both
the wonder sealer and psypher are definite "must haves".

I bought this device a month ago, and finally had the chance to use it the other night. It does
exactly as it describes, and the instructions are well thought out and explained. I would suggest,
in order to get a nice snug fit, to seal each side of the ends you are sealing first, and then seal
the entire length of the box. I found sometimes the 'slack' on the plastic would loosen up, if I
placed the entire side onto the device, without first sealing the ends.
It comes with
enough plastic to keep you going for a while, but thankful that the refills are available too. This
is one device I will be using for a lot of my tricks. Nothing cleaner than showing a sealed deck
and a 'supposedly' unaltered deck!

I’m 61 going on 83 or so it seems. I find this difficult to get that nice tight fit like the decks
you buy from the store. When you’re all fingers and shaking ones at that they look really bad. I
guess I’m going to have to find some one to do this for me. Well at least I have the “Wonder
Sealer”.
My whole purpose was to protect older decks and new decks that I have purchased that
were not cellophane wrapped.

I just tried my new Wonder Sealer for the first time and it worked perfectly. I purchased some
genuine US Playing Card stickers (black) directly from USPCC and now I have a Bicycle deck that I
gimmicked but it's sealed and looks like a brand new un-opened deck.
It took just a little
bit of fiddling with the wrapper to get it arranged around the deck before touching one half of one
side to the heat pad. Then I moved to the other half, then the two ends. There is an excellent
video tutorial on YouTube that shows you the steps.
My only concern is that the extra
wrappers are out of stock. 35 (that came with the Wonder Sealer) is a good start, but I'll
definitely need more. If extra wrappers aren't eventually available then I'll have a $40 door stop
pretty soon.
Tip: Be sure to wait for the heating pad to heat up for a good 7-8 minutes or
so before using it. I tried to use it after 3-4 minutes and it wasn't hot enough yet.

Great product. I've struggled with other 'cut and glue' options out there, and this was a
game-changer. While the wraps don't have the red strip that says 'bicycle' on them, it's pretty easy
to take one off of the pack you're re-wrapping and use that.
This works really well, makes
tight wraps, and I was honestly surprised how easy it was to use.
4/5 because the plastic
housing seems really flimsy. Other than that, no complaints.

This is perfect for those who want an "unopened" deck that can be used for a variety of effects. I
was able to get a great, tight seal on my very first try. In some cases, the Wonder Sealer created
a tighter fit than decks that come from the factory. Great product, highly recommended!

I purchased Wonder Sealer without any expectations
It was recommended by a freind
It does exactly what it is supposed to do
A little practice and your cards will look
like a brand new sealed deck
I could not ask for anything better other than someone doing
the work for me!

I started buying cards for my son to collect about 8 years ago. Back then he would open them,
shuffle a few times and then put them back. Sadly as time has gone on we realised he shouldn't have
opened them if he was to be a serious collector.
I tried the razor and cutting from the
bottom, but that wasn't pretty so I searched for options to try and reseal some of the packs and
stumbled on the wonder sealer.
As I am currently travelling int he US (I'm from UK) I
ordered one delivered to my hotel. Tried it last night on a pack of Bicycles I carry and wow.
First time lucky. With a bit of care I got the cellophane tight and the pack looked brand new.
Sealed down the side first then the ends. I even sat the pack on its face and back which I think
helped shrink the cellophane to tighten it.
I'm really pleased I will be able to seal up
some of the opened decks to preserve them.

This unit is nice and small, not requiring much workspace. It comes with 30 cellophane wrappers,
sized just right for a poker sized playing card deck. The Red power button is a push-push switch.
There is a small Green 3mm LED for power on indication. The clear plastic lid is very convenient as
it allows you to stow away the unit before it has completely cooled. The case is cheap plastic, but
is protected from the heating plate, which is mounted on a fiberglass circuit board inside the case.
I measured a temp of 200°F plus on the heating surface after 7 minutes.
Positioning the
cellophane on the playing card deck is tricky, requiring a fair amount of dexterity and careful
thought. This particular aspect of wrapping is a feature of the manual cellophane sealing process.
Sealing can be simplified by buying a Cellophane Head Tool on AliExpress. This handy tool is a
metal piece on the end of a small wooden handle, giving it the look of a Chess piece.
Always seal the side first prior to sealing the top and bottom. Be certain your tear strip is
at the top of the case before you start sealing. If you briefly (1-2 seconds) heat the face and back
of the wrapped deck it will keep it from slipping when you begin sealing the top and bottom. Be
certain you have the partially sealed deck centered first.
