On this DVD, it’s a pleasure to watch the likes of John Mendoza, Alexander deCova, Michael Ammar, Eddie Tullock, Dan Fleshman, Alex Elmsley and Eric DeCampsin action. And if you want to learn such a routine, this DVD offers a good place to begin.
"Bombshell" Wallet & Routine
As the name implies, Mendoza’s “Bendix Bombshell” makes use of the gimmicked wallet of the title to create an astounding no-palm routine. In Mendoza’s routine, two signed cards end up inside of the wallet’s zippered compartment and the wallet has been sitting in plain view. This one is clean and strong.Ammar offers a version where a torn card is found restored inside of his wallet while Elmsley offers clean and different handling. The most commercial routine is Fleshman’s “Momma In My Wallet” that combines “Chicago Opener” with card to wallet to create a stunning card revelation and transposition to an impossible place. This one is really good.
What's in a Wallet?
While it’s useful to view and analyze several routines from stand-out performers, for a true reference on “card to wallet,” however, there needs to be a discussion on the different gimmicked wallets on the market. This way, viewers can understand which wallets work best in certain situations, as well as how much technical skill and misdirection is needed to employ them.Despite this, magicians are bound to find a routine or two that they will like. This DVD provides a strong running start on the topic.
