Magic Tricks

I’ve played around another every day carry wallet before, but it was just a tad too small for my liking. This one finally gets the size just right, and the SUC feature is really, really amazing. I can just reach into my pocket with a palmed card and pull out the wallet with the card hidden underneath the wallet, where no one can see, and with no awkward fumbling the card comes out from inside the wallet. My normal pants pockets aren’t very big, so this makes the card-to-wallet feel natural with no tension.

It’s big enough that there’s room to drop a "prediction" card or paper nestled between bills right in front of someone. Then, with the SUC, I can pull out the "updated" prediction and it genuinely looks like its the same prediction I put in before coming from the same place. I tried Patrick Redford’s idea of gluing a dollar around the SUC part but used a little Zig sticky glue instead of rubber cement, and it works great. The effect of pulling the prediction from between the bills looks very good.

The buttoned ID compartment is well made and designed well and can accept full cards. I’ve seen several magicians talk about Tony Miller's designs and craftsmanship on forums and YouTube with reverence, and it shows. The wallet seems much easier to use than the smaller wallet I tried before, but honestly, the best feature for me is just how easy the SUC makes things. Mark Strivings has written a ton about how to use it for peaks and a lot more, and it’s so simple and seriously like having a great tool in your pocket. Redford’s teaching is really detailed, calmly delivered, and well thought out, and his confabulation routine using the SUC opens up creative possibilities and is like a blank-page for coming up with an routine for friends and family.

I think the wallet looks good. It doesn’t have that overly new, shiny, or gimmicky look...it just looks like a normal dark brown wallet. The material has small natural imperfections in the texture, and a matte appearance. Even my girlfriend liked the cork material and she picked up a non-magic cork wallet to put in her purse. This material is really, really tough so far. Maybe its be the lining of the cork adding to its tensile strength. It has not scuffed either.
