Vortex Wallet by iNFiNiTi and Thomas Sealey

Effect

The Vortex Wallet performs a series of visual transformations that appear impossible to an audience. A spectator sees a wallet change into a playing card. A ring visibly transforms into a card. The wallet can also reveal a spectator's chosen number on a card. Objects like rings or mints can vanish and appear in unexpected ways. The effects happen quickly and look like real magic.

Full details

The Vortex Wallet is a credit card style wallet made from Crazy Horse leather. It has a compact and stylish design that looks like an everyday item. The wallet features a dual magnetic locking system. This system allows for smooth vanishes, switches, and appearances of small objects like rings, coins, and bills. A unique feature is its peeking capability. You can secretly see information on a billet or coin while the spectator watches. The wallet comes with two fake credit cards for practice. It includes a detailed tutorial video that is over two hours long. The product is a collaboration between iNFiNiTi and Thomas Sealey.

Who should consider the trick

The Vortex Wallet is for magicians who perform close up or walk around magic. It suits performers looking for commercial magic effects. It is ideal for those who want to do impromptu tricks with everyday objects. If you like visual transformations and interactive routines, this wallet is a good choice. It works for magicians who value props that look organic and can be handed to spectators.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

Mastering the Vortex Wallet requires some practice. The dual locking system and peeking feature need familiarity to operate smoothly. Fiddlin Johnny notes that the wallet can make noise during certain actions, which you must learn to control. You may also need to adjust the size of your billets for the peek to work best. The included tutorial provides thorough instruction. With practice, the actions become natural. It is not a self working trick, but the methods are logical and learnable.

Fiddlin Johnny praises its "solid build" and "realistic appearance," allowing it to be "passed around without raising eyebrows." He does mention that it "can be a bit noisy during some tricks." SaturnMagicShop states that Mark Infiniti "loved its ability to vanish rings and transform objects, all while maintaining an examinable appearance." In a Saturn Magic live stream, Murphy's Magic called the Vortex Wallet "the best item they saw at the convention." Thomas Sealey's routine with the wallet is described as "practical, visual magic that plays big while remaining easy to perform."
