tip on a peek wallet

Postby Beardy » May 20th, '07, 21:38



I know this has been done to death, and there are many decent wallets...my favourite so far being one from outlaw, but I still do not believe that it fits my requirements - though i may be wrong.

i am looking for a wallet that you can use to do multiple things. These are:

peek when the wallet is shut, not *while shutting*
swami directly onto the card while wallet is shut
aplace for notes and debit cards e.t.c

now the widowmaker (i think it is that one) can do this, and it does fulfil all of the requirements thus far.

however, I want to be able to use this as my normal wallet as well, so for that, I would need somewhere for all my change to be, which I do not (though i may be wrong) believe that the widowmaker has. I know it is only a little thing, but if I'm gonna fork out fifty odd quid I want it to be right for me :P

I'm not sure if such a wallet exists, but if it does, could you point me in the correct direction to get it?

cheers all!

Love

Chris

The panther wallet is more like a business card holder it allows you to do all what you want except keep Money in it.

The outlaw I think is a wallety wallet. Do all the same things but is bigger and can keep your cash in. Or if you Like Nardi products you can go with the Stealth assain that is £99.

But at the moment I wont be parted from my panther and Heirloom wallets.

EDIT: You can also steal a billet out of it if you need to.

We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.

And who needs a wallet that can hold money? As magicians, we keep all our money behind the ears of those around us. 8)

What if you got a cheap wallet of your own and cut some holes in it in strategic places to make your own? It would be unexpected because the specs would expect to see a slightly different wallet then your "normal" one.

Boardering of exposure monker. But it has to be logical I use my Panther to hold my business cards in and my Heirloom wallet as a normal wallet.

You could do what you say Monker but if you use a regular size wallet you wouldnt leave it on table, but your business card holder you could and say "ok we shall put it in here out of sight " or what ever. If you get your big ol green back carrying device out you really wouldnt want to leave it on a table would ya.

All so the Panther is very very well made and does the job nicely it even has a zip inside.

The widowmaker has a hidden pocket behind the credit card pockets on the left side.

This pocket will easily hold folded bills or notes or additional business cards.

It is a closed wallet peek and closed wallet PW. You can also load and unload billets.

Even though it is quite small, you can actually load a bike card into the wallet or steal a bike card out.

It was not designed for this feature, but with a little practice it can be done. (without doing a mercury fold)

I made one that serves its purpose from something like this. Cost me $4 USD, not counting the electricians' tape and works just fine.

I'm sorry but that just made me laugh too much

I was thinking about getting a wallet as well, but I'm only doing tricks for friends and family at the moment, and they all know full wll I've got my BMF pulp fiction wallet, so it'd be a little dodgy if suddenly I had a new wallet to do my tricks with. Sounds like it'll definitely be worth an investment worth making in the future though
