You can only get them from Tony or myself.

Ordered and looking forward to it.

I'm still loving mine and carry it every day.

This sounds fantastic. If it is like any of Tonys other wallets, it will be functional, and fantastic.

Would it be possible to get its dimension?

I'm using and carrying his Triple Threat everyday. And I still love it. But with the second wallet inside The Badger will give more punch to the CTW routine.

I'm looking for a nice and decent-size wallet. So anything that is slightly bigger than Triple Threat is still okay for me.

Thanks.

Is this a new release by Tony and Nathan, or is it a re-working of an older design?

Love the size of this. For me, the older one was like a small suitcase and never matched my style. Can't Waite to receive this.

Darren

Ok... The dimensions are as follows...

3.5 x 5.5 inches What that is in kilo's and and bushells I am not sure.

It has 5 credit card slots that already fit credit cards, no need to stretch them. Both the Mullica insert and the LePaul have reinforced zipper stitching so that should be fine. I found a neat leather with a finish that allows a really cool steal, almost self working.

All in all, It will satisfy both palming and non palming aficionados.

I think you all should enjoy it!

Looks great! Just ordered from Tony last night. I'll take the love, thanks!

I received my Badger wallet on Friday and have been having some fun with it ever since. Following are my comments on this ferocious animal of a wallet:

First, the leather that this wallet is made from is absolutely fantastic! I don’t know if what I have is a "leather fetish", but as I mentioned to Tony I walked around all day Friday with this wallet just about stuck to my nose! (Till my lovely wife threatened to take it from me and send it back to Tony... ) OK, enough on that, but really: the leather on this wallet is truly first rate. I have 13 different magic wallets - actually 13 styles since I have more than one of some styles - and the leather of this wallet is by far the nicest. As mentioned in another thread, the Badger's leather has a kind of "tacky" quality to it which can "grab" a card to a certain extent. Not that cards will stick to it, but if you brush or slide the Badger across the top of a deck the top card will slide along with it. This property of the leather can be very beneficial when executing a Mullica load. For those who have Tony's Triple Threat wallet, remember how you load a card to the Mullica insert there and then consider the results of the leather having such a "tacky" texture. As Tony described it to me, it prevents the "ice skating" type movement that can occur when doing this type of load.

The Badger offers two different loading methods: a LePaul-type load, and a Mullica insert load. Those who have used a Mullica wallet - like Tony's Triple Threat wallet - are probably familiar with this kind of load. The Badger takes it a step further and allows for a quicker load IMO. Also, as Nathan shows in one of the explanation videos, you can load other items, thicker than playing cards. Nothing too large but items such as a lighter, small cell phone, etc. I have been loading a medium-size Onosaka coin purse with 4 half-dollars in it via the Badger's Mullica insert.

Personally I am having a lot of fun with the LePaul load! Think of the standard (palm) load used with wallets such as the Real Man's Wallet and Tony's The Modifier. The Badger accomplishes this type of load very quickly and easily. And the card is then produced from a zippered compartment inside the wallet. Smooth! Of course this load can also be used (and often is in LePaul wallets) for loading into a sealed envelope, inside the zippered compartment. (Envelopes not provided, BTW) Since I have a couple other Mullica-style wallets that let me perform loads to the Mullica insert, the LePaul load is what I have been playing with for the past few days, and enjoying myself immensely!

My Badger measures out a tiny bit larger than the dimensions posted above by Nathan: 3-5/8" X 5-5/8". That might seem a little larger than many are accustomed to, but it actually fits the back pocket of my jeans very nicely. To be honest it fits better than most hip pocket wallets because the top of the wallet sits almost flush with the top of the pocket. Many hip pocket wallets sit low in the pocket and you have to stuff a hanky or something into the pocket first in order to keep the loading area of the wallet easily reachable at the pocket's opening. Ever have your wallet slip down too far in your pocket and then look like you have an itch when trying to load it? (No? Oops, must just be me then!) This wallet lines up nicely with the top of my hip pocket to make Palm loads nice and smooth. The top of my Badger sits just about 1/4" higher than the top of my jeans back pocket. I tried it in a pair of dress slacks and of course it sits lower in there; most dress pants/suit pants have deeper pockets than jeans. The Badger will sit higher than most of your other hip pocket magic wallets though. All that being said, I don’t usually keep any of my magic wallets in my back pocket. First, I hate sitting on my regular wallet because it gives me a sore back after a while. And as far as my magic wallets, I don’t like when they become somewhat misshapen from being squashed in my back pocket! You know the look: bottom corners bent in, the entire back side of the wallet - the side that doesn’t face your rear-end - develops a semi-permanent convex bend. I just can't bring myself to subject my precious magic wallets to that constant abuse, so I always keep them in a jacket breast pocket. (NOT a sport jacket or suit jacket, mind you. I rarely am caught in those; I am talking about a light warm-up jacket or very light vest.), or my front pants pocket, or often in the side pocket of cargo pants. But hey, that's me.

All in all, this wallet is a definite keeper for me. I have a lot of wallets that I honestly wish I hadn't purchased, for many varied reasons: They're just ugly; they are almost identical to a wallet I already own; or they just don’t have features I use often. (Two of my wallets are purely for peeks - which I actually never do! Go figure! Must have been in a trance - doggone mentalists!!) But The Badger is one I will most certainly use, and use often. Card-To-Wallet and Card-To-Impossible-Location are effects that always kill. And I need all the killers I can get! I am definitely not a great cardsman, not by a longshot. Don’t get me wrong - I try and I am getting better all the time, but I cut my teeth on coin magic, and I also have a special place in my heart for rope and ring & string magic. I always left the cards alone, mostly because I can be such a klutz with them! But I am becoming more proficient with cards, and making signed cards vanish and then appear in unexpected, impossible places is a favorite effect for me and one of the few card effects that I can do very well. Wallets designed primarily for CTW effects are many (and I probably have most of them!). The Badger is a very well-designed entry into that category of magic wallet and in my opinion it surpasses all of Tony Miller's wallet creations to date. And that is truly an accomplishment!

Thank you.

Jim

I should be receiving mine soon... can't wait
