Magic Tricks

Full disclosure, I bought this wallet using store credit. I know that one's opinion probably changes when you get something basically for free instead of spending a decent amount of money on a magic product.

I have to say that this wallet is now my everyday wallet. This is without a doubt one of the best magic products I've ever bought. If you enjoyed the razor wallet and wanted more pockets as well as an "any card named" prediction then this is the perfect wallet for you. The peek is identical to the razor wallet which is good. All you need to do is insure that the peeked word is written legibly and you should have no problem getting a good peek. It also comes with the protective screen like the one used in the razor wallet to make the peek even more covered.

The best part of this wallet is by far the card prediction. The cards are ultra-thin so it doesn't make the wallet bulky. I often forget that the cards are in there. You just need to do a little memory work to make sure you locate the needed card quickly to make it look like you're not searching for a card. It is magician's choice, but the way it's done is so smooth. This may be hard to explain but I will try. The wallet contains every picture card, red and black. This means that when you first equivocate number cards or picture cards, you can then use that same wording for every choice after. For example, if someone "picks up" the picture cards you can then "throw away" the number cards. Now that you have every out available in the wallet you can then use that same wording to narrow down the card. This makes it seem like a much freer choice. You don't have to alter your wording every time.

There are 2 things that are important, in my opinion, to be aware of.

1.) The peek is best used for blank playing cards. You can use business cards, but it can be tricky retrieving the business card if you stick it all the way in the wallet. The wallet is just wider that a business card. I just bought some blank playing cards online and that does the trick. If you'd rather use business cards it would be a good idea to have the spectator write the information on the very bottom on the business card using a x__________ line so you can leave the edge of the business card sticking out of the wallet. This will make things much easier when you take out the card.

2.) The new wallet will leave some black marks on business cards. This is most likely due to the dye in the wallet. This was a simple fix. I just saw where in the wallet there was dye and wiped it down a bit with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. This rubbed away some of the harsher dye that was coming off onto my blank playing cards. This does cause that part of the wallet to fade, but the part of the wallet I was "cleaning" was in a pocket so the faded leather wouldn't be seen.

3.) The cards cannot be handed out for examination. This shouldn't come as a surprise to mentalist who watch the trailer, especially when they see how the card is being held.

All in all, this wallet is amazing. Dee Christopher and Levis Le'Val are geniuses and the tutorial video they give you is extremely thorough.
