Since I could not buy the Slim Clip in Germany I have decided for this solution, which
I currently like even better but only the practical test will show whether it works well. Click here to view attached image. |

I cannot see how how magic dusts find will work better.
The whole point of this is to remove and replace the stack of cards smoothly and quickly. Looks a nightmare to pull the stack of cards out of that wallet. That imo is the whole point of the clip and the other sides natural ruse in the psychology of the spectators minds. Anyway if it works for you then good, but I think you are missing the point with this truly great idea Gaz

Gaz, I think the slim wallet Magic Dust attached might have a pull tab to make getting the stack of cards out relatively easily. When you pull the tab, the cards will sorta pop out, so you're not fishing around trying to get your fingers into the pocket.
Magic Dust, I'd like to hear if it works for you as I like this style of wallet as well. |

With the leather style wallets you would usually have them place their card amongst your cards WITHOUT removing them from the wallet. This is similar to the Alias Wallet and others. Yes, it will still work with a leather style wallet but audiences might feel something wasn’t quite right without realizing what or why, just as you did when choosing to use that style of wallet. |

There are many many ways to get a peek on a business card by using some sort of a prop. One has the choice and liberty to use any kind of prop (or without a prop) to achieve the final result. However, the point in question here is - How good is a 'Money Clip' when used as a prop for a peek? And the 'Money Clip' has undoubtedly proved to be one of the BEST readily available commercial item that can be used as a prop for our purpose (with no modification to the Clip at all) - Simple, cheap, easy, straightforward, innocent looking, deceptive, organic, . . . . and the list goes on-n-on . . .
Just MY thoughts.

Besides, I have never seen such a metal clip in use here in Germany, so rather suspect ... |

There's no reason why the same thinking can't be applied to other types of clips or wallets. People can and should find a clip or wallet of their liking and find a way to use it. I'm delighted to see some are doing just that. . |

My steel clip arrived today and it works wonderfully.
It’s a truly great gesture of Bill to share his creative work to something that is so usable for every magician imho Gaz
