Does anyone know where you can buy some of those cheap plastic wallets that come with some packet tricks?
They are great for protecting your cards.
Thanks for any help.

I use to get them from DAYTONA MAGIC SHOP. You know you can make them out of duct tape.

I am not sure if this is something you can use echojet, but I use these to store my packet tricks. I love them because I can write on the outside of the envelopes, such as the name of the trick.  Hope this is helpful.

I was looking around for you and found this, not sure if this is what you're wanting but have a looksey?

Some mom and pop drugstores sell these little wallets for people carrying credit cards etc. I've bought several in the past from a local mom and pop. However, if you're not near such a store, Gary's link directly above sells them for a little over a buck on ebay. Can't hardly beat it. Lynn

If you live where there is a big Mall you can probably find them in any big luggage store.

Thank you so much for all of your suggestions and help.
I did find a magic supplier in SC that sells a dozen for around six dollars.
Thanks again

Echo, is that SC as in South Carolina? Whereabouts? I'm just wondering if it's near where I live.

Baseball card sleeves can also be used to store and protect playing cards. You can write on them to identify the contents.
Here's the first thing that came up from a google search: http://www.bagsunlimited.com/c-540-single-card-sleeves.aspx
They're a lot cheaper than those card wallets that tricks come in.
Hope this was helpful.

Yep, Columbia. I was hoping for a magic shop near me, but no deal. Bummer. If they have a walk-in store, maybe I can go there when I visit my cousin in Blythewood.
Funny thing: That site's Personal Product Predictor ("guaranteed by our web geek to be something you may need") tells me I probably need a substitution trunk and a pirate wig. 
(Sounds like something from the cartoon "Pinky and the Brain." "Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Pinky?" "I think so, Brain -- but where are we gonna get a substitution trunk and a pirate wig?")

Check out any baseball card and/or sports memorabilia shop. They carry nice plastic packs that are perfect for holding playing cards. Some carry only a few cards, some carry more for multiple packet tricks if you want. They're a bargain.
What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about? 
My neighbor rang my doorbell at 2:30 a.m. this morning, can you believe that, 2:30 a.m.!? Lucky for him I was still up playing my drums.

Do you also plan to use these plastic sleeves while performing?
Personally I think it looks really cheap...

You gents might want to check out the following thread posted in the "workers" forum. It's about where to find a hardshell wallet similar to the one John Bannon carries his packet tricks in as seen in his "Bullet Party" DVD's.
http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=411932&forum=2&33
The larger dimension hard shell wallets have 7 pockets that will hold about 5 or 6 cards in each. It's a great solution for carrying multiple packet tricks plus extra gaffed cards. Your cards are protected from being bent, it's semi-water proof, and will out last dozens of the vinyl wallets.
