THE BLURB:
Following the worldwide success of the Stealth Assassin, we
have had countless requests for a peek wallet that
incorporates a good card to wallet, a peek and will fit in
the back pocket.

With over two years of development, after much design and
numerous prototypes The Infinity Wallet is finally
available. This clever all-in-one wallet is the answer to a
working magicians dream...

What can The Infinity Wallet do for me?

* Card to wallet
* Peek device
* Multiple-outs
* Switching wallet
* Index system

What does the wallet look like?

All of the above features are cleverly built into with a
stylish, natural looking bill-fold wallet that fits neatly
into your back pocket and has been designed and crafted from
the ground up in quality black leather.

How do I learn what to do with the Infinity Wallet?

On the accompanying DVD Peter Nardi goes through each
section of the wallet explaining its specific function in
full detail before moving on to discuss specific routine
ideas.

We have made every effort to combine the best principles of
multiple wallets to create this "Swiss army" wallet that
will satisfy the needs of those of you that want to
incorporate mentalism, card magic and the superb principles
of the Shogun (Heirloom) wallet into one neat and modern
device.

A few of the routines included on the DVD include:

The Wager

A deck of cards are dealt face up on to the table by the
spectator. They stop dealing at any point and you remove a
single note from your wallet. Written on the back of the
note is the name of the selected card!!

Blag

Your spectators driving license is placed in an envelope and
given to them to hold. After a little by-play you ask them
to open the envelope and sitting inside is now your
license!!! You remove your wallet and sealed within a closed
pocket is your spectators' license! This routine comes with
handlings for both the envelope version and a totally
impromptu version

Serial Shogun

Three notes/bills of different denominations are borrowed
from 3 separate spectators. A forth spectator has a totally
free choice of which note he/she chooses and you are able to
reveal the serial number!!! This is a great effect you can
perform in almost any setting!!!

There is also a wealth of other ideas, routine suggestions
and handling tips on the DVD and you will be inventing and
working on your own in no time!

The possibilities of the Infinity Wallet are vast, making it
an ideal "carry everywhere" tool that means you will always
be prepared to mystify!


REVIEWS


"This is a beautiful, multi-purpose wallet which can be used
for a multitude of effects and carried effortlessly in one�s
rear trouser pocket, then used for seemingly impromptu
miracles. It's a beauty. "
Matthew Field, The Magic Circular Magazine 2/1/2011

MY COMMENTS:
As you might expect, you're not purchasing this for the
routines on the disc, which aren't groundbreaking in any
way, but for the well-made prop. One can debate combining a
card-to-wallet with a mentalist's wallet, but the conclusion
reached is one of personal preference.

Let me describe the wallet as best I can. Unlike the
Stealth Assassin, this actually looks like a men's hip style
wallet. At least, it looks more like the style that I see
here in the United States. The wallet itself is built on
the design of the Shogun, which is a switching wallet.

When you open the wallet, there are three slots for credit
cards or other items on the left side. The other side has
what looks to be a separate I.D. wallet that snaps closed.
When you unsnap it, it reveals a window. This is the
card-to-wallet feature which is based on Steve Draun's Real
Man's Card to Wallet. The card will actually appear in the
window.

Unfortunately, this is all I can describe without giving
away methodologies, but it does have the window peek feature
and several indexing features built-in.

Personally, I like the look and feel of this wallet a lot
more than the Stealth Assassin Wallet. The trade-off with
this wallet is there is no SUC design built-in, but the
card-in-wallet and peek functions will allow one to load and
glimpse information, respectively. For the peek, one will
have to open the wallet, of course.

The package contains the wallet and a one-hour (approx.)
instructional DVD in which Peter Nardi explains the
workings: the Shogun, the card-to-wallet, the peek, the
indexing, and a few sample routines. If this wallet sounds
like something you can use, then you will use it and it will
serve you well. It is an excellent wallet and highly
recommended if this wallet has the features you need.
