At Mystikos we are proud to present the "Minimal Wallet".



Image








Imagine if the legendary "Sight Unseen Case" used by top professionals around the world created like a quality, minimalist, completely functional and normal looking slim wallet.

We are pleased to bring you the "Minimal Wallet" with full blessing from the original SUC creator Mark Strivings.

With this new wallet designed from the creative minds of Pablo Amira and Alan Wong, you have a thin minimalist billfold style wallet that you will use as an everyday wallet, ready to produce miracles anytime anywhere.

Most wallets for magicians in the market are large, sometimes look weird and are overloaded with features that you never use.
In the "Minimal Wallet" we focus on the essential power in a minimal space.
In the "Minimal Wallet" you will get proper place for bills, business cards, credit cards and everything that a normal wallet carries with the SUC function implemented in a clever way, so you can peek, load, steal and more.

You will receive the genuine top grade leather wallet, written and video instructions to learn handlings and routines in the most integral manner.

EXCLUSIVE Mystikos Offer: If you get your "Minimal Wallet" you will get for FREE an UPD aka Universal Peek Device (Normal Price: $20)


Be simple. Get Minimal.

No doubt that the SAW was a great tool but different approachea in each wallet Yuan.
Vertical bilfold without bill section and two areas of p3ek, which adds other layer of thickness.

We want a normal horizontal bifold with proper bill section, thin by nature and we created the Minimal Wallet.

Hey Pablo,

Regarding every day use... what items can you keep in it? How many cards, etc?
I have train tickets, debit cards, work passes in mine.

Will the SUC principle work while there is cash in the wallet?

Not having seen a pic of the wallet's interior, I can only say that it doesn't appear that I could use it as my every day wallet.

Hey sirw!
The Minimal Approach to everyday carry is guided by the notion that maybe you don't really need everything that you have right now at your wallet. A few minutes to take the unnecesary objects and you will have the essentials in a more organized and simple manner. With that I don't mean that the "Minimal Wallet" cant hold various objects.
Personally I keep my essential cards (three creditc cards, ID, drive licence, the gym card and a couple more), playing card for predictions, 5 ESP cards,my UPD with business cards and bills. With all that is just 1 inch at the thickest part!

Does the SUC lead to the billfold compartment or the credit card slots portion of the wallet?

I've had a bit of an offline conversation with Pablo about this wallet and I don't think that he'll mind me sharing the following information (please note that I don't own this, I just had a number of questions that I wanted to satisfy before dropping the $70):

1) The card will end up in the bill pocket if you use the SUC to load.

2) If you insert the card into the slot in the wallet's interior you cannot utilize the SUC with the bills fully extended** in the bill pocket (they need to be folded in half and retrained in the non-SUC side); alternatively, you CAN insert the card directly into the bill pocket with the bills extended and still access the SUC feature (in my mind though this would look a little unnatural and 'fidgety' but to each their own).

**Note on point 2 - I'm thinking that with a bit of 'arts and crafts' it will be possible to alter a few bills so that they appear fully extended yet still grant access from the interior slot to the SUC. This would slightly defeat the 'everyday wallet' selling point but I don't really like carrying cash anyway so it's a non-issue for me.

As I already use an All-ett (the BEST minimalist wallet on the market IMHO: https://www.amazon.com/Allett-920201-Lea......=all-ett - it's about 1/4 inch thick loaded with 6 cards and some cash) I really like the idea of having an everyday wallet that boasts the SUC. I think the whole concept behind this is SPOT ON - too many wallets on the market take the "swiss-army" approach...but all I really want is a wallet that does the one 'essential' VERY well.

I'm not able to comment on whether or not this wallet is the ultimate solution - but I'm VERY tempted to pick one up to see!

Best,

Drew

Thanks for sharing that information and opinions Drew.

We had the same vision at Mystikos, for that reason we collaborate with Alan to create this little beauty.

Indeed, I have played with the idea that you mention (I am a mindreader Smile) and although valid, if I want to use the wallet and I don't want to fold the bills, I just place the card from the back. Personally I believe in the incidental use of the wallet, not as a "test condition" container, rather just a way to isolate the card to keep it secret for a while.
Folding the bills during performance can be done during a natural action and it will not be seen as "suspicious" if the performer doesn't communicate that. Its simple.

If you use the wallet in his "load" mode, you can keep the bills folded from the beginning (or not have bills during formal gigs) and you can remove the prediction from inside the inner pocket.

I just want to draw people's attention to the fact that there's a very good deal on at Mystikos at the moment - the wallet and three other of their other products for $110.
I've availed myself of the offer. I have a 'thing' for wallets, but this is on the very reasonable part of the price spectrum for such wallets, and I like the minimalism aspect of this wallet for those times I don't need a 'workhorse' type of wallet with me.
I look forward to receiving it!

Here's the page with the (time-limited) deal:

Karl M , I am sure that you are creative enough to find a way to place that note if you need it in the Minimal Wallet.

The "minimal" approach to wallet designs has obviously compromises, and not every note in the world will fit. But the comfort and and good quality of the materials and fabrication are the aspect to appreciate in this.
