Another very good version, the one I use, is by Cody Fisher. It is well thought out, although I have modified some of it.
It can be found on his DVD Cody Fisher on Magic. Best, David |

@ DStachowiak:
I have a kaps wallet as well, it's the firewallet model, that looks like a regular sized wallet. I took out the fire principle. I've used this wallet numerous times for card to wallet or as an ending to the ambitious card. The problem with my wallet is that the l****r falls in the wallet prematurly sometimes. that's why I keep the l****r at an angle in the wallet. It's a bit harder to load, and very, very, very occasionaly I miss. Now with the CTW that I do or the AC ending you can easily produce the card out of your pocket, the audience didn't knew what was coming, so it's no big deal. With the dreamcard, obviously, you can't afford to miss. I've been playing with my kaps wallet for the dreamcard and it goes well, but I would hate it if I miss in performance with this effect. Do you have the same problems with your wallet? Í remember I've seen versions that have a thicker l****r which don't slides down on it's own. May I ask which version you have? Is it the big kaps wallet or the small model? Can you give a reference where you bought it? Thanks! @ David French: Can you tell a little bit more about this routine? I'm very interested! Thanks!

There is an interesting take on Ortiz's Dream Card in Mike Powers' book Top Secret Stuff. The trick in Powers' book is entitles Nightmare Card. I really like his version and the book has just recently come back in print.

The loading chamber is meant to look like an extra layer of leather on the back of the wallet. I've never had anyone comment on that during everyday usage--HOWEVER, in the context of a magic trick, I'm not sure if they may feel that extra leather layer and think of it as something significant. I've never tried letting anyone handle my wallet. |

Anyone who's interested in a brilliant but little known idea (not mine) for loading a pal*** card into a breast pocket wallet can PM me and I'll share.

The best card to wallet I've seen (of course this is just my opinion) is Airmail Card by James Swain. He does a nice routine with a signed card then talks about a trick his friend sent him. He gets his wallet and pulls a card out that has his address on the back as well as a stamp and he says it was mailed to him. Of course it's the signed selection. Since the spectator doesn't see the back of the card you could use any card you wanted for the airmail card.

There is no fire feature. I used to have a fire wallet with a Kaps style load, possibly the same type you have. As I recall the gaff was very thin plastic, and I can imagine it doing just what you describe. I don't know who makes the one I have now, but it wasn't expensive and it's actually pretty good. I'll try and take a picture of it later so you can see what it's like. I bought it at Barry's Magic Shop, here's his web site: http://barrysmagicshop.com/ He is in the process of rebuilding his web site so the search doesn't bring up very much, but Barry's a great guy, if you email him and tell him what you are looking for, He'll probably be able to help you out. OK, The Dream Card: The performer removes a red-backed card from his wallet. Without showing its face, he explains the card represents a prediction. This card is then replaced in the wallet. A spectator freely and very fairly selects any card from a blue deck and signs it on the face. The card is lost back in the deck. The performer now removes the red-backed prediction card from his wallet and shows that it not only matches the blue-backed card the spectator selected, it is actually the same card since it bears the spectators signature on its face. It's in Darwin's book "At the Card Table" and also on his DVD of the same name. Don

The Mullica has an "Inner wallet", sort of a checkbook looking thing, that stays safely inside until the moment you actually need it. Not being familiar with the Triple Threat, I can't really say how likely it is to arouse suspicion. Don
