First, I just want to clarify that I own almost every magic wallet on the market. From the BKM to
the stealth assassin. From the Infinity to the Espionage. And I have to say that the Hwallet is the
wallet I've been looking for. This wallet ticks every box possible and does it well. I'm not going
to get into the tricks on the dvd because they were ok and just some examples of effects that you
can do with this beautiful prop. What I want to talk about is the wallet itself and why I love it.
The Leather:
This leather is nice and stiff which is exactly what you want for a
swiss army wallet. It is extremely well made and should last you a very long time, like years and
years.
The Peeks:
The internal peek works just like the Espionage peek which is
brilliant. Now on the exact same side which you can enter for this peek you can also use the SUC
peek which was my favorite feature of the stealth assassin. It's a different entry point, but both
peeks are on the same side, meaning if you have the wallet open this particular way, you can use
either peek right at that moment which is awesome.
The Card to Wallet:
The
palm card to wallet works exactly like a JOL wallet which was my favorite feature of the JOL. It's
very easy to access, and it's an instant reset. The reveal also comes out of a zipper compartment
which is also on the same side of your peeks. Now you can't do a card to sealed envelope, but IMO
that's not a big deal.
Now the no palm method I liked but I modified the handling. The
loading of the no palm method I love, and once the card is loaded, you can literally drop the wallet
on the table without fear of the card being seen so it looks very clean. However, the handling on
the dvd I didn't like for revealing the card. So I decided to skip that handling, and simply used
the SUC feature in reverse and it worked GREAT. This gives you 4 features on one side of the wallet
alone. This feature is also used for loading cards as well.
Imagine having Skinners 3
card monte hidden in this feature ready to be loaded onto the deck. You bring out your wallet,
secretly load the cards onto the deck, claim your going to make a wager or an example of one in a 3
card monte game, and just like that you've secretly loaded the Skinner monte ready to blow some
minds.
Out To Lunch:
This feature is on the second side of the wallet. It's
pretty much the only feature on this side. I won't go into what an OTL is, but let's just say this
one feature alone has tons of uses, so the fact that it's in here is outstanding.
The
Shogun:
This is a nice switching feature that also has a lot of uses just like the out to
lunch. On one side you've got your internal peek and on that same side you've got 6 mini pockets
for multiple outs which is nice. The opposite side is completely normal but is used for either
carrying your cash or for whatever you're going to switch.
The Conclusion:
So
what you're buying here is 2 great peeks, 2 methods for card to wallet, a switching device, an out
to lunch, a way to get gimmicked cards into a deck and stolen from a deck, and multiple outs. All
very easily accessible and all you can do at a moments notice. Now that is ALOT you can do at a
moments notice with one wallet. This is designed to be your everyday wallet, so since you always
have your wallet with you, you are always ready to go. This is literally EVERYTHING that a working
pro wants to have in one wallet. I can literally set this wallet on the table, then go into an out
to lunch routine, then go into a peek for a mentalism routine.
Then from there go into an
ACR routine with a no palm card to wallet kicker, then go into extreme burn and switch the bills out
afterwards, then go into a KK routine, etc. You literally have an entire close-up act in your
pocket. You can do both magic and mentalism at a moments notice. I know it's expensive but for
what this wallet can do at a spur of the moment is just outstanding and worth every penny of the
price. A true 10/10.
