I'll take that as a No then :)

How does it compare to Mark Strivings SUC ?


No gaffed wallet is fully examinable including the Stealth assassin and the SUC (which is not sold anymore, but can occasionally be found on ebay for an absurdly ridiculous price)

I've used my wallet for 3 years and no one has ever asked to look at it.

If spectators are asking to examine your wallet, you're doing something seriously wrong.

Very occasionally when using my stealth wallet people suspect the wallet or ask to examine it afterwards.

Then again - why should you put a business card back into the wallet at all ? I know we can build patter around it but logically they should just hold onto the card themselves, or not even write their thought down in the first place

If there was one thing I would change...

The outlaw is a fine business card wallet, with ONE problem. not enough business card capacity! If Rick could find a way to incorporate a gusset into the wallet to allow for a decent qty of business cards to be held, the outlaw wallet would upgrade from good to MAGNIFICENT!

Please consider this Rick, it would make your fine wallet even more real world useable.

The Outlaw Magnum is coming soon. A bi-fold wallet with 5 credit card/business card pockets and a hidden pocket for folded cash.

Aw, is this discontinued? I really need a business card holder, one that will enable me to flash two ID cards kind of like a cop in a movie (I'll spare you the details but I have specific reasons for needing to be able to open a simple, slim wallet and flash the face of two ID cards -- already own other wallets such as a JOL so not looking for any other kind of wallet), and this seems like the perfect wallet for that, but as far as I could tell it's no longer on the Outlaw website.

Anyone know of any other kind of BUSINESS CARD HOLDER (not proper wallet!) or ID CARD HOLDER with a peek?

Or maybe this is still available someplace, ideally UK (reawaking this thread in the hope that it is)?

Thanks for any help,

Laurence

This might sound silly, but why not just cut a hole onto the back?

Have been thinking that. I can't remember quite how the Outlaw is/was structured (I vaguely recall owning one for a short while) but I'd like the hole to be hidden.

I've found an old ID wallet of mine, it has two windows inside when you open it out, and a third window on the outside. If I removed the lining between the two windows I'd be able to see, but so would the spectator. Well, I guess I could just put it straight into my pocket, but it would be great if I could casually leave the wallet on the table (if seated).

But then again, maybe you just want the victim to forget about the wallet and the fact that they drew the image? Referring to it with the whole, 'Now, you're thinking of an image...', rather than 'Now, you've drawn an image...'

Maybe it's difficult to do that if the wallet is out on the table.

Paul Brook's "Book of Lies" has a great business card/peek suggestion that gives you full justification for your actions and perfect cover. I use it all the time now at corporates and it's genius. Highly recommended.

Awesome. It just uses the business cards or it requires a peek wallet?

It sounds good. Problem is, I really like to use the card to wallet principle, both in my magic _and_ in my mind reading. From the description, it doesn't sound like it has card to wallet:

http://www.outlaw-effects.com/store/the ... deout.html

Maybe there's a similar Outlaw Effects wallet that has a peek as good as this one but also has card to wallet?

I'm having a nose around on the Outlaw Effects website...

Otherwise maybe I'd need one of the Peter Nardi wallets. I don't want anything larger than a billfold though, if possible.

Just jumping on this bandwagon I have a similar question to ask, although in asking it, in answer to the The Devil's Tailor, I know the Showdown Wallet (Outlaw's equivalent to Alakazam's Infinity Wallet) has a peek and card to wallet... What I'd like to know is whether the Showdown caters for a card to envelope (in wallet)?

I'm going to purchase as part of a bundle of 4 effects from Outlaw (Rick has offered a great package discount as well as some ebooks thrown in), which I intend to pick up after selling bits n bobs on fleabay, and after an exam (no distractions till then), so certainly would consider multiple purchases to save overall money, or at least drop an email.

If no to above as to the envelope, if anyone has used Showdown, how good is it for loads? As an alternative I may choose Pantera instead of Showdown (just cos it's cheaper, though know it has a completely different function to Showdown). I've heard Infinity is very large. The Jerry O'Connell Small sounds good, but I think Showdown has more features. I'm new to wallets, so am out on a limb in terms of knowing exactly what they're capable of, but want one (as opposed to need) based purely on CUPS.
