Unfortunately that’s where decent leather wins all day everyday. You can tear imitation leather so so easily and one little nick it just then tears almost like a piece of paper.
If you only want to use it literally for performances only you may get away with it for sometime with a lot of TLC. I love my mastermind wallet but just repeatedly putting a elastic band over it while obtaining the peek just peels the outer layer off in no time. I had to reinforce it in those areas which doesn’t look as pretty but I doubt a spectator will notice or care. Another problem with a non leather wallet is the more functions it has the more battering it takes so they just don’t hold up. I don’t know about carbon ones but then they normally look very odd in their design just going on the Shadow wallet option as an example Gaz 😊 |

The Fact is this about the Nexus, much time and effort was put into this wallet, to get it to market. The peek is great, The money clip should not have been made of metal may be a more light material like hard plastic black, or stitched on elastic instead of the money clip if it was made of leather, you could say that the Nexus could have been made with no money clip. But I must say for me the biggest mistake was none leather, I'm 99% sure there would not have been these problems. The fact is it's not a coincidence that many and more are saying there are rips, and the quality is not good, only after much use and 1 year down the line, we will see just how many start to complain about the Nexus.

I am a user of this wallet and for people reading this thread, this might help. I have owned the wallet for a week and used it for 3 performances at the beach and the mall. The peek and card-to-wallet functions flawlessly.
Note that I do not use the OTL principle much with this wallet. With the clip added to the wallet, - The handling and mechanism of the peek are the same with or without the clip. - The CTW handling is easier without the clip. The tutorial also teaches the CTW and other loads without the clip-on. The wallet currently holds the following: - 3 credit cards - 5 + 5 ESP card set - ID - Some gimmicked bills/notes The wallet has no rips or tears. Hope this helps! -Magic Avi

Viper in some respects because it offers a SUC principle like the Shadow (although it’s a different variation on it). The Viper offers 3 other peeks as well and its leather, there are many that do the perfect job. The everyday type wallet with the least effort and a diabolical method and looks like a normal wallet (and it’s leather) that carries notes I like Gerard’s Hi Jaks marginally the best.
I do however like the Viper, any SUC and of course Blink 2.0. For for non wallets I love Insider and underlooked by Arthur Gaz 😊 |

A peek wallet that fits You!
The nexus Wallet fits me! Well, you wonder, what is he talking about? Simple! Take for instance Mr Millers Complete Peek Wallet. A perfect wallet, IF it is natural for you to be seen doing the special wrist-flick movement that, in my opinion, is necessary to do, to get the peek. I mean the special move you do when you close this wallet when the peek is executed. A superb wallet, but the moves? No, it was not a behaviour that I used to do naturally, and clearly signalled to onlookers that SOMETHING suspicious happened at that instant. Good, wallet, but not for ME. Alias Wallet. Also a perfect peek wallet, if, again, the moves necessary to do the peek is moves that fits you. Just one example, the somewhat outstretched arm Colin uses, was not for me, I do not move and behave like that. Colin does. It fits him, not me. I sold this superb wallet too. Now, the Nexus wallet. In my opinion, and all this ranting is only as I see it, the "Nexus moves" work for me. The movements to get this wallet to work fits ME, MY way to behave and move. In conclusion: To chose equipment that fits your personality is said many times. It is all there is to it. At least as.... well... something.... |

Both the wallets offer an excellent peek where you don't need to go back to the wallet. However, I use the delayed peek for the nexus and the shadow. This offers you to show both sides of the shadow wallet also cleanly. The shadow wall allows me to get peek of 2-3 billets also if needed, however the nexus does not. The shadow peek is head on and direct, so it is a cleaner and comfortable peek. The nexus wallet has a viper peek touch to it and is quicker. It will work for short words or even drawings. I would use the Shadow for a Q/A routine. Shadow has a thought of ctw whereas the nexus has a CTW. Both are wins for me. -Magic Avi

My Jaks is a trifold, it’s marketed by Gerard Kearney and is specifically called the Hi-Jak wallet.
It’s no bigger than any of the others mentioned at all when closed, it’s brilliant Gaz 😊 |

I have not (had) The Viper but it is almost the same as Paul Carnazzo's wallet (forgot the name) and his Pac Stack that I have. Great thinking but I did not feel comfortable to use their necessary "movement patterns". for ME that is. A horizontal Alias, in a sort. The Shadow,(and the forrunner, forgot the name again) uses the fi'''r that I had problems with, angels and low light for exampåe. But Nexus works for me, simple as that! |

The prioritization is based on your requirements. The deceptiveness of the peek is also dependent on the routine and the performer. Nexus has 7 different peeks and I would say 4 out of the 7 are very deceptive for my use case. Other people might have different opinions based on their handling and comfort. - All 3 wallets can be placed in the spectator's hands. - If leather is an important requirement, the shadow is a great buy. The peek is deceptive and clean. I personally don't use the fi**** because it is hard for me to see it during a performance and it also matters on lighting conditions. If you are looking for the best wallet and are ready to shell out $$$, then check out Pro Mystic. ~Magic Avi

On Jun 1, 2021, Thomas Walter wrote: Just to clarify as some people here may get the wrong idea - The Carnazzo Annihilation wallet is not "almost the same as" as the Viper wallet. You have to OPEN the Carnazzo wallet to get the peek or leave it open after the business card has been put inside and move parts of the wallet while it is open to get the peek. The Viper wallet peek is obtained in the motion of simply moving the wallet out of the way while it is closed. The Viper wallet is never open when the peek is obtained, So they are not similar at all. The Carnazzo Annihilation wallet is not a horizontal Alias. You can't get the real time peek that you get with the Alias wallet while the spectator is returning their card.

In other words, the lookout wallet is a direct peek of the card whereas all the other versions mentioned in the original post use an indirect view of the information. That being said, you are correct in that the actions of the peek are similar with the Lookout wallet. Keep in mind that the Lookout wallet looks like a deck carrying case.

You can in fact, get the p**K with the wallet closed, as you would with an Acid**. And, as well, you can hace a real time peek meanwhile the spectator is putting the billet in the wallet, and it could be on the table! (no like the alias). I know, this thread is not about this hahahaha, but if someone reading this has an anihillation in his drawer, you might givi it a try with some new handlings. I stopped using it 1. too bulky 2. SUC doesn´t work that well 3. Needed money so I sold it. Now, with the nexus, it probably looks modern, it seems that more quality concerns are coming up. So, having the money well spent in carnnazos wallets, alacazam, strivings, christopher, secret tannery, JOL,... leather, after all (even tough the razor held up very well being fake leather), seems a better idea. But I won´t give my final though until I can touch the nexus, but... no cash hahahahaha |
