I purchased this directly from Josh at his lecture at Marc DeSouza's last week after watching him
perform this live. This is the only card to wallet I'll be performing and the best of all it's a no
palm card to wallet. It only uses the gimmick provided by Josh and your wallet which most of carry
at all times. If you want to have a mind blowing trick on you at all times so you can perform on the
spot when requested than this is for.

I figured out this trick before I bought it but I thought it would be cool to try. I've performed it
only a couple times and it's worked perfectly. I feel that some hecklers might be able to figure
this one out. the spectators are really grabby in this trick, so make sure you are prepared to make
up some excuses why you can't give them the gimmick!!

The effect is as clean as you would want a signed card to wallet to be. Although I had an initial
problem with the gimmick, Penguin sorted it in no time. Well done Penguin.
One general point -
as a hobbyist performer, instead of signing cards when required by effects (which becomes costly and
wasteful) I tend to use small re-stickable dots which can be signed and then peeled off later.

I like the thought and care Joshua Jay puts into his tricks and this one works great.
The
concept of transporting a signed card from one place to another - while clearly showing your hands
are empty and that you don't have a palmed card in them is definitely worth the price alone.
The gimmick that comes with the trick has a note that comes with it telling the magician not to
worry about an element in it that a magician might notice but as they promise audiences won't and
honestly - thus far they're quite right. I like the gimmick - it makes the trick so self working
that really an amateur with no sleight of hand skills could pull it off.
As the trick
focuses on a magic membership card that you have - I will say I'll agree that the card itself is
printed on very thin card stock and it would be nice to see it a little thicker in the future. But
that is only for presentation - it has nothing really to do with the working of the trick itself.
Being able to "transport" a signed card to your wallet while showing you have nothing
palmed is just fantastic though. And if you don't want to do it to a wallet - you can invent other
places it can go - inside a jacket pocket is really easy too.
The video instruction was
perfectly clear and well done - if you are looking for a truly easy trick that packs a big punch -
don't hesitate to get this!

As much as I enjoy this trick, I am more astounded and grateful to Penguin Magic. I received my
package, and the gimmick was incorrectly aligned. I informed Penguin and inside a week, they
provided a replacement. This was a nice surprise; a magic supplier that stands by their reputation.
I buy more than I need because of this service.

I'm a fan of Joshua Jay's magic and this trick is cleverly designed. I am a little worried about the
reliability of the gimmick that is included though. It seems as though the gimmick will wear down
really easily and really fast. This may not be a deal breaker for some of you, but $30 is a bit much
if you need to replace the gimmick in the future, considering what the gimmick is.
Despite
this, the overall trick, DVD and ability to wow spectators is all there. Josh goes over all the
subtle handlings and really makes it work.
