I love my Theatre Magic Fire Wallet 2.0. Granted this is my first fire wallet but it's well made compare to the other fire wallets I've seen at local magic shops. I've been using in and out of gigs for about 6 months. It lights 99.9% of the time but there is a strong butane smell after I extenguish the flame. So far I still receive great reactions and nobody has complained....as far as I know about the smell.

Oh and I have gone on one fill up for 3 hours. Lighting it about every 10-15 minutes.

I have never owned a fire wallet before but have always wanted too. I know there are many on the market. So is it safe to say that everyone would recommend this fire wallet for my first fire wallet?

But, yes, glad you're finding some of these presentation ideas useful.

Even the older model of the Theater Magic wallet was considered the best by many...and now it's even better. So, yeah, while I'm not fully educated on all the other models, going off what other people say, this one does seem to be the way to go. |

I really appreciate Ricks honesty. He's giving good information but not claiming to know more than he does and in fact being very open about what he doesn't know.

I've had a few fire wallets, including a couple of pricey ones that Jim Pace put out a few years ago that lit electronically. Those were supposed to eliminate the noise and finger motion that comes with striking a fint wheel. Nice idea, but there were all sorts of other problems, including battery life, crappy gluing of the flaps, etc. The Theater Magic Fire Wallet 2.0 is old school in that it uses a flint wheel, but it's an improvement on other similar wallets because of the quality of the fire chamber, the inclusion of the tension spring that closes everything automatically, the quality teaching DVD, and the fact that the design allows for cheap replacement of the flint wheel commonly available components.
My one question is, does the giant wick ever need replacing? If so, how does one do that?

Theatre magic is doing it right. I used pace's wallets for a while until I cut my finger striking the flint. The theatre wallets are well made and I have been using the first version for a few years in my strolling and restaurant gigs. I look forward to upgrading to the new version soon.
I love Theatre Magic's wallet because it's reliable and lights 99% of the time and lasts for hours. Sometimes I get it to still light a day later after a gig and it still does. It is a very well made product. |

I would love to put this in my stuff but I am afraid I would set the beard and eyebrows aflame.
Magic speaks to the child in all of us. No matter how sophisticated we become, there's still a part of us who wants to believe in an alternative reality, where we can defy the laws of nature.

My last fire wallet can't seem to hold fluid that long . Hopefully this will do its job . Just saw Rick's video and I am even more intrigued into getting one .
