Magic Tricks

Confessions of a Wallet Junkie: This is a one-trick pony wallet to do Stephen Tucker's classic effect Visa Cabaret--or "in which pockets did you put three credit cards." (That may be a little misstatement. I suppose you could also use it to know which of three different cards was chosen, but that would be a trivial use of this great gimmick.) Now I admit, you don't need this particular wallet to perform the effect. A Mark Strivings SUC or a wallet containing SUC, such as the Stealth Assassin Wallet or hWallet, among others, will work. Or, once you know the workings, you can make your own. (Marc Paul demonstrated this on his brilliant, but sadly now out-of-print, Mind2Mind DVD.) Heinz's stuff is beautifully made so this wallet looks great. And since it was designed solely to do this trick, I think that it works a wee bit better than using the Strivings method.

So if you have a SAW, for example, you don't really need this. But it is so cool! And Visa Cabaret is a killer. It's terrific mentalism that will just puzzle lay people. I was really happy to add this one to my huge, ever-expanding wallet collection. Now I just need to find a 12-step program for my addiction.
