"I really love modern and organic magic, and it's for that reason I think that Dee's Shadow Wallet is going to be the best peek wallet for magicians like me! I am sure that you will use it forever!"
- Adrian Vega

"This thing is so freaking cool! The perfect everyday carry! It looks smart, it is compact and the functionality is incredible considering its size! This will be something you ALWAYS carry!"
- Jamie Daws

"Dee's Shadow wallet is the next evolution in Mentalism slimline wallets. It incorporates a solid and reliable peek that allows you to view 99% of a business card - no funny moves or reversed images so you can reveal literally anything!
And the strongest and smartest version of a named card in wallet I've ever seen.And once again, having a vegan option is hugely appreciated by me and a growing number or people.
This thing is now my everyday wallet so I'm always ready to amaze and astonish."

- Alexander Marsh

"I know that I could enter any room with just this wallet in my pocket, and walk out having amazed every single person. The ability to have a thought of star sign or playing card in my everyday wallet as well as a powerful peek opens up so many possibilities. The materials are first class, the methods are well thought out and the effects are mind blowing. And With a carbon fibre option, I'll probably never have to buy another wallet again."
- Lewis LéVal

"Dee's shadow wallet should be every magicians EDC.
It's rare you find something stylish that you will be proud to use as an everyday wallet, that packs an entire close up act. This is a huge achievement.
Razor was sharp but it has now been shadowed by this new offering. I wholeheartedly recommend Shadow Wallet for anyone that wants to read minds."

-Joel Dickinson

The Shadow Wallet by Dee Christopher & The 1914 is a revolutionary minimalist mentalism device.

The world's slimmest self contained index and peek wallet. Created in two distinctly different styles, to fit in any pocket (even the skinniest of jeans), purse or bag. Choose the one that suits you best:

Classic Leather Edition: Produced in high quality, soft leather; this wallet serves a timeless,high tier look for those looking to project professionalism and class in business meetings,award shows and black tie events.

Carbon Fibre Edition: The first magic wallet ever produced in real carbon fibre; to last a lifetime. The glossy, modern look of the carbon fibre is trimmed with vegan leather to create a cruelty free option for performers looking for a futuristic, post-modern look for casual situations, nightclub gigs and street performance.

- You will be able to pull a named card from the wallet, before showing it to be empty except for that named card. (No deck required, cards included.)

- You will be able to peek any information written on a business card, placed inside the wallet.(With or without the included filter.)

- You will even be able to perform a unique book test effect, using a completely examinable single page folded up in your wallet. (Using an ordinary book, you have hundreds of refills for next to nothing!)

In the two hour masterclass you receive with the purchase of your new wallet, Dee Christopher and Lewis Le Val discuss the many options you have for the above effects. Regardless of your experience or skill level, you will be able to perform these tricks using this fantastic device.The guys teach many peeks for different situations, several handlings for the thought of card (orstar sign) in wallet, and a multitude of subtleties, routines, advice and other work in an entertaining manner.

You will sit in on the discussion and absorb a vast amount of knowledge as they hold nothing back. You are given everything you need to perform incredible mind reading and prediction effects using your new every day, ultra minimalist wallet.

Everything is great except the graphics on the gaff cards Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 26th, 2021
This is a nice leather wallet. You can use this as a regular wallet. It is barely noticeable in your pocket it is so thin.

Another six out card index for the same kind of trick is being sold on penguin as a $50 product. So compared to that, this is like getting a superior, more compact, more examinable version of the index, plus a leather peek wallet for an extra ten bucks.

My big complaint is that these gaff cards are a relatively common concept, but they used the absolute worst way of designing them I have ever seen. There are two other ways I have seen these kind of gaffs made. What I would call the good way and the bad way. Then what 1914 did was make them in a way that I would call the very bad way. They look pretty ridiculous.

They went to all the trouble to get a very unique card stock that keeps the wallet super flat, but then botched the graphic on the card bad. You have to hold the card in far less natural looking way than you would with better gaffs.

In fact, when you watch the trailer, they are using Bicycle Maiden Back cards that are the good style of this gaff. They use better gaff cards in the trailer than what you actually get with the wallet. You can not display the gaff cards you get, like the way they display the Maiden Back gaff card in the video.

It is a real shame, because they had a very special card stock used that is super thin, but also feels really durable.

I don't know how this doesn't have more reviews!! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 8th, 2021
I don't know why this wallet doesn't have more reviews! The peek is the same as the Razor Wallet. The peel alone is the best I've ever used. I have the stealth assassin, the Viper, the nexus, and all the other wallets that offer a peek feature, and in my opinion they don't even come close to the shadow and Razor peek. The razor/shadow has a full peek, but my favorite part about it, is the motivation and justification behind getting your peek... It just makes sense. On top of that, after I've gotten my peek, I place the wallet between the spectators hands (something I would not be comfortable doing with most other peek wallets). The only thing I ever felt the Razor Wallet was lacking was storage, only having two card slots. The shadow wallet has everything the Razor had, but much more storage, AND a built in index system. For mentalism, this is hands down the best wallet money can buy.

My Everyday Wallet Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 6th, 2022
Full disclosure, I bought this wallet using store credit. I know that one's opinion probably changes when you get something basically for free instead of spending a decent amount of money on a magic product.

I have to say that this wallet is now my everyday wallet. This is without a doubt one of the best magic products I've ever bought. If you enjoyed the razor wallet and wanted more pockets as well as an "any card named" prediction then this is the perfect wallet for you. The peek is identical to the razor wallet which is good. All you need to do is insure that the peeked word is written legibly and you should have no problem getting a good peek. It also comes with the protective screen like the one used in the razor wallet to make the peek even more covered.

The best part of this wallet is by far the card prediction. The cards are ultra-thin so it doesn't make the wallet bulky. I often forget that the cards are in there. You just need to do a little memory work to make sure you locate the needed card quickly to make it look like you're not searching for a card. It is magician's choice, but the way it's done is so smooth. This may be hard to explain but I will try. The wallet contains every picture card, red and black. This means that when you first equivocate number cards or picture cards, you can then use that same wording for every choice after. For example, if someone "picks up" the picture cards you can then "throw away" the number cards. Now that you have every out available in the wallet you can then use that same wording to narrow down the card. This makes it seem like a much freer choice. You don't have to alter your wording every time.

There are 2 things that are important, in my opinion, to be aware of.

1.) The peek is best used for blank playing cards. You can use business cards, but it can be tricky retrieving the business card if you stick it all the way in the wallet. The wallet is just wider that a business card. I just bought some blank playing cards online and that does the trick. If you'd rather use business cards it would be a good idea to have the spectator write the information on the very bottom on the business card using a x__________ line so you can leave the edge of the business card sticking out of the wallet. This will make things much easier when you take out the card.

2.) The new wallet will leave some black marks on business cards. This is most likely due to the dye in the wallet. This was a simple fix. I just saw where in the wallet there was dye and wiped it down a bit with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. This rubbed away some of the harsher dye that was coming off onto my blank playing cards. This does cause that part of the wallet to fade, but the part of the wallet I was "cleaning" was in a pocket so the faded leather wouldn't be seen.

3.) The cards cannot be handed out for examination. This shouldn't come as a surprise to mentalist who watch the trailer, especially when they see how the card is being held.

All in all, this wallet is amazing. Dee Christopher and Levis Le'Val are geniuses and the tutorial video they give you is extremely thorough.

Good peek & index Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 25th, 2021
I would have bought the Razor wallet were it not sold out, but I'm glad I got magician's-choiced into this one. The added 12-out card index means another impressive trick you can achieve, which seems worth the extra $25, if you're going to be carrying the thing anyway.

The instruction from Dee and Lewis is great, and they are- let's face it- adorable together.

I am removing a star because I agree with other reviewers- the index makes it just a bit difficult to slide the card into the wallet. It is recommended you simply take the card from the spectator and do it yourself. No spectators questioned this when I performed with it, but it does seem like a weird design flaw.

(This is my first peek wallet, so I have no idea if something else would function better).

Simple simply plus Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 6th, 2022
It’s a razor wallet with a bonus. The bonus is worth price of the wallet.
I wanted a simple peek. That’s exactly what this is... plus a bonus.
The equivocate used for the bonus is genius.
The price is right.
Now part of my EDC.

Great Peek and Index Wallet Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 30th, 2022
If you are looking for a peek or an index wallet, this is a great one. If this is what you need get one. People have talked about the smell of the leather wallet, but I put mine on my window sill for about 4 hours and it was fine after that.

There are 2 hours of instruction on the online video (you cannot download it). While everyone will get something out of this video, it geared toward the beginner. If you have used a peek or multiple out wallet before, you will find the instructions to be a bit basic. The reverse is also true, however, in that someone who has never used a peek or index wallet would be ready to go after watching these instructions.

A great deal of thought went into the "thought of card to wallet." I have heard it described by 3 or four people call this effect a combination of Kolossaol Killer and B'Wave. This is NOT an accurate description. This a version of Kolossal Killer which uses gaffs similar to those used in B'Wave and or the Princess Card Trick. In short, they are MI cards. The 6 cards that you receive are extremely thin and well made. I really do not like this version of the effect for several reasons. First it looks like you are hiding something when you show the card (because you are). Second, Dee Christopher is a talented guy and I still cringed when I heard him say, "that leaves you with..." In other words, you can find better instructions for Kolossal Killer. Finally, Dee runs when he is not being chased by making a big deal showing the wallet to be empty. My advice to you is to watch the Inferno version of Kolossal Killer and use this equivoque. All you will need in your wallet is the four Queens. Simply put the QH in the wallet and the other 3 cards in the index. Show the one card in pocket and... In short, while I applaud Dee's attempt to create a new version of Kolossal Killer, and appreciate him going to the trouble an expense of creating the cards, I feel that he has missed the mark with this one.

In short, this is great peek and index wallet and a fantastic price. You should get this if you need one. Beginners to peek wallets and Kolossal Killer will be uo to speed after watching this video, while experienced performers might get bored.

Well made. Good value. Get one.

A simple peek and an added effect. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 22nd, 2022
Like any trick or prop you’ll get better the more you work with.
The peek, I carry the device in my shirt pocket. So it makes sense for me to put it back in that pocket.

For me I don’t do the peek and the playing card bonus at the time.

It is now part of my EDC.

Shadow wallet education Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 5th, 2023
I received the Shadow wallet and the wallet was well made and the instructions were very good.

I had never used an index before so this was new to me but the education was simple and understandable. It is a very good wallet for what it is used for and the peak and the index routine was excellent.

It has very limited use as an everyday wallet for me but that is ok since I have given up on finding one wallet that will do it all.

Saying this, I must note that the opportunities for this wallet are many and I am putting together a routine that will allow me to use the wallet and carry a trick or two in it as well to tie them all together. I would say it is well worth the cost and I also admit, I got another in brown real leather. It's quite nice and I do recommend it if you know how you want to use it.

I do carry it with me every day. Along with my actual non magic wallet (smile) :)

I am sorry! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 18th, 2021
Hi guys I am sorry I usually leave only nice reviews but I bought the Shadow wallet as the last top-notch device.. but it's NOT AT ALL! It has 2 routines basically, the routine with the card, it's fine, ok.. but the pick?! The pick's so obvious that it's impossible if you work for real to think to use it. I have 30 years of experience and I know how to handle the audience... it doesn't work guys!
