The method and effect are wonderful along with the size. My only issue would be the construction of a wallet of this price range ($120.00). Single stitched and after two weeks of owning it, the plastics have already since dried, cracked and split along the folds. Bummer.

I wish people would actually use the trick before writing a review. All these 5 star reviews are based on very first impressions.

Try to put your debit cards in the slots. Yeah, only two of the three fit okay while the third is funky.

Now try to put bills inside the wallet. Yeah, the bills don't even fit! You literally have to fold the bills in half for them to fit in the wallet. What kind of jank is that?!

The method and trick are great, but don't expect to walk around and use this as an actual wallet. It's limited in that capacity -- which is laughable considering the price.

Cheap lather, single weak stitching, and the cheapest, easiest-to-tear plastic.

I can't beat that fact into the review enough. Great trick, but awful quality. If you have money to burn, it's a good trick. Just know who ever released this trick is getting over on every one. I've seen Gucci wallets for this price.

Who ever put this wallet together should be ashamed. You didn't even make it big enough to fit money! D'oh!

When I received the item, my suspicion was that (without exposing too much of the method) the mechanical wear of the plastic would last about 8 weeks before it breaks the bend (given it is quite hard foil, I am sure there are more flexible material options if one is willing to manufacture a quality product).

Turns out, I was way too optimistic. After just two weeks and less than 20 performances, the bend is completely teared and broken.

Which would be fine in a China ripoff for 3 bucks, but at this price tag I was sort of hoping for a utility device that would last me a while.

I thought I was the only one with just bad luck, but at least some other reviewers and commenters appear to have experienced the same issues. And I feel there are more of us.

Somehow it seems strange that a product like this should not have been prototyped and tested extensively for wear and tear before rolling it out.

keliopenshaw, keep us updated whether there is any hope in having the thing replaced. And Penguin, let us know when you put out a version 1.2 of the wallet with a different and more thoroughly tested choice of materials.

OK! First off, this is by far the best magic wallet I have ever bought.

The wallet as a wallet. 4/5
The binding is perfect, the material is fine, and there are many compartments. Only downside, some of the slots in the wallet that look like they fit credit cards, do not. Aside from that, it is wonderful.

The wallet as a tool. 5/5
It does exactly what Menny says it does, and well! How about that, an honest magician!

I got this and did the trick right away. The method is easy, undetectable, and simply fantastic. For me, no more struggling with the Center Tear. This wallet IS a game changer. The fact that the spectator's card seemingly remains folded is HUGE. My disappointment was the wallet as an everyday wallet. Solid construction, but simply awkward. The cash compartment is too small, making putting in or taking out cash a pain. This is kind of basic for a wallet! Holds too few credit cards. But, the trick is fantastic. Thanks for the great new method.

this will amaze your spectator(s). Very easy to do and no suspicious moves at all.
Buy it. You won't be sorry.

I'd also wager it's a 4.5. To the reviewer that said the stuff about the credit card, it actually does fit credit cards nicely. It just takes some time. Once you force them in the first time it fits perfectly. The biggest problem with the wallet is the number of credit card slots. There's far too few. Besides that, I've already replaced it as my every day wallet. I like how slim it is.

the idea is ok, but wallet's quality is not ok.
I'm not sure if only mine is not good so I emailed penguin 3 times for checking my wallet but no answer. very disappointed!!

I own many peak wallets and this is the worse quality mentalism wallet I own. Don't waste your money on this - Instead buy an Assassin which will last you years and years. The quality is so much better. Sorry I ever wasted money on this cheaply made wallet. Last time I buy any product put out by Lindenfeld!

Rarely do you feel this sense of "wow, this is worth so much more than I just paid for it". This gimmick so delivers and I am so happy I bought it. Should probably buy a second one to have as a back up.
