We can all debate which wallet or tool is the “best,” but I genuinely believe it comes down to choosing the right tool for the right job. Over the years I’ve collected and used many different wallets, and I tend to select the one that best suits the routine I’m performing.
My everyday wallet is the SAW, but I also carry a smaller compact wallet for a particular “name and place” routine that has been getting incredible reactions. The SUC, of course, is an absolute classic and a true worker’s tool, but it’s also a very different style of wallet and won’t necessarily suit every performer. The same can be said for wallets like The Castle, The SAW, The Orphic, and practically every other wallet on the market. What works perfectly for one performer may not be the ideal choice for another, and that’s exactly why there are so many great options available. Just my thoughts Peter |

Hard-case minimalist wallets with push-button card ejection are pretty mainstream these days. They’ve been around for years and seem especially popular now because of the minimalist/EDC style many people prefer now.
The Castle Wallet honestly just looks like a normal modern card wallet to me. Very similar to lots already on the market like here and others on this page: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CZRC2Y21 Looking forward to using it. I think it might work great with the Graphite pen by Nick Malevich. |

Well now that begs a few questions. You gotta spill the beans |

Yes, it is different than a traditional wallet, but its design doesn't strike me as not being 'modern'. Is it the greatest peek device out there? Probably not, but this represents just another option - and it may or may not fit everyone's style. Not having field-tested the Castle Wallet in front of people yet I can't gauge reactions. I was, however, out last night at a brewery and saw three people using these pop-up style wallets so I wouldn't anticipate any kind of heat on using the Castle Wallet. |

Ah! Okay. Do you know the version of Name and Place he might be referring to?

Samurai? An new take on a Shogun, perhaps?

I've purchased a grip of peak wallets, as I'm sure we all have. This one makes the most sense to me and I love it.

So I used it last night at a private party and it killed.
It was a 50th Birthday and I did the effect that Harry demo'ed and Simon touched on but I did it with their favourite gift. The prediction card said something like: Dear Steve I hope you enjoy the XXXXX And to justify the hot area I wrote To Steve Merry Christmas (he told me it was a Christmas Present) From XXXXX To be honest I don't really see the Castle Wallet as a peek wallet. To me it feels like a close up "Master Prediction System" that has some peek funtionality. I am so glad though that Love Connection wasn't on the tralier as that is too good to no have it as a go to effect. |

Mine arrived, and I'm very happy with it. The peek is easy to do and will fly by.
My only issue is the double writing feature due to my terrible handwriting and limited space; it does look like it was written at a different time. Need to get the practice in. |

This one is not for me. I see this as a tool to be used with nail writers or just a peek. There are many other methods for peeks, or nail writing that is more beneficial use in everyday life that I don't need to take out my wallet to accomplish it. for me it is a matter of what I would want to see as a spectator that will blow their minds. taking out my wallet to put a billet into it to get a peek is not something that I would want. a simple envelope would do a better job, and still can do a peek or nail writing.

Finally got around to performing this alongside Mark Lemon’s pen and it went down really well.
The peek is incredibly clean, and combining it with a prediction written in red ink made for a very strong moment. I used the date ploy for the first prediction and it landed perfectly. Very glad I picked this up. |
