TCC Combo Wallet by TCC Magic Universe

Created by: TCC Magic Universe

The TCC Combo Wallet is a versatile, multi-functional wallet designed for magicians and mentalists. It combines three key features into one: card-to-wallet loading, card switching, and peeking capabilities. Spectators see a seemingly ordinary wallet, but it secretly allows the performer to load a card, switch cards unnoticed, and peek at hidden information. This is ideal for close-up magic, mentalism, and card tricks. The wallet includes a large peek window (sized for Chinese ID cards, which may require minor adjustments for other regions) and comes with envelopes for card-to-sealed-envelope routines. A budget-friendly option for beginners, though frequent performers may want to invest in higher-end alternatives.

Effect

The TCC Combo Wallet is a multi-functional tool that allows magicians to perform several effects seamlessly. To the audience, it appears as a standard wallet with an ID window. A magician can load a playing card into the wallet invisibly, switch cards without detection, and peek at hidden information discreetly. The wallet maintains a natural appearance, making the magic effects seem impossible.

Full details

The TCC Combo Wallet combines three key functions: card loading, switching, and peeking. It includes an internal organization for holding playing cards, a large peek window for discreetly viewing hidden information, and a switching mechanism similar to higher-end wallets like the Orit and Shadow Wallet. The wallet comes with additional accessories, such as envelopes for card-to-sealed-envelope routines.

The Switch Wallet, a separate but related product, focuses on card switching and includes an internal peek feature. Both wallets are designed for practicality, with storage pockets for billets and other small items. However, the peek window is larger than standard UK ID windows, which may require minor adjustments for optimal use.

Who should consider the trick

This wallet is ideal for beginners in mentalism or magic who want an affordable, all-in-one solution. It provides multiple functions at a lower price point than premium wallets. Experienced performers may prefer higher-quality alternatives for frequent professional use, but the TCC Combo Wallet serves as an excellent entry-level option.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The wallet is designed for ease of use, making it accessible to beginners. The card loading and switching mechanisms follow standard techniques found in other wallets, so those familiar with similar products will adapt quickly. The peek function requires some practice to execute smoothly, especially due to the larger window size. Overall, the learning curve is manageable, and the wallet’s versatility makes it a practical choice for developing skills.

What magicians say

Mentalistonashoestring highlights the wallet’s value, stating, "For £30, you're getting a card-to-wallet, a switching wallet, and a peek wallet—which is really useful for new mentalists." They note that while the materials reflect the lower price, the wallet remains functional and well-designed for beginners.

The reviewer also mentions minor drawbacks, such as the peek window size and a hole in the switching mechanism that could be improved. However, they conclude, "For the price, bloody good... you're not going to be disheartened."

For those seeking a durable, professional-grade wallet, they recommend alternatives like the Orit or Shadow Wallet. But as an affordable, versatile option, the TCC Combo Wallet is a solid choice for newcomers.

mentalistonashoestring says...

For £30, you're getting a card-to-wallet, a switching wallet, and a peek wallet—all in one. It's a fantastic starter for new mentalists or magicians. [...] The only downside is the materials won't last as long as pricier wallets, but for the price, it's bloody good.
