Standard 3.5" wide business cards will not fit into the slots unless you cut the card's width down and plan leave them in place as props to fill the slots. Any additional cards for use with the effect I place in the bill section. I also made a magnetic gimmick to keep the gimmicked part in place so it doesn't flash the workings and only opens when needed. |

They cut leather slots this way when the slots are not hemmed along the edges to help reinforce the slot ends. If you cut the slits longer (through the round punched area) you run the risk of creating a stress point and if you're plan on taking cards in and out time after time you may possibly tear the leather at the ends of the slots which could wear through the leather in any direction... usually not the direction you intended. |

What a great idea with the magnet gimmick! I just did that and it works great! Thanks for that. Does anyone have any tips on getting the folded card into the compartment easier? I did the effect yesterday when it was very dark and I didn't get it in right so when I did the p**k I didn't see what you need to see. I had to take out the folded card and say some mumbo jumbo and put it back in. Still worked, but embarrassing. Any tips or wallet modifications that help with getting the folded card in right? |

Has anyone come up with an alternative way to do the load for the envelope or the card to wallet, because the one he teaches in the tutorial looks very awkward

Still the most clever even after the arrival of new wallets with similar characteristic on the market (Viper and Blink)?
Any comparison among the wallet for a peek of a folded card? Thanks/Fabio |

Late to the party, I know, but I had to add this: to make the inserting of the card into the "certain area' you should pre-fold the card about 2mm/ or 1/8" offset at the end, so that there is a bit of a "lip" that can be used to *funnel* the card in (if you get my drift).

Folks, I'm having the same issue - I just received my wallet (purchases 2 weeks ago) and I still haven't seen the video - is there a link? A website? Can anyone share/help me?

But now you say it doesn't matter to the audience? Has your change of heart come from performance experience? |
