The Stealth Assasin is one of the most useful wallets on the market and I know many magicians that use it with great succsess, most mistakes or getting caught usually come down to a guilty or a bad performer.

Agreed 100 per cent. If you use misdirection, instead of relying on the prop, you're cleaner than clean and the wallet is essentially invisible.

No need to 'shout' johny, we hear what you say well enough in lower case....

for this very reason the sanctum card was invented, it gives you an excuse to put it back in your wallet and gives you several mentalist tools on one card.

Plenty of layman know marked decks exist,yet they remain a very powerful weapon. What about the 'must be up the sleave' cliche, yet a routine which involves sleaving can fool anybody'including magicians'.
Its all about the routine. I have never been caught using the stealth, and trust me half the people i have performed it for would have gladly let me know.

Bertoneski - love the idea of a Schroedinger's Cat presentation for sponge balls! Might have to have a play with that myself...!

Thought this seemed like a bump-worthy thread.

What are your thoughts now?

Ste.

For me (currently, at least), I'd go for:

1) Digital Dissolve (STILL my absolute favourite effect, after about 4 years of constant use!)
2) Strange Travellers (just re-released by cards4magic, I see!)
3) Any Signed Card From any Spectator's Wallet
4) ProFlite (simple yet so hard-hitting)
5) Heirloom (just such great imagary, with a killer climax)
