The El Duco/Leveridge Wallet Combo
Reviewed by Jay Fortune
Another new release from Mark Leveridge Magic. In this set you receive an El
Duco leather hip-style wallet, 60 minute DVD of Mark Leveridge routine's using
the wallet and a set of specially printed zodiac cards for one of the routines.
Starting with the wallet, it's well made and looks like it really could be your
normal wallet, something which many other wallets on the market fall down on.
The load is very easy to do with minimal fumbling in your pocket. There's a few
spaces for credit cards and a money pocket. The card is produced from within the
popper-pocket section of the wallet (no zip, two poppers) The DVD has full
handling and explanations for six routines. Leveridge has created many
additional uses for the wallet; namely loading a card, swapping a previously
loaded card and peeking a loaded card. Most of the routines use a signed card
and Leveridge has a valid reason of why the wallet comes into play as he keeps
stickers in the wallet for the spectator to sign and stick to their chosen card.
Most of the routines use palming, however the wallet can be used to load a card
without palming, and thanks to its construction this is very easy to accomplish.
The routines are varied and strong. Upon watching the DVD I found myself
creating other tricks for the wallet based on Leveridge's ideas. This is great
fun, quality props and strong magic for lay people. Not a cheap product, but an
investment that will pay for itself many times over in my opinion as this wallet
will be used regularly for engagements and apparent impromptu performances if
you choose to use this as your everyday wallet. Highly recommended.
