Hello all!
Anyone have any ideas/ sources for card packet holders with a leather(ish) back and clear plastic front (ala Tommy Wonder’s Tamed Cards holder from the L&L videos/DVDs)? Thanks in advance for any insight. Michael |

I'm a little confused about what you're asking but you might want to take a look at the zap wallet and see if it's what you're looking for.

You might try asking Card Shark here on the Café or at this link. http://www.card-shark.de/iphone/showitem......rtID=241
I believe Card Shark owns the rights to this now and has released Tamed Cards set. Check out the link ^^^ Penguin sells the cheap black plastic wallets for about a buck. you could cut it in half.... Also at Penguin you will find an outstanding leather wallet for under $4 bucks. made by TCC. I think both are out of stock right now tho. |

A good while back http://www.theambitiouscard.com/ was making a very nice leather (I believe) set just for Tamed Cards. You might want to contact them (he is also an active member here) and see if he has any left or is considering another small run of them. He even had a thread to see how many wanted to get a nice set to determine if he was going to make them but you might have a bit of a hard time searching via the search function. I cannot remember which forum it was in. (might have been in the workers forum)

I'm curious to see if anyone finds a source as I've been looking to get a leather packet holder myself.

I do not have this particular case, but I have several which I purchased over the years similar to this. you can cut out dividers with a "tab" from a portable vinyl sheet. you can label the tab with the name of the packet trick so that it is easy to identify which packet tricks are which. The is assuming that you want to store 10-ish packet tricks in one case.
https://www.amazon.com/Buxton-Unisex-Lea......0&sr=8-4 If you only want to store a few packet tricks, there are many options. For example, some tricks come with a wallet already and you can store additional packet tricks in it. (for example, ID by Steve cook, Z-6 by Dobson, etc....). If you are only looking to store 2 or 3 packet tricks, try a small leather (-ish) double window ID/Credit card wallet. I cannot vouch for this particular one, but I have purchased may of these over the years at department stores. https://www.amazon.com/Leather-Credit-Wa......&sr=8-25

There is a nice leather packet wallet from TCC available here for $5.99, but it is a more standard style and doesn't have a clear front like Tommy's does: https://playingcarddecks.com/products/pl......t-wallet |

I think the general search is for a nice "single" holder since Tommy collects "1 card" and turns it into another (the set Card-Shark sells and owns the rights to,4 has 4 single sleeves with the same 4 card sets that Tommy used and explains in The Books of Wonder" Unfortunately, The set comes with 4 black plastic/clear sided holders. Ambitious Card took a "poll" a while back for people who would want a set of 4 in leather and I believe made a small run for them. Although a TCC holder will "work" (as in hold the cards) I would guess anyone really looking (Like myself because I missed the first round) wants to more closely duplicate Tommy's Original holder type. I personally have several of the TCC sets as well as many of their products, they just wouldn't work for me in this case.

I know this isn't the clear type you mentioned, but I figured I would say that this accordion style one by TCC is pretty good. I have been using it for about a year now and love it. The best part is you can keep a few packet tricks in there as well as some card gimmicks and a full deck of cards in the other pocket
