The Wallet Transformer - Cameron Francis

Postby Johnny Bravo » Sep 2nd, '13, 13:30



The Effect
(The blurb copied from Alakazam site)
An ingenious gimmick that turns ANY normal wallet (with at least one credit card slot) into a 'Signed Card To Wallet' utility.

The Wallet Transformer allows you to show a single playing card tucked inside your wallet. In the cleanest manner imaginable you pull the card out to show that it is the SIGNED card belonging to your spectator that everyone believed was lost in the deck.

NO ELASTIC THREAD. NO RUBBER BANDS.

Cameron Francis has created an incredible solution to the 'gaffed wallet' syndrome - you know that crazy need to buy heavily gaffed wallets so that you can perform 'signed card to wallet'. With The Wallet Transformer you can make ANY wallet into a performing beast. You can move the gimmick from wallet to wallet. You can be prepped and ready to perform one of the strongest effects in magic at any time.
The gimmick can be fitted into ANY wallet (with at least a single credit card slot).
The gimmick can be moved between different wallets in seconds.
Makes performing 'Signed Card To Wallet' incredibly easy!
Fits in hip wallets, checkbook style wallets and dress wallets
Package comes with two gimmicks, so you have a spare (or can prepare TWO wallets!)
No Elastic thread, No rubber bands

Cost
£20.00

Difficulty

Review
I spotted this on the card collection site, watched the video & bought it. Glad I did.
It's a lovely little gimmick that should work in most wallets.
There are 2 easy moves you'll need to be able to do plus card control.

The gimmick will last for ages & will take no more than 5 minutes to create.
In fact I am going to make my own using a old genuine credit card.

The beauty of this is it can be added to any wallet with a spare credit card slot & will fit most hip & cheque book size wallets.
And once you know what the gimmick is it can be tailor made for your own wallets, to some degree.

However I think I am going to have a problem fitting it into my wallet.
My wallet looks like this:-

Without giving too much away this makes it hard for me to get the card from A to B. But that's my fault for having this type of lift up credit card flap wallet.

The DVD covers everything required & also gives 2 effects to use.

Overall
Very very nice, will be adding this to another wallet of mine this week if I can't figure out how to get it into my regular one.
8 / 10 :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
