F1 Nitro Wallet by Pete Nardi, Jason Rea, and Alakazam Magic

Effect

The F1 Nitro Wallet is a magic prop that allows a magician to perform a card-to-wallet routine without palming. A spectator selects a card, signs it, and loses it in the deck. The magician then reveals that the signed card has impossibly appeared inside the wallet. Some versions of the routine also include a visual transformation where a blank or phantom card changes into the signed selection.

Full Details
