Jack, do you know if this is indeed the same of the Berg wallet?
I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death my right to say "scr*w you" if you persist. [Voltaire Smile]

Can anyone answer if it's angle sensitive in the same manner as the telethought wallet?

Paperinick, I'm not familiar with the Berg wallet, sorry. Robvs, I'm not familiar with the telethought wallet either. But I will attempt to give you an idea of the secret by a story:

A man is walking his dog and stops to purchase a hotdog. The vendor puts a tasty frank between two fresh soft buns and covers it with fresh condiments. Unbeknownst however, his dog has also spotted the frank poking out the end, moves his head forward and nips the frank at its exposed part and hangs on. When the man begins walking, the dog remains still which causes the frank to strip out from between the buns. To this day the man has no idea how the frank mysteriously vanished that day.

Peo, if you buy it from Penguin, the shipping is free. Unless Sweden somehow is outside the flat pack deal.

I purchased the wallet based on the video trailer. I returned it because I felt that the trailer was a little misleading on how clean this is. Not a new idea. I purchased a wallet or case that worked in a similar manner in the '70's.

No, it's not a new idea. but the "in-the-jacket" version is brilliant.
just one second, and the card disappear.

It was advertised by Harry Stanley (Unique Magic) in The Gen, June, 1966, as the 'Wonder Wallet'. But obviously it was available from them before then as William Zavis explained his handling in The Gen, July, 1965. It seems that all Mr Maric has done is to add a press-stud and make it look nothing like a real wallet.

Further to my last posting, I have now checked back with The Sphinx. The first advert for Joe Berg's 'Super Wallet' is in the December, 1932, edition on page 418. From the illustration and the description it appears that the Unique 'Wonder Wallet' was indeed the Berg 'Super Wallet'. Both the Berg and the Unique rip-off were made as real wallets though, with pockets for currency notes, etc. The Maric version just looks like an I.D. case.

Anyone know anything about the quality of the wallet?
