Object to Impossible Location by Mark Traversoni and Saturn Magic

Effect

The Object to Impossible Location effect allows a magician to make a small object, such as a ring, coin, or folded playing card, vanish and reappear inside a sealed envelope within their wallet. The wallet appears completely ordinary, with no visible gimmicks, making the effect highly deceptive.

Full Details

The Everyday Wallet is designed to facilitate this effect without requiring complex mechanisms. It includes a zippered compartment where pre-prepared envelopes can be stored. These envelopes are simple to make—requiring only scissors and rubber cement—and can hold small objects securely. The wallet has six card slots, a large interior pocket, and comes with envelopes and plastic pieces to prevent sticking.

No slides or guides are needed, meaning the wallet can be used immediately after purchase. The design ensures that objects can be loaded smoothly, even while the wallet is in the performer's pocket.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This trick is ideal for magicians who want a practical, everyday wallet that also serves as a magical utility. It suits performers who enjoy impromptu effects and prefer not to rely on bulky or expensive gimmicks. The wallet is especially useful for those who perform close-up magic and need a reliable method for vanishing and producing small objects.

Difficulty

The Object to Impossible Location effect is not difficult to perform. The wallet handles most of the work, and the method is straightforward. The main skill required is smooth handling when loading objects into the wallet. Since no complex sleights are involved, beginners and experienced magicians alike can use it effectively.

What Magicians Say

Mark Traversoni, the creator of the Everyday Wallet, emphasizes its practicality: "The idea of the everyday wallet is that you carry this round literally every day ready to go in your pocket." He highlights its affordability and durability compared to more expensive magic wallets.

One reviewer notes the smoothness of the effect: "There's no guides required at all... it's really beautiful." The wallet's ability to conceal objects among cash adds to the deception, making the effect more convincing.

Another point of praise is the wallet's simplicity: "You don't need slides either... you could have just literally paid for something at the till using this wallet, put it back in your pocket, and you could go straight into object to impossible location." This makes it a practical choice for real-world performances.
