Thanks for posting the video! Looks great. Now I'm probably totally far off but the mechanics of the wallet reminds me of the old dice through mirror effect with a strong locking mechanism. Now as I said I am probably wrong and in no way am I trying to fish for the method but while he's doing the dirty work it just looks like that's what would be happening. But I really like the looks of the wallet and the fact that you can carry a couple atm/debit cards along with money and your license.

Just noticed that this is actually a T11 product, so the quality is likely going to be pretty nice.

I'm not sure about this one. I'd like to see a performance before I make a final judgement. Although, I am pretty certain about the method. However, if I am correct it can be somewhat limiting to predominantly drawing duplication's and the principle generally works better in well-lit rooms. But my main issue is that I'm not keen on the appearance of the wallet because it looks a bit 'cluttered' for my taste. In fact, if I were the spectator I'd probably want to feed my business card under the money clip for safe-keeping. But obviously, this may not be of a concern to others.

It looks... alright. For an extra $40 I'd go with the viper. It is my go-to mentalism wallet. Superior leather quality and construction, no plastic id windows, and has a SUC which is preferable for peeking numbers and words. It is the perfect size for me since I don't carry cash anyway. Also, the way Colin holds the wallet in the video when the card is inserted looks slightly constrained. I don't think many, in the heat of the moment, would use this peek for anything but simple drawings. Some friends and acquaintances have minimalist wallets as such but I've always prefered the look of a slim, bifold leather wallet.

An important consideration for me is the length of time you get for your peek. I do not like to feel rushed or constrained by just peeking drawings. For this reason I'll be sticking to Blink, which has never let me down and is also ideal for carrying my business cards.

Hmm "with practice they could write a name" I guess the practice would be being able to read a mirrored word?

I did not care too much for Viper but I ordered Alias Wallet since it would be very interesting to learn Collin's handling and psychological subtleties.

I also like that it's resistant to poorer lighting conditions. I often find myself in low-light performing conditions and the last thing you want is to have to strain to view the information. |

LIke many of you, I'm fairly happy with my current peek systems. However, I am considering this solely for Cloud's thinking and psychology. Tough choice. If he released just his routining and thinking as a $25 dollar download without the wallet, I would buy it in a second.

Anybody know the release date for this wallet? I could not find anything on the sales page.

Seeing how the packaging indicates that this is actually a Theory11 release (so this is Colin's product which is being produced and released by Theory11), I suspect that Theory11 will also start carrying it shortly after. |

I don’t know what planet Colin is on but I don’t think anyone will be performing for “Real” people anytime soon !
I assume he now lives in USA as this wallet is zero use in the UK with our plastic notes |

I can do the routine exactly as decribed with the Undercover Wallet by Andy Nicholls.

The wheel being reinvented again. If you need a wallet to perform a drawing effect, your are doomed. If you collect wallets, support Colin.
