I recently purchased Barry Price Wallet (one of the last ones available from what I understand), and while its use is really self explanatory, I'd really like to see the video he originally put out. Mine didn't come with one. If anyone is willing to part with theirs, or knows where I can get one, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks all...

The Barry Price Wallet never had a video to my knowledge. It originally only came with printed instructions. It was put on the market way back in the 1980's, I believe. It was advertised in Genii Magazine. This was all before it was possible to make videos as easy as they can today.

Did I miss something, how come you believe there was a video instruction for the Wallet. I would be interested in hearing about it. I only have the printed instructions.

JDP,
Hocus Pocus was selling the video for a while.
You can try contacting them for info.
There were quite a bit of posts about this video on the Genii forum.
Good luck!

Hocus Pocus didn't "sell" the video per se. Around 2003 or so (not sure exactly which year) HP had two runs of Barry Price wallets made. They came with a VHS of Barry Price showing the workings of the wallet. Great wallet which comes with a signed and numbered certificate from Mr. Price.

As was mentioned, Owens Magic also had a much earlier production of the wallets. I once saw and handled one at a Magic Castle auction and it too is a superior wallet.

I recall that Steve Brooks reviewed the BP Wallet as one of his first reviews back in the day.

Regards,
MJ

A few members on the Genii forum stated that HP was selling the video back then and purchased it from them..
I really don't know for sure first hand. I'm not in a position to say one way or the other.
Check out the Genii forum and search for the BP wallet video.
Maybe someone there has more info.

Regardless of whether it was Hocus Pocus selling it or not, apparently the video exists.

Since I have one of the wallets, I would love to see the video!

Sorry everyone for not participating in the discussion; I forgot to look since the thread was moved. Anyway I've spoken to a few people that may sell me their used VHS. Unfortunately like all VHS tapes, time is not on their side and many have just succumbed to the elements. If I get a good one I'll definitely report back. From what I understand the video does not have much more info than the original printed instructions, but I guess I just like to see everything. Thanks everyone.

JDP and Darksage,
I just saw an EBay post which sold the Barry Price Card to Wallet System with the Video. It includes the wallet. I realize you already have the wallet but I just wanted to point out that perhaps you can contact HP about the video.
There's a picture of the video VHS which is clearly labelled it was sold by Hocus Pocus
I'm not sure but it looks like it was sold.
