I know there are many card to wallets on the market like the O'connels, F1 Nitro, ect. However, if you are looking for a Card to wallet that you can do multiple ways and do it for cheaper then any card to wallet on the market, then this is the wallet you want. The leather quality is not as good as an o'connel, but it's still nicely made and something you'll be proud to show the audience.

It's got a nice window for your license, your cash will lay flat on the opposite side, it's also got plenty of slits for your credit cards/business cards, and an extra zippered pocket that you can put your gimmicked coins in if you wish. Not to mention the zipper for the card to wallet is very nicely made, and does it's job like a dream. Now this wallet does 2 Card to wallets: Palm and No Palm:

The Palm Card to wallet:

This function of the wallet is fantastic. I absolutely love it. The device used to make it work is very well concealed and you can easily set it up while the wallet is in your left hand inside jacket pocket. It is a Kaps style loader that is very well made, and makes loading the card a breeze. From loading the card in the wallet, to pulling the wallet out to give to the spectator, takes about 4 seconds. There is no fumbling, and you know instantly that the card is in the wallet because of the wonderful Kaps loader. I can't recommend this method highly enough.

The No-Palm Card to wallet:

The BKM comes with a little mini Mullica wallet. This wallet is made of very nice leather, and because of it's design allows you to load the Card Mullica style, yet be able to let go of the wallet completely and set it on the table without fear of the audience seeing anything. And it allows you to pick the wallet up off the table the same way. It is very convincing. There are 2 cons with this wallet though. The first one is that it doesn't have a zipper. I like the use of a zipper to reveal the card inside, it just adds that extra layer of impossibility.

The second con is that when you pull the card out, if you aren't careful, you can expose the secret very easily, and that I don't like. What I ended up doing myself was use my old hip pocket Mullica mini wallet and used it instead of the BKM's version. That mini wallet won't expose the secret when you take the Card out, and it has a zipper to do the reveal which I love.

Using that, the BKM is now the perfect card to wallet. I am able to go into a palm card to wallet when ever I want as the reset takes 2-3 seconds, or I can pull out the wallet from the beginning and do the Mullica wallet impossibility at the end with no palming what so ever. Now does this wallet do Card to sealed envelope? No, but honestly who cares?

This effect is just as strong to the audience, and you don't have to buy extra Bonsolopes to achieve arguably the same reaction as the Plus Wallet. I own a Plus Wallet as well, and I do love it, but I find myself going back to the BKM when I'm doing restaurant work or any close up sets. Plus the price for the BKM is a flat out bargain, and is half the price of a Plus Wallet. I know the Plus Wallet gives you more then the BKM, thus the higher price, but if all you want to do is a card to wallet, then this is a no-brainer decision.

I highly recommend this product to anyone that wants to do a Card to wallet only, because this wallet will do just that and do it well.
