Nathan, If you are unsure of which wallet why not buy the Jerry Mentzer 'Card To Wallet book'? It has 166 pages and deals with Gimmicked and ungimmicked wallets, + routines. He also deals with variations on the Bendix Bombshell, the Paul le Paul, the Himber and the Mullica wallets. It might help you decide and it will certainly give you much needed information on this classic effect. In the same issue Mark Leveridge has a full page on palming and non palming advantages and great advice on what to consider before you buy a wallet. My own wallet is homemade from an ordinary wallet and incorporates ideas from Roy Johnson's The Policy,( his first book, The Roy Johnson Experience, published by Goodliffe Publications..ie. where Abra mag. comes from) wherein the item is found encased in 2 , stapled, all round, together postcards. In the latest British magic mag., Magicseen (Issue 3 July 2005) there are detailed reviews, with pics, of The Bendix Bombshell, O'Connell's Designer plus & his Billfold wallets, Roy Roth's Ultimate Sealed Envelope Wallet & The Pimpernel Notecase.
