Jerry O'Connell does a 'small' no palm card to wallet. However, it is still 6" long, which I think is just a little too big to be used as a hip pocket wallet.

There's a hip pocket Mullica (i.e. no palm) wallet available from there too. Judging by the cards shown in the two photos, that one is a little smaller, maybe by an inch or so.

I think the problem you'll have is that it's pretty hard to get a no palm wallet down smaller than that.

I suppose something like the Stealth Assassin might work too, but it's not primarily designed for card to wallet. It will work, though. Also, while it is possible to use it as a 'proper' wallet, I don't like it for that. I keep it as a business card and credit card holder.

If you fancy a Stealth Assassin, I'd go directly to Alakzam, especially as there's a newer version out now. I think the original has been discontinued.

Of the three, the only one I have used is the Stealth Assassin Wallet. It's very good, but not really designed for card to wallet. You'd need to know a bit about the effect, in order to use the SAW with it. Also, it's twice the price of either of the other wallets. You get more for it, but it's primarily a mentalist's item.

My standard advice (which I should probably put in my signature at this rate...) : learn to palm, get a Real Man's Wallet by Steve Draun.

Sorted.

you started another thread about this recently in the support and tips section which yielded some advice on wallets for you.

The small plus wallet, as mentioned, is still 6 inches or so long.
There is, however, a billfild wallet on the same page ( http://www.topsecretmagic.co.uk/JerryOConnell.html ) although currently out of stock.

I may be seing Jerry next week so can ask him if you like if there are more being made of the billfold size, unless you decide upon another wallet entirely.

not a fan of sigs, so I won't bother adding o..... oh
:oops:

I might be wrong, but I don't think Jerry's billfold wallet is 'no palm'.

While the current version might be out of stock, Top Secret has currently got one of Jerry's original billfold wallets in the 'second hand' section, although without instructions.

I just bought Jerry's billfold wallet in the last two weeks so it definately is available. Drop him an email!

The wallet is in my pocket now and very nice it is too, although I have found that the credit cards tend to slip out a little. A quality piece nonetheless.

And by the looks of my recent bank balance it clearly makes money disappear too :shock:

Forgive my naivety with the terminology, I'm new to magic so I'm easily confused. Actually I'm easily confused anyway. I think you want to know whether you need to palm to get the card into the wallet? Yes is the answer to that.

Hope this helps, if not ask again.

Best
