Comments: The Eclipse Wallet is a well done single pocket wallet made of leather. It has a round hole in one side, so that anything placed in the wallet remains in view. Yet, it is gimmicked to allow a playing card or business card to be secretly yet visually switched. You are limited as to what can be used effectively in the wallet. Comes with a 4 page manuscript using a small font and featuring 25 trick ideas with line drawings.
