SleightfulMagic Review - Elite Z Fold Wallet by Alakazam
David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a detailed review of the Elite Z Fold Wallet by Alakazam, a $34 wallet that he compares to the more common Himber wallet. He highlights its well-made construction, appealing aesthetics, and the convenience of Alakazam's new US-based warehouse for faster shipping. The video showcases five tricks demonstrated by Alakazam instructor Peter Nard, including the Two-Card Transpo, Snappy, Kicker, ESP Trick, and TNR 2z. David emphasizes the importance of understanding the wallet's limitations, particularly the lack of a locking mechanism, and advises magicians to maintain a consistent angle during performance. While he personally prefers Himber wallets, he acknowledges the appeal of the Z Fold design and encourages magicians to choose the wallet that best suits their style. He concludes by promoting his Magic Orthodoxy membership, offering access to a wealth of magic-related content.
