I've had the Mesika wallet for about a year and love it. It does require a folded card, but I've grown to actually
prefer it that way. It is my everyday wallet and works great for that also. One last thing, my wife and I were recently in Belgium and it holds Euro's fine also. |

Fortunately I have no problems using the Real Man's Wallet with our currency. I've been using it for a few years now and really love it as it's quite uncommon here to have a wallet of the longer variety in the inside jacket pocket. With some thought I believe one can also have the card appear in a small envelope as well. A little tight, but possible perhaps.
The reveal is just great and it's a nice moment when the compartment is popped open and the card is there - pull it out slightly and then let them remove it.

I bought the Royal wallet from Frank when they were still being made. I love this wallet. I have used it as my everyday wallet ever since I got it. Unfortuantely, with summer heat, rainstorms, wear and tear, just like a real wallet, this one is getting a bit limp and tattered. I would love to buy two or three more of these if they were available. They are pretty much perfect for how I like the wallet to be and how I do the effect.

I am interesting in the Hip Pocket Mullica...
Other than it being half the size, what is the other main difference from the standard Mullica Wallet? I am guessing the load works primarily the same way, thus the Mullica name. Thanks. RevJohn |

I had the same problem and searched and searched to find the right wallet for me, and then finally found what I was looking for, and a friend of mine also loved these wallets. We got the rest of their stock on those wallets, and now we know they don't produce those types of wallets any more, so when my 2 wear out to an unusable condition, I will have to look for another wallet that is smiler or we wear thinking of getting them made!!
Thanks. Tom. |

I use a regular wallet with a double back card in it - control card to top, reveal the wallet, peel the card out onto the deck, DL and hand out card.
Noone seems to care that they didn't remove the wallet themselves. And it gives good practice in ditching the gaff card. |

Im using the JOC Plus small, it's a very very very very cool wallet!
Just a lil big for a young guy like me, but still I get away with it. |

Then said that "it's not really making them disappear though" and switched in the omni deck leaving only signed card on top. I was very proud of myself for that little bit of impromptu. It was probably the best reaction I've ever had. |

I hate the wallet I'm using now. There never seems to be enough money in it.

I LOVE the JOL No Palm Wallet. The new one is not made exactly the way mine is (I like the layout of mine better) but it's a great CTW. Is a signed card, loads in a SPLIT SECOND. Almost no skill required. Looks great, and kills them.
In my opinion, an envelop is overkill. YES, it's a GREAT effect with an envelope, but I've never had a lacking reaction without it. Their signed card is still in a zipper compartment in the wallet. You can find it at http://www.wizardcraft.com/OConnellJOL.htm Go about half way down the page. |

Notice on the attached you tube video a few presentations on Card to Wallet.
Interesting thing for me is that Alex Elmsleys which looks like pure sleight of hand looks like the smoother of the lot !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l2Cd5Lc2cg |

Favorite Wallet= Yigal and Mesika's. Its the one I have.
I've held and played with multiple wallets. None of them are as sleek and real as Y&Ms. It looks so normal. Its the only wallet I use. Its my actual wallet that I use everyday as well. I can show all the sides. Even the insertion point looks like its part of the wallet. Like that's how its naturally stitched. Although I VERY rarely put cards back there...I put people's rings back there. It engages the people more because its something that belongs to them. Its a very strong routine and even if I don't want the applause (which I don't) I always get it after I do this effect. Its a perfect closer and you end it with "I now have all your credit cards, thank you. Have a good night" Persist. Chris Brown
