The Sterling LT effect comes with a wallet. I've not seen talk about it or any routines that take advantage of the fact that one side is different than the other. Not sure what I can post here vs. the private forums, but does anyone have ideas of how to make use of the "clear" panel side where the coins go? I was thinking of a coin transposition or disappearance. Obvious choices might be things you would do with a himber wallet, but also perhaps since there is a M****T involved, you could slide out two things that look as one or leave something behind.

Some of these 'wallets' come with a double layer of black material under the clear pocket, making for 1 regular pocket and 1 "black art" pocket behind that which can be used to store or ditch cards. Lots of possibilities.

BTW, for those who don't know, Lethal Tender was created by Steve Dusheck and originally sold by him. I have no idea if Sterling bought the rights from Steve, but I don't see his name on the ad. If you want a glimpse into that creative mind, buy the CD-ROM he created describing some of his famous effects, many of which you can make up yourself. If you're really nice to Steve, and he likes you, he might allow you to buy other tricks from him. Just Google Steve Dusheck to find his web site.

I saw this trick at my local brick and mortar but didn't like it because the shim was a small phoney looking thing. I found one on Ebay that had a Bicycle back as the shim, so I bought it. I will have to wait until it comes to see the quality of it

TCB, it sounds like the one you saw at your store used the original cards of choice. Steve Dusheck originally used cards that were red or green with white wisps (if that makes sense) on them - is this what you saw? I'm not sure how they can be seen as phoney, personally, as it is just a playing card. Steve seems to have preferred that card to Bike backs, or others, and has often stated that there is "a reason for everything" he does.

BTW, to answer an earlier poster's question, Sterling Magic is the only authorized maker of "Lethal Tender". Also, some copy the trick using a shell, which is a departure (not a good one) from the original.

Yeah, the original version came with Kling brand cards like these (image):



You can still buy them today.

That looks like the one I saw at the store. Is that miniature or regular sized? The one I saw had the green back like that , but miniature.

The trick comes with regular sized cards.

They're not "miniature", but I believe they are "bridge size" which is smaller than "poker size" which is more common these days.

Maybe was different set then. the one I saw was a mini card
