Does it really matter?

The vast majority of CTW's will have exactly the same final effect - in the hearts and minds of the spectator(s).

In fact, producing the wallet from your pocket is actually a LOT stronger, than having a wallet on the table - that you've been hovering the bloody pack constantly over the top of!

As an aside, I thought that entire presentation was mind-numbingly boring, if I'm being brutally honest. "Put it here, move it there" jeeeeezus.......just bloody get on with it!

I had the exact same thought User101, but watching this version: https://youtu.be/p0xaZIUk0g8?t=175
The photo switch I had no trouble with, but I completely missed the load on first watch.
I spent a little time trying to google the wallet with no luck.

Ty, Rupert!

You "don't like palming"?

In other words, what you really mean is that you can't be bothered practicing to learn the Art and basic principles of Card Magic?

I give up.

By the way, I do know what the wallet is - but given your terse reply, you can jog on.

Is being so easily offended part of your "no holds barred" British manner?

I think someone cut a section out of the video…and that’s why everybody keeps missing the load.

The load is there in both videos. I'd say much more obvious in the one User101 posted, but still very deceptive. I personally love the method/misdirection. Very natural and strong way to take heat off the wallet/hide the load.

Yeah, you can see many videos online of Asi doing this sequence. It's stellar in his hands.

Errrr yeah. Truly, a logical, 'stellar' performance!

Asi Wind has all the personality and charisma of a dial tone - but clearly, some 'Magicians'(?) are oh so easily impressed these days.

In this setting performing just for the interviewer, I thought his personality was just fine. Far from a dial-tone. Depends on the venue.
Being charasmatic here would have been over the top in my opinion. I agree there was some editing to make it look so smooth.
Guilt will betray you before technique betrays you!
