Rebel Wallet

Effect

The Rebel Wallet is a magic trick where a wallet appears to defy gravity. The magician shows an ordinary wallet, but when they tilt it or move it in unexpected ways, the wallet behaves in impossible ways. It might stick to the performer's hand, float, or move unnaturally, creating a visually surprising moment for the audience.

Full details

The Rebel Wallet is designed for close-up or table magic. It is a self-contained trick, meaning no extra setup is needed beyond the wallet itself. The effect is visual and does not require complex sleight of hand, making it accessible for many performers. The wallet looks normal before and after the trick, so it can be carried and used as a regular wallet when not performing.

Who should consider the trick

The Rebel Wallet is ideal for magicians who want a quick, visual trick that works in casual or formal settings. It suits performers who like impromptu magic, as the wallet can be carried daily. Street magicians, close-up performers, and those who enjoy interactive, visual tricks will find it useful.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The trick is rated as easy to intermediate. It does not require advanced sleight of hand, but smooth handling and natural movements are important for the best effect. A short practice session is enough to get comfortable with the mechanics.

What magicians say

Steve Faulkner mentions the Rebel Wallet as part of his close-up set, saying, "I've got my Rebel Wallet, which I'm going to be using definitely... it's just you know if people aren't comfortable taking cards, name a card out loud, if instead of signing it, I'll write a random word on it—all that kind of stuff works really well." He highlights its practicality for performances where minimal spectator handling is preferred. The trick fits well in a versatile close-up set, offering a strong visual moment without needing extra props.
