Flite started out as an E exclusive but was eventually carried by some UK dealers (I know Alakazam has it). I wonder if this will be the same if popular enough?

That said I would probably opt to lose the wallet transformer if I would still be able to perform a card to wallet without that feature ? If using the standard method for card to wallet does it require a s***e and can other items such as rings be loaded into the wallet ? Once again thanks for your input it's much appreciated |

At first glance, if putting cash in the Hermès and I didn’t wish to use the money clip, I would probably put cash in that compartment with the pull out tab. Seems kind of handy to pull your cash out of it. The notes would have to be folded of course but that is the same with a money clip.
Money clips seem to be everywhere these days so it would kind of a surprise if so few use them in the UK. Of course I am only basing that on the ads I see all the time. I don’t really see many actual wallets in use to know what people are mostly using here in the US. Are you saying it would be suspicious to use a money clip in the UK? Not following your point that if no one uses them then you wouldn’t either. Is it due to the size/type of your notes? If not, then maybe more use them than you are aware. |

I think its because in the UK a lot of people don’t use any cash at all only cards.
However the ones who rarely use cards like me carry about £500 cash (minimum) around all the time so a decent wallet is required if using one at all. I don’t use my magic wallets as EDC anyway so as long as I can show the odd couple of notes in their visibly (ie not hidden in an unseen compartment) I don’t mind as much Gaz 😊 |

Hey Warren! So for the card to wallet there are three methods: there is the method with the Transformer, that is no palm, there is a method similar to the real mans wallet, where it ends up in the ID section, and then there is the “main” method which is where it ends up in between two credit cards (as you can see in the trailer). For the last two methods, there is nothing additional you need, other than what you already have in your wallet. As for the ring, you could in theory do it in the compartment with the pull tab inside an envelope, however as it was not designed specifically for that you run the risk of stretching the leather. So if you are comfortable dedicating that section for the ring only, then in theory it should work. I would recommend however that you stick to plain wedding bands.
Personally though if I’m doing a ring to impossible location, I prefer keeping my wallet for other stuff and using a ring flight for ring magic

I have seen them apart from magic wallets but never anyway holding any money in them Gaz 😊

This is different though as it’s internal and even the clip is internal so it doesn’t appear like a money clip from the outside. Even when opening briefly as your notes can be fully open it passes as a normal billfold type wallet imo Gaz 😊

I’ve seen many money clip wallets in the USA. I guess it depends on who you hang with, people that tie their money in a rubber band or keep it tidy with a money clip. Haha.

Maybe you asked 3 friends or noticed a couple people at the grocery store? Especially when you don’t even claim that they are simply less common but that they are not used at all. I think there is a whole lot of hypothesizing going on here without any statistical data to back it up. |

They simply do not and if you feel awkward about it and then handle it awkwardly because you are self conscious about it, they will pick up on that but again, that's not because seeing a money clip is inherently suspicious. Here are mainstream options from well recognized brands: https://www.tumi.com/p/money-clip-card-c......QAvD_BwE https://www.zegna.com/us-en/product.erme......rc=aw.ds https://www.coach.com/money-clip/23833.h......QAvD_BwE https://www.farfetch.com/shopping/men/pa......QAvD_BwE https://www.mrporter.com/en-us/mens/prod......rc=aw.ds https://www.saksfifthavenue.com/product/......rc=aw.ds https://www.montblanc.com/en-us/credit-c......rc=aw.ds https://www.coachoutlet.com/products/mon......QAvD_BwE https://www.tumi.com/p/monogram-patch-mo......QAvD_BwE https://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/p/tom-fo......rc=aw.ds I understand the argument of "Who would spend such crazy money on such things?!?" but that's not a argument of these things being suspicious of being a prop or not. That's more of a argument of personal taste in style and display of wealth/pompousness (depends on your perspective). It really confuses me that people still are hung up about the concept of a minimalist wallet and/or money clip. It's not suspicious. There's no heat on it. People know what it is. They might think you're a snob but they most likely will not suspect that the wallet is suspect as a magic prop. The only non-magic wallet I own is a $300+ Zegna wallet that I've had for over a decade. It has a money clip in the spine on the inside. These types of wallets have been a thing for a long long long long time. They are not odd and out of place looking and feeling wallets. Normal people do not see one and thing that it's weird and must be suspicious as a magic prop. The only reason I stopped using that wallet is that the metal piece which is exposed on the bottom corner of the wallet has worn holes in the back pockets of 4 pairs of pants before I decided to stop using it Look, if these types of wallets do not fit your personal stylistic/wardrobe accessory tastes, fine, but if you are avoiding them because you think they look suspicious, that's really your own internal hangup on the subject rather than these things actually appearing suspicious. |

What I meant was, I am not a young kid (not a senior either) and I have never seen anyone use a money clip. I've seen countless ( I better not hypothesize that, I guess it COULD be counted) wallets with billfod sections, I've also seen a good amount of the newer minimalist wallets that are mostly for credit cards but some have a fangled way of folding bills into them but me personally - have never seen anyone else use them but then again, I have not seen everyone. |

Personally I have never found any wallet big enough for my wad, but you are probably right about the occupations you mention Gaz 😊

Kissdadookie is bang on the money imho, if you act awkward that’s your problem and not the wallet.
Also if you perform for people who have never seen you before they have no idea what sort of wallet you may use anyway. If you do perform for the same people they know you change your wallet more than your shoes so it’s irrelevant anyway as they know it’s a magic performance and presumably enjoy you entertaining them. So yes it’s a cliche but you are running when you are not being chased in older shoes than your wallet imho Gaz 😊 |
