No only in a pretend pub merely thought of.

Storm there are loads of great methods, the factor is your presentation.

I think when it comes to methods of drawing dupes it would be also beneficial to think about what kind of performer you want to be along with the kind of places you will tend to perform in.

If your a close up worker then taking into consideration logical things such as pocket space is something I think would be wise to do. Especially if your someone that doesn't want to be wearing suit jackets or carrying around a close-up case. In this circumstance it may be unwise to take an impression pad out and about with you due to limited pocket space. Alternatively you may find solice in a peek wallet or even just using a stack of business cards and performing some bold business.

Of course if you are only just starting out in magic then you may be more inclined to performing for friends or family, meaning often that you may be caught unawares in social situations and won't have your favourite Impression pad to hand. So your trusty 'normal wallet' would come in useful here.

Of course, If you are a newbie I'd advise buying books rather than props inorder to find out the different ways in which you could do a drawing dupe and then working with the knowledge you have to ascertain what's best for you.

There is by no means the best drawing dupe or impression device out there. They all come down to personal preference.
