My first wallet was a lovely (and also not-cheap) Miller BKM combo. Really excellent for a lot of
purposes besides card-to-wallet, and it also was used as my daily wallet too.
Alas, I think
that today's casually clad walkaround performer, and especially a hobbyist like me, just isn't able
to make the most of a large wallet that can only be carried in an inside jacket pocket or, say, a
backpack, briefcase, or messenger bag.
This makes the Speed Loader Plus so awesome. It is a
your standard bi-fold hip-pocket wallet in every regard. The gimmick is simple and clever, and
allows things not easily done with a BKM setup. My particular favourite use it producing the card
paperclipped within a banknote. This could be done with a BKM an a little fumbling, I suppose, but
the Speed Loader design makes it effortless. Moreover, the size and understated design of the wallet
does not draw undue attention, whereas the larger BKM seems conspicuous an will be spotted a mile
away by other magicians.
A really good prop for anyone serious about
card-to-impossible-location effects. I suspect that pros will get their money's worth in no time.
Pricey but worth it
