What a fantastic idea! It works perfect, exactly what I was looking for. I'd also like to throw in that if you use a little bit of black electrical tape on the end of the slide, it makes for a nice little tab to grab and pull the slide out so you can get ready for the effect at moment's notice with a quick visit to your back pocket. Even though the tab sticks out from the loading compartment, it is hardly visible at all, and even if you do see it, it looks like it might just be part of the wallet.

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

Mine arrived quickly from World of Magic, thumbs up for that! Quality is good, although it should be stressed that there is nowhere to keep coins securely in the wallet. Doesn't take long to make a slide - I taped my business card onto some black plastic, so that when I pull out their card, by business card is there looking all shiny :) .
On a small technical note, I found that the playing card and slide were catching on the lower inside seam of the wallet, meaning that the edge of the card was visible from the front when opening the wallet, somewhat revealing the opening. It didn't happen every time, but enough times to make it annoying. To fix this small annoyance I have stuck a piece of (cut to half width) black electrical tape along the inside of the seam (the seam nearest the middle of the wallet on the inside of the window bit), stuck partly to the inside of the window to cover the seam, and that has worked a treat to help the card to slide all the way in unhindered by that pesky seam...
I was working a wedding last Saturday, and thought I'd try it out as a nice ending to the ACR, and I was actually taken back by how much of a reaction the effect produced. I load with a normal palm, not the gamblers cop method which doesn't seem to be much cop to me! and it worked every time with only 1 day of practice ( and some faffing with electrical tape) prior to the gig.
So 8.5/10 from me as I would have liked somewhere to keep my coins securely in the wallet, and I had to make a slide and stick some tape on to make it work perfectly. But very pleased with it on the whole... Already getting used to keeping coins in my pocket as I want to have this wallet on me at all times...

I love the Real Man's wallet. I've been using it as my everyday wallet for over two years. The leather is fine quality, I have no trouble with loads and everything I need fits into it.

It does not hold coins, but in the US this is not an issue as no one puts coins in their wallet (we don't have as many coins as you guys do).
