Hey, I'd like to be able to fit two separate packet routines into a small wallet. However here's the thing though, each of those packets will need to switched out for ungaffed versions, so basically I need something with four sections that looks like it only has two. Is there a name for the sort of wallet I'm looking for? It doesn't have to be used for a real wallet or anything. If it has extra features, I wouldn't complain, but what I really need it for is to handle two different packet tricks, each of which can have ungaffed cards swapped in. I don't mind if it means I have to load the gaffed cards, set the wallet aside, and then pick it up again later to remove the ungaffed versions, I can live with that shortcoming.

Thanks Josh, I must have been misinformed when I asked about this elsewhere. The Himber Wallet can really handle four packets (two sets of two)?

The Himber wallet I have can be used to switch items. You open it one way, and you can have a packet trick on the left side and another on the right. You can use it to switch those out for ungimmicked cards.

Of course styles will vary on these, some will be more elaborate and look like a real one, some will be more simple, like the one I described.

Shop around and find the one that works for you.

Thanks for clearing that up, I appreciate it. I'm at a bit of a disadvantage in that I'm in Asia right now. Most of the stuff I'm browsing online is unclear as to whether or not it can handle what I'd like. Can you make a recommendation of a product?

The only one I have is a vinyl one that I picked up at my local shop for a $1 when they were clearing out the back, don't remember who makes it.
Bob Cassidy has a nice one that appears to be leather, I'm not sure who makes it though. Someone else here might be able to recommend one.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Erlandish,

You need a bigger himber wallet. There are some recommendations here, just use the search function. The price varies strongly, depending on the quality of the wallet. Jerry O'connel has great products, but they are not the cheapest ones around - again, guality has its price.

You might also want to check out Michael Ammar's Showcase wallet, which matches perfectly to your description. It's on his personal website I think.

You could try making up a Kismet* Envelope out of a large manila coin envelope and keep all the cards in it.

With it you could keep Packet Trick A in the envelope separate from Packet Trick B. You could then also have the ungaffed duplicates of both Packet Trick A and Packet Trick B in the envelope as well (although these regular cards would have to be in a packet together – for example, if Packet Trick A contained 3 cards and Packet Trick B contained 4 cards, the ungaffed cards would be in an area containing 7 cards.) But due to the construction of this envelope you can instantly and effortlessly remove any of the packets you desire and possibly casually flash the envelope as empty (depending on how many cards you are using).

*Kismet Envelope credited to Norman Houghton and explained in Ted Lesley's Paramiracles or PM me if you are not familiar with one.
