WONDER WALLET by Father Brennan

Postby Allen Tipton » Mar 28th, '12, 18:17



I have just come across Wonder Wallet with instructions by Father Brennan, in Tannen's 1990's catalogue No. 18

It is an ungimmicked wallet. Card to Wallet with a zipper compartment
Described as 'beautifully made of genuine leather'. It sold THEN at $49-50.

Not to be confused with another USA 'Wonder Wallet', described by magicians as 'more like a small envelope made of paper!'

Does anyone have any knowledge of or info on this please?--not the secret--I can guess most of that--just anything about it

Yes it is. There are other tricks with Fr Brennan's name attached.

THINK -- one was put out byu Geoff maltby's Repro Co.
I read that he did a lot of 'good works' with people..and used magic as he talked or whatever he was doing at the time
Oned involved readings--from books to ???? cannot remember to whom.

Fascinating find G. Although $50 for Dushek's Wunder Bar & that was reduced is a bit pricey!

I bought the same model from Edwin at £3.

Did you do anything about joining the Magic Society?

Yes everything is going to plan at the moment Allen.. In the process of getting my web site up and running and then a holiday with the wife and then will be making contact with the society. Hopefully around early May?
