Packet Trick Wallet

We all heard the expression “you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression”. This is true for almost every aspect of life. I’ll never forget the time when I first got into magic and I had stopped in at a small magic shop. I didn’t know much about magic then and by comparison to others it can be said I don’t know much about magic now, but I have a pair of eyes. As I was perusing the display cabinets of colorful props, a well known local magician walked in just before a paid performance looking for some mouth coils. The in-house salesman showered him with praises as he walked through the door. Not knowing who he was or how talented he was, all I saw was an unkempt and portly man in wrinkled clothes covered with animal hairs. His shirt had coffee stains on it and his shirt tails weren’t tucked in. With much fanfare, he was asked by the magic purveyor to show me his sponge ball routine. Enthusiastically, the magician pulled from his jacket pocket the dirtiest and slimiest sponge balls I had ever seen. The last thing I wanted at that point was to see his sponge ball routine.

So why do I bring this up? That was seven years ago and I still remember it as if it happened yesterday. The impression left on me by the presence of this individual will last forever. The appearance of our clothes, the way we wear them and our props speak volumes to others meeting us for the first time. While I don’t do paid gigs, I do like to keep my props clean and orderly. I hate using playing cards that appear to be gray and dirty as well as any other prop that looks worn. Since I do perform a lot ofpacket tricks, I am constantly replacing my cards on a regular basis once they start to look “old”. In addition to the condition of the cards, I like keeping them in a nice carrying case. Instead of those one dollar vinyl packet trick wallets, there are better quality packet trick wallets out there. Interestingly enough, I found it isn’t the most expensive holders that are actually the best. In my quest to find the perfect packet trick wallet, I found that the expensive leather wallets actually are worse for the cards than the cheap vinyl ones. It seems that the dye leeches out of the leather and stains the edges of the cards until for me, they are unusable. So w hat is the solution? The cheap vinyl wallets look like they are, cheap and the leather ones are expensive and soil the cards. Look into the TCC imitation leather (PUR) packet trick wallet. It has the appearance of the expensive and classy wallets but does not stain the cards. I think you will like them and it makes you look like you should look, professional. TCC manufactures numerous products in the PUR leather and real leather as well. I just got their packet trick wallet and for less than five dollars.
