1 review for The Talismanic Card in Wallet (Window Wallet) by R.A.R. Magic, Ed Brown

    This is the Talismanic Card in Wallet or Window Wallet that inspired Dave Bendix to create the Bendix Bombshell.  This wallet was made by Roy Roth, but it is based on the original ones made by Ed Brown. Ed Brown created the Window Wallet c. 1975 and a routine using it was published in Kabbala Vol.3, No. 1, January 1976, called: Between Elmsley, Brown, and Himber. The Window Wallet was the inspiration for a number of great card men including, Ed Marlo, Dave Solomon (using Ed Brown’s own wallet), Jon Rachenbaumer (Talismanic Card in Wallet – Lecture Notes 1, 1976) , and Dave Bendix to create some wonderful Card to Wallet routines.  The second you see the the diagram on page 1 of the Kabbala article you will recognize the familiar set-up for the special Himber wallet that we recognize today as the Bendix Bombshell.

    Having seen both wallets up close I really like the cleanness of The Talismanic Card and made it up using some of the new Jerry’s Nuggets cards and it looks and works perfectly.  The Bendix might be a tad more impressive but it is also a little harder to work so for many people the Talismanic  will be a welcome surprise.
