My thoughts on this are, that the SUC, is certainly the best of their kind I have seen.

I don't own a SUC but, considering the great reviews it's garnered, would consider getting one.
The thing is, I'm unclear as to how it's different from a gaffed wallet as far as the effects one can perform with it is concerned.
It seems to me that it would appear less "magic-y" and suspicious to a spec to use an ordinary looking, but gaffed, wallet (as opposed to the SUC, a busines card holder) to perform the very same effects that are performed with the SUC.
Please enlighten me if I'm wrong.

The suc doesn't look gaffed at all, it really looks quite ordinary, and really can be a functional every day item you can carry around your cards in from show to show.

I agree, but also disagree. I agree the SUC doesn't look gaffed at all. However I disagree with the fact that it looks quite ordinary. To me "looking ordinary" means that the object is in normal use by many people. But in denmark where I live, hardly anyone uses a leather business card holder. In fact I've only seen one person using a leather business card holder, and he was from Sweden. So in Denmark the SUC would not stand out as an ordinary object. However it is an explainable object (even without explaining it, because people can see what it is when you open it).

Conclusion: It's not gaffed and it is ordinary (only if you come from a country where people normally carries their business cards around in a leather wallet).

Now here is the real problem for me. Since it's good looking and everybody understands what it is, then SUC is in no way suspicious to anybody. But the fact that it's cool looking, and its not a normal thing to carry (in Denmark), makes people want to see the SUC simply out of curiousity - simply because they want a similar cool business card holder. Of course it can be shown by just showing it yourself and saying "just a leather case I bought in London", but anywa you don't like that people will hold your SUC.

Your point is well taken Vraagaard. Where I live all sorts of differant wallets are every where, I myself have a wallet from spain made especially to hold driving licences and euro's ,where as the euros were origionally too big for most of the wallets here, so many people are going on holidays to differant countrys it almost seems like law that you have to buy a cheap wallet whren your away Smile. Here no one really has any interest in special wallets.
I agree with all you say, it seems to depend on where you come from.
