Small, inexpensive switch wallet recommendations?

Postby MatCult » Apr 5th, '13, 10:38



Hi all,

I've a routine in mind that will need two cards to be switched. Using a small wallet is perfectly justified in the routining.

Can anyone recommend a small, innocent-looking and preferably inexpensive switch wallet?

I've been looking at this:

And this:
http://www.alakazam.co.uk/product-Mini- ... allet.html" target="_blank

There's another mini Himber here:
http://www.cards4magic.co.uk/acatalog/Wallets.html" target="_blank

I know Jerry O'Connell's wallets are amazing, but his mini Himber is over £30 and I can't really justify that.

Would any of you advise any of these options over the others? And are there any alternatives you'd recommend?

Thanks in advance,

Mat.

EDIT: Just seen this for under a tenner, worth a punt?

You can get imitation leather (plastic) Himbers. A quick Google came up with this one, for example:

There seems to be a greater choice if you're in the US, of course.

Or use a gimmicked envelope, perhaps.

The Mini Switch II from your cards4magic link is great. Fully recommended because it's easy to use and doesn't look odd.

Hi all,

An update to this.

Thanks to some excellent advise, I am now the proud owner of Peter Duffie's/Martin Breese's 'Phantom of the Wallet' from here: http://www.abracadabra.co.uk/ . It's beautifully made and seems very good value for money compared to some of the other options out there.

Thanks again to everyone for your input.

Best wishes,

Mathew
