As far as a hand over the eyes; I like to over exagerate for moments as part of the lightheartedness and make squinty eyes along with facial gestures that indicate I might actually have gas. Moving the hands from covering the eye to the mouth or ears, pincing the nose and back to the eyes could add more of that element. Place a card to stick to your forehead that has a picture of an eye on it and attempt to cover that too and make motions as if you are trying to cover all three eyes.

I cannot think of any act, effect or routine in which any prop would need to be justified for its use when there is a story that goes along with your performance.

The wallet's inclusion is already justifies, yes? After all, you have to take the wallet out to get a card to draw on, so it's already in play. More importantly is justifying why they're writing anything down.
Plus,since you pulled the wallet out to get a card, once the card is replaced the wallet *could* be immediately put back in the pocket, removing it from play. And it would be already set up to use again, yes? |

I'm not normally a fan of drawings being put into wallets during drawing duplications but if you like the idea of using a wallet this looks by far the cleanest way to go; and you could argue that in more casual situations this makes more sense than bringing out a stack of business cards. I'm always impressed by how far Colin McLeod tries to go in pursuit of the cleanest possible effect.

Anyone else here having problems retrieving the drawing from the wallet? I need tweezers or sometimes even pliers to be able to pull the business card out of the peek slot. Even with the money clip and the secret thingy open, the slot is still to tight to get the business card out.
I tried fanning powder to make the cards slip in and out more easily, but that doesn't help. Its also very hard to push the business card in all the way, or deep enough. There is a lot of resistance. When the wallet is completely empty, apart from the business card, it still is impossible to retrieve the card without a tool. I can now put two fingers inside of the slot after trying to loosen it. It certainly isn't a easy as Colin makes it seem in the video. BTW: apart from this issue I love the wallet and the method. Is quick, direct and invisible. I also tried to find the secret before watching the video and it took me a looong time to find it.

Yeah same here, very tight. But I suspect time will "wear" it open more. I'm being more liberal in stretching it as I work it.

He’d be holding a wallet with your money and credit cards. It would be natural to take the wallet back after he puts the card in order to put the wallet back in your pocket.

My business cards are able to stick out a little bit making retrieving it very very simple and easy. I also only use one credit card per slot like I would normally do in my wallet anyway with proper management you will always have them place the drawing in the correct space. Hope that helps.
Good magic to all, Eric |

Mine was snug when I first got it, but after packing it tight with business cards while practicing its much better. I really love this btw

Psychologically the handling and method Colin employs here is more disarming. Think about how much more disarming it is for billet envelope work when you seemingly leave the billet in the envelope with the spectator to hold on to. Because the wallet is so personal, if you had someone hold on to it for a moment, it doesn’t create suspicion. I refer to it as the lesson taught in Dean Dill’s Blizzard. Even if when you do the work for Blizzard and you didn’t nail it perfectly square, if you try to correct it after doing the work, if you go anywhere near it after doing the work, from my experience you have a high rate of being caught (this should make sense to people who know how Dean Dill’s Blizzard works). “Natural-ness” is an important aspect but sometimes the more disarming thing might not be the most natural thing... |

Good points Kiss. You could justify it by doing the necessary as you pull out another card to draw on. I only brought this option up because
1 Holding the wallet out in an awkward grip while the spec fumbles it in is a slight weak spot 2 The wallet is so well made that it is almost a shame not to let them handle it freely However I will probably do it as Colin teaches
