I am very pleased with this wallet for its ability to quickly perform a very user-friendly, quick
card to wallet.
However, the craftsmanship of the gimmick is less than amazing. I should
never see scotch tape or duct tape on any gimmick I purchase (not the wallet itself). Also, to keep
a section of the wallet closed unless intentionally opened there are exposed strip magnets that are
sewn to the face of the wallet. This is unsightly, and this is a surface that will be seen by the
spectator if you choose to use this section of the wallet as part of a performance (for certain
routines).
The deck portion of the gimmick requires some concealment. Poor craftsmanship
makes mine a bit uneven, making it difficult to completely square the deck. If the deck was sitting
flat on the table, it woudn't look completely normal.
Again, the wallet is great and
works very well, I just expected each of the added gimmicks to be "built in" rather than "added on."
I looks like they found a suitable wallet and just "transformed it" into what they needed.
I wish I knew that the bill section of the wallet was partitioned off so that bills cannot
remain unfolded in the bill compartment.

Just when I thought things couldn't get any better... well they did!!! Being the owner of the
original F1 wallet, I chose to upgrade for the mentalism features that this wallet offers ONLY to
find that this wallet offers MUCH, MUCH more than just those added features. I was forced to switch
over to my JOL no palm wallet due to it's overall functionality being better as well as it being
more versatile than the original F1 wallet in many if not all situations. I will say, however, that
the gimmick used in the original has been improved upon greatly in the NITRO, and the quality of the
wallet itself has also been improved with a higher grade of leather (although the higher grade of
leather used in the NITRO is better than the original F1 wallet, it's still not as high as the grade
of leather used in any of the JOL wallet products). The NITRO also incorporates many new functions
that the original F1 did not have; hence I highly recommend this product. (Sorry, I can't go into
details about the additional features, but just know that these new additions make this wallet
superior to the original). A BIG NOTE THAT I NEED TO MAKE CLEAR... the original gimmick just made
the wallet fast, the new improved gimmick in the NITRO wallet makes it not only faster, but it now
contains more pros than cons that I'm willing to use the entire gimmick in my act! Accurate and a
joy to use, I am now worry free of the gimmick doing the job wrong. I also don't have to worry about
the card being dislodged! For those wondering if it's just the speed, NO it's clearly (as stated
above) not just that! The DVD also includes many added routines as well as handlings and I find that
these new additions make this wallet superior. I especially like the 3 cards at random prediction
taught on the DVD. To keep this review as short as possible, if you're looking for a practical
miracle that you WILL USE ALL THE TIME just buy this product! You will not regret it as both the
product, gimmicks, and DVD are exceptional! Whether your spectator is signing a card or you're
predicting what they will pick from the deck (in other words, whether you're giving cards away or
keeping them all), there's a routine in here that you'll use! MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! XD

Hi, I own many card to wallet wallets and this is my favorite one to date. I do own the following:
Mesika, infinity, Jol billfold, jol ez wallet small, real mans wallet, mark masons mirage , hip
pocket mullica and this list goes own. I am on a quest to find the perfect card to wallet , I hate
fumbling around with unnatural moves. I will first say that this is the fastest card to wallet, the
craftsmanship is excellent I still consider the jol line to have the nicest leather but this is very
good quality and has other cool features that are great for mentalists. I am sure this is not my
last wallet purchase but it is my favorite, and is great for beginners. Watch the DVD and give this
the practice that is due.
Ps: the other wallets that I own are unique in their own way and
most are very good but this is my favorite, also look into the infinity wallet as it is a different
wallet but great as well.

First, it's a high quality wallet. As far as I know, it has all the mentalism features of the
Stealth Assassin wallet, and then some, so it's very versatile. The card loading gimmick is super
fast, easy and almost unnoticeable so it's probably the best wallet for card to wallet tricks, of
which there are many various routines on the DVD. I probably have 3 or 4 favorite routines that I
use out of the 10+ taught on the DVD. In some cases you'd have to set the deck up a bit, and you
generally can't use the same deck for the Phantom as you would for the standard routine or others,
FYI. My one issue with the DVD is that he goes into very little detail about routines you can do
with the mentalism features. But if you watch routines from other mentalist wallets, you can
probably figure them out as you know the wallet's features. Also it would've been nice to have more
billet indexes and slots, and I'll probably still use my money clip to hold my cash and credit
cards. If I jam all that with all my tricks into this wallet, it would get WAYYY too fat. But
overall, excellent product, and this wallet would be very hard to improve upon.

I'm a wallet fanatic and I must say, this is the best and fastest no palm wallet that's ever been
released. You can load a card invisibly in a split second into your wallet.
Buy it,you'll love
it!
For a palm wallet my favorite is the: "New Large Plus Wallet" by Jerry O'Donnell

I am a complete beginner in magic with few sleight of hand skills and am slow to learn them. I am
so grateful for the F1 NITRO: it's simple concepts are brillianty executed. It can make even a low
to no skilled novice, like me, a draw-jopping performer. The DVD teaching is great and fun and the
wallet is pretty nice. Although I said the concepts that make it work are "simple" that doesn't
mean that they were simple to think of, just easy to understand once you see them.
Any questions
a spectator may have as to why you might briefly hold the wallet in a "taught position" are erased
when you unzip the zipper and out comes their card.
The reason I gave 4 stars though, and not
5, is that the lighting on the DVD is a bit dark and you can't clearly see the features of the
wallet being pointed to so I had to kind of guess my way through some things. Also, I wish the
wallet was just a bit more...ummm...wallet-y :) meaning that I wish the leather was just a bit
higer grade, although it IS a nice wallet.
Perfomance of the Wallet: 5 stars
Reaction
of Audience: 5 stars
Wallet Quality: 3.8 stars
DVD teacher and teaching: 5
stars
DVD lighting: 3.5 stars
All in all, a great great buy!
