Magic Tricks

This is an almost perfect "minimalist style" card to wallet. It will hold 3 cards in the outer slots and maybe around another 3 to 4 inside the zipper compartment. The teaching video included is clear and easy to follow. Josh provides a couple of handlings for the card to wallet plot (no palm and with palming).

I took one star because of a flaw in the wallet construction and this might be a flaw for you too. I was practicing and trying to load a card in the "secret load area" and I was somehow having a hard time loading or inserting the card. I examined the wallet carefully and found the flaw in construction of the wallet. The part of the wallet where the card is loaded has an inner lining that is glued to leather. That lining is weakly glued and the lining may come unglued. Now when you load a card it may catch on the lining making it hard for you to do the load. The owners of the wallet may know what I am talking about. I brought this to PenguinMagic's attention and they took care of this issue. (Great customer service!).

I did not want to keep this in my "unused magic" drawer so I experimented on how to solve this wallet's issue. At first I tried to add clear acetate in the card loading area but it warped the shape of the wallet and the load still was not smooth. I finally settled on using black color "Gear Aid Repair Tape", the ones you use for tent repair. I applied tape to the inner side and outer side of the loading compartment (I applied tape like a U shape). This solved my issue of loading the card in the hidden compartment because there is no more lining where it can get caught (because it is covered by the tape). The gear aid tape blends well with color of the wallet.

Otherwise, this is a superb product that should not be overlooked. If carrying a minimalist wallet is what you "everyday carry", then this item should be a great choice for you.
