Comments: Comes with a small 5x3" leather Himber wallet, with unobtrusive straps. Wallet features the pass-through. The booklet contains six routines. I wouldn't buy this package solely for the routines, but if you are looking for a small, relatively inexpensive Himber wallet, this one is decent and the routines will provide you with a variety of presentation ideas.

Contents:

2 The Card That Never Was: Signed selection is placed in the wallet; a prediction card is removed. The signed card vanishes from the wallet, and the prediction card is the selection.
3 Add-A-Number: Magician makes a prediction which is placed aside. Three people then each write down a three digit number, and a fourth person totals them up. The total matches the prediction. No confederates are used.
4 Uneasy Money: Magician seems to fail in changing a $10 bill, but when opened it is seen to be only half a bill. The half a bill then changes into a $20 bill, which is then found to be half a bill as well, so the magician is back with his original $10.
5 The Printing Press: A 2nd spectator fails to find the first spectator's card, but with the aid of the wallet, the 2nd card is transformed into a copy of the first selection.
6 Examinable B'Wave: version of Phil Goldstein's B'Wave effect. Selected Ace is found to be the only face up Ace in a packet of four Aces.
7 Prints of Darkness: any card is named and magician shows how simple the trick would have been if the Four of Hearts had been selected. Since it hadn't, magician proceeds to "print" a blank card into the selection using the wallet, first the back only, and then the face.
