Well,
I believe a lot of people know Joshua very much.
I bought this pro carrier for already 5 months but I've never using them
because where I stay is a hot place, you will always wear a short sleeve.
So does anyone have the experience of this pro carrier?
Or what if you have what you will put in?

Sorry for my poor English.

I went to Penguin Magic and looked at the video of this. It's not worth it. If you want a quality item see frank Starsini at http://theambitiouscard.com

I used it while working a bar about a week ago. I was wearing jeans and a tee so I didn't have much room to carry stuff. I put the pro carrier on my belt, which allowed me to carry an extra deck, some fraud bills, a sharpie, some coins, paperclipped and my business cards. While I'm sure there are other good products out there, this one served me well last week anyway.

The Pro Carrier is a half decent product if you just need it to look nice and carry a deck. For a meer $20 it's a decent price if a deck and business cards is all you want to carry. Just a tip - reinforce the belt loops if you want it to last.

Now, if you want to carry everything you need for strolling - you need to listen to Paddy and check out Frank Starsini's site.

Personally, If I'm working, I've been trying to work entirely from my pockets so I don't have a "carrier" at all. If I do need to carry something attatched to my belt, it's hidden by my jacket, so how it looks doesn't matter to me.
Think inside the box. . . it's less crowded.

I got one of these at a Joshua Jay lecture a couple of years ago. It's okay, if that's the best you can do. Try looking at camera shops and see what kind of cases they have for the small digital cameras. Some of these would be perfect for this kind of thing.

Dustin is right about the belt loops. They didn't last long at all. Outside of that, the case itself is ok for carrying a few things (deck of cards, coins, biz cards, packet trick, etc.) I wouldn't buy another one.

A bit too small for me and the zipper broke the first time I tried it out.

Paddy, thanks for the kudos.

Agreeing about Frank & "The Ambitious Card." I also have bought his strolling pouch & think it's great. I get the feeling you're about to enter the arena of professional magic, so you need top quality props, not "cheapos." I also own two of the pro carriers but for what I do I wear them under a jacket on either side. Frank's pouch may also be there depending on the situation. One of the Pro-Carriers had a belt loop break, so I went to a local dollar store and bought a cheap cell-phone case & cut the clip off with some of the material backing. I 1st glued the material to the center of the back of the carrier & finished off with a large needle & strong thread. Now I can just clip the thing to my belt like Frank's pouch!(I think that's the way Jay should make them, BTW, with a clip, not a couple of belt loops.)

I also bought an extra cell phone case in case the second carrier gives me attitude!

Hmmm, I have had just the opposite. I have used mine for a couple of years and it has been great. No problems. Guess I got lucky?

1st, let me explain; I use the P.P. for hiding out cards that I want to load into my deck at just the right moment, so I keep them out of sight. I could do the same with Frank's Strolling pouch if I need to. However, there's nothing wrong with keeping them in plain sight as well if you're just using them for carrying your props!
Also, look into Jay Sankey's "Assasin's pouch:" http://magic4less.com/Merchant5/merchant......ry_Code=

Whatever you do, don't give up!

One final thought, if you don't want to use the Pro Carrier you might list it for sale here: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewf......=76&1227

Just a thought.
