I am interested in this, but the wallet looks exxtremely thick. I do not know if it would even fit in my jeans' pocket.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKvqs6O1xS8 It did get a good review. However, I was surprised that for such a big wallet it does not have a bill compartment. http://lesavisdalexis.wixsite.com/review......-Schucht

Maybe it was the camera that made it look bigger tha nit is, but it looked extremely big, at least to me. The DVD and routines seem very detailed and interesting though. Michael

Certainly it's not my everyday wallet type.

Hi,
A quick message to answer your questions : - If you buy the Phantom Wallet from a dealer in the US or UK, all the printed gimmicks and the video (instructions, routines, ideas...) will fully be in English. - Regarding the thickness, the guy in the video review has put a lot of thick stuff in it (well, more than what most of us would put into the wallet). Here is a picture to give you a better idea of its regular thickness after putting in it all of my everyday stuffs (credits cards, business cards, bills, id etc.). With all these stuff in it, It's a little bit thicker than a deck of cards. If you don't use it as an everyday wallet and only put business cards in it for a gig, it will of course be a lot thinner. Hope I answered your questions Maxime Click here to view attached image. |

Can one of the creators give more detail on the routines that come with this.

Sorry, I humbly differ with the creator as to the thickness of the wallet shown in the photo. As the name implies - 'Phantom', so is the size of the wallet - it's a big, thick, bulky wallet. It's nowhere near the daily use wallet one is so used to. This is MY personal opinion after seeing it physically with a friend. However on a more positive note, this is a very versatile, multi-utility, multipurpose and multi-effect wallet - I will call it 'The Mother of All Wallets'. It seems a lot of thought has gone into designing and creating The Phantom Wallet. A lot more can be achieved with this multiuse wallet than has been taught on the teaching DVD. One’s own imagination will be the only limiting factor. The wallet is very useful for performers with an inner jacket pocket. And if one doesn't mind the bulkiness of the wallet, this wallet is well worth the investment and worth considering.
This is on my purchase list - After all its an educated decision. 
Mh1001 has very nicely reviewed 'The Phantom Wallet'.

Before buying I'd like to know the routines that come with it. Are any innovating? If anyone has the time to give a very short breakdown of them it would be greatly appreciated.

One of the best feelings a magician/mindreader can feel is having their package unexpectedly being delivered early. Today was a good day.
I'm yet to play with the wallet/watch the DVD but here are my first impressions: the wallet is significantly larger than it looks in the demo. This isn't a bad thing and I do like the overall look, it may just be a consideration for some. More of a jacket wallet, which works beautifully for me, being European. I was surprised to find no DVD, but rather a business card with a link to online instructions. Packaging is great overall (ala Marchand de Trucs) with silver foil etc. I'm excited. I'll say one more thing: the locking mechanism looks stronger than the SAW or Espionage. This was something I was concerned about, but for now (with nothing in it), it's definitely "safer". Hope that helps you for now gentlemen, enjoy the rest of your day! |

One more thing (and this may turn off some, myself included).
The wallet design feels "guilty", not to your audience but to the purchaser. A huge effort has been made to ensure that each pocket (including the one leading to the peek and load) have been separated as to give them everyday utility, i.e. there are leather flaps dividing the "secret" aspect and allow you to store things in that section. This is good, but the wallet has PLENTY of space already and this does make it thicker. Just a thought. |

Sashac in other reviews it mentions that a lot of routines involve post-it-notes. What do you think of the routines. Are there any standouts.
cheers |

They do, the post it peek is superb (I believe it's based on a John T. Sheets wallet peek).
There's a close up chair test, a psychometry effect, a couple of "influence and implanting thoughts" effects using some nicely produced business cards (included), standard drawing dupes with nice little presentational twists. Having lived in France, I'm aware that Maxime and Sylvain are really proud of the routines as they create magic for another performer. I personally wasn't a huge fan of most of them. This is very specific to me since I like SUPER straightforward premises. I'm pretty sure most people will love the routines as much if not more than the wallet. |
