Effect

Spectators see the magician reach into the wallet and retrieve items impossibly or make them disappear without any suspicious movements. The wallet appears normal, making the magic more deceptive.
Full details
The Thumb Tip Wallet is a specialized magician’s prop designed with hidden compartments or gimmicks that allow for secret storage and quick access to small objects. Unlike standard wallets, it enables smooth vanishes, productions, and switches without drawing attention. The design often integrates seamlessly with a thumb tip or other small gimmicks, expanding the range of possible effects.
Who should consider the trick
This wallet is ideal for magicians who perform close-up or street magic and want a practical way to carry and conceal small props. It suits those who enjoy impromptu routines or need a reliable method for producing or vanishing items without relying on pockets. If you perform card tricks, coin magic, or bill switches, this wallet can enhance your workflow.
Information on how difficult it is to perform

The mechanics are designed to minimize handling difficulty, allowing smooth performances with minimal practice. However, mastering timing and misdirection will improve the overall effect. Beginners can use it effectively, but experienced performers will find more creative applications.
