Hermes Wallet

I'm an amateur magician, that business colleague or friend who happens to know how to turn a moment into magic. Any props I use must seem incidental, unsurprising, self-explanatory, and above suspicion. Since I am not a collector of magic paraphernalia, I shop only for tools that meet those requirements. Hoping to find the sweet spot between innocent utility and insidious versatility, I looked around for contemporary, practical wallet: something I would have chosen for everyday use anyhow that happens to be thoughtfully packed with utility features to enable the miraculous. What I found is Josh Janousky's Hermes Wallet.

Slick yet sneaky, the streamlined Hermes fits the moment's fashion. But it also supports multiple flavors of card to wallet (in the magician's hands or in the spectator's, found among credit cards in the pull tab, tucked into a lateral pocket, or trapped in the id viewer), covert and overt peek, out to lunch, and more. The wallet's physical features, including subtleties of folding and stitching, make it a versatile framework for creativity.

To ensure a foundation of skills and stimulate creativity in presentation, the purchase includes access to three hours of well-structured video content. This includes a 10-minute guide to optional gimmickry, nearly 30 minutes of instruction covering at least three methods each for controlling, palming, and stealing cards, over an hour of step-by-step guidance through at least six distinct routines exercising the Hermes Wallet's many features, and over an hour of training on common issues in cold reading to support the item's use in mentalism.

The Hermes Wallet may not do everything, but I don't need everything; I need excellence. The Hermes Wallet does quite a lot and does it with excellence, providing subtle, varied card to wallet infrastructure in a stylish everyday accessory.

I have to say the Hermes wallet is the best of its kind. I'm working on it now to get all the uses down. It's excellent and it well made too.

Is really easy to use, very stylish, great material, well explained, adaptable to any kind of magic, surely a wallet you want to carry on in your day to day

The wallet is good as an everyday carry. I like that it is slim as I don't like very thick magic wallets. I love the setup for card to wallet. While I personally will never let a spectator hold my wallet, (I live in Jacksonville, FL. DUUUUVALLLLL) You can certainly do so for the reveal. The creator goes into great detail over how to do card to wallet including multiple sleights. In tutorials, I will usually find one gem of a sleight that I will hold onto and the tutorial has great ones. As for one of the peeks, not a fan. The information has to be in one particular area and it relies on the spectator to put it there. For me, it's not a problem to get them to do that. It's just that you'll have too much negative space on the card and it feels forced. The other method is diabolical and more in line with how I like peeks to go. Spectator can write anywhere and you get a glimpse even if they are looking at it with you. I have tried it out on some friends and they could see nothing. As I said it is DIABOLICAL. I am not a big out to lunch guy but there is a great section on this as well. The money clip holds a few of my every day carrys. Overall I'd say for the tutorial provided, the construction of the wallet, and the many effects you can perform. This is well worth the price.

It is so easy to load. Recommend it very much.

My Edc I altered it to even include a firewallet pad it's a great utility device

Well-made and looks nice. A little DIY to get props ready. Mine was shipped with two magnets and one ribbon vs two stated in the video. Will take a little practice to use well

perfect for walk around
card to wallet is super fast
leather quality is just as good as all other quiver leather products
this is one of my edc, amd should be one of yours too

Okay, I’m a wallet nut, but this wallet is really nice. Real leather, beautifully made by Quiver and just the right size. Finally a nice out to lunch without looking “cheesy” or like a prop!
The training is great...just get it!

My new edc, incredible features for an all in one product
