Simple Method but Fun Surprise!
This effect is nothing more than a specially printed Credit Card and a switch but it works great and given our familiarity with plastic money is a wonderful way to reveal a chosen card.
I would use a Himber Wallet to perform the switch as opposed to the method they suggest. To be honest, what could make more sense than to actually have the credit card in a Wallet?

Very fine boxes and good value too!
Jim Zee makes some very fine coin boxes indeed and they are priced very reasonably. When it comes to coin boxes the size and weight really make a difference. These babies just look and feel perfect!
If you have ever wanted to learn to do some really cool coin effects with the Okito box not only are the Jim Zee boxes the best they come with a 40 page illustrated booklet by Robert Bengal all for a paltry $64!
There are also some great routines for Jim’s coin boxes in David Roth’s Expert Coin Magic
Highly Recommended!

I really like this Deck!
Just when you think you’ve seen all the trick decks out there, along comes X-Deck! This is almost a total home run. It is a very clean way to show that you had predicted what card they would mentally think of from all 52 cards in the deck. They can think of any one and you show that you had marked it with an X and with an alternate back.
It is better and easier to use than the Brainwave Deck because you can freely show the backs and fronts of the deck. However, the only problem I have with it is that they have made the deck look pretty obviously prearranged by the choice of cards that you can see when you fan the deck. With a little thought and some simple calcuations I’m sure there is a better way. I’m going to play with a deck myself to see. Once you remove this slightly annoying limitation then you truly do have a great idea that is simpler, faster and cleaner than Brainwave and then something that you will just start using all over the place!

I Love Factory Printed Gimmicks!
This is similar to the FA-KO Deck and comes with an impressive selection of gimmicked cards factory printed on Bicycle stock. It doesn’t come with as many routines as the FA-KO Deck, but there are certainly some usuable routines here.
Plus it gives you some cool new cards to play with to invent other new routines!

Great Quality, Easy and Convincing Routine
This is probably one of the best of the standard gimmicked coin sets and a nice quality set it is too. Instant reset and you are left clean at the end.
Not a lot more to say, except that you will use this set of coins, unlike all those others you have lining your draws!

Not Mystery Box, but better sometimes!
Ok so when you first recieve this box you are going to be looking for some cool gimmick. You initially will be dissappointed as the box is totally ungimmicked.
However, it is designed very well and has some very specific properties that allow you to basically do what you can do with John Kennedy’s marvellous Mystery Box and quite a lot more. Because it is ungimmicked you can’t be quite as clean as the Mystery Box allows, however if you can handle the Mystery box I don’t think that will be a problem for you. And there are three big pluses over the Mystery box: you can use it for any playing card, business card or other billet like slip, it requires no reset and it is half the price. John Kennedy does provide Money Mystery Box and the Prediction Mystery Box but now you need 3 boxes to do each effect. With the Tibetan Wishing Box – you just need the one.
I am a big fan of the Mystery Box and have performed it for years. I won’t give up using it either – in fact I do a routine with 3 boxes and it kills! However, because of the benefits this box has I could see myself using it initially for various other effects and might even find myself doing it in place of the Mystery Box over time.
It comes with a good set of detailed and photo illustrated instructions too.

Clever Mr. Dobson!
Wayne Dobson has a great set of routines to breath live into you himber or Z-Fold wallet. The wallet that comes with this set is a very nice leather wallet and quite small. The instructions are also very detailed and laid out in a very pleasing manner.
It is perfect for playing card and business card effects. I for one will be performing 2 or 3 of the routines that come with this great value product!

The Exquisite Joy of Mel Babcock at his Finest!
When it comes to Die Boxes, Mel Babcock really is in a league of his own. If you have never experienced the giddy feeling you get when you receive one of his packages you are truly missing out on one of Magic’s great experiences!
This latest version of the Die Box, based on an old Thayer design, is surely the best Die Box Mel has ever made. As with his standard Die Box, the weight and feel of the box is perfect. You have to hold it to really appreciate how well it sits and works in your hands. All the actions are incredibly smooth.
Now for the extra features – the doors and ends of the box have inlayed wood panels which truly look beautiful. In addition you are supplied with two brightly colored and superbly painted dice, which during the course of the routine change places and finally change into two dice of totally different color.
I can’t express how wonderful I felt as I opened my package today – but as far as early Christmas presents go, there is no finer!
A wonderful, wonderful piece of craftsmanship.
Highly recommended!

Still incredible!
Some times when you receive a new magic effect the reviews are overly gushing with enthusiasm, only to find when you sit down and play with the effect more that they are not quite all what they are cracked up to be.
It has been about 14 months since I purchased the Predator Wallet and I have used it many times since my initial review. I can honestly say that it is my secret weapon when I want that killer effect to really blow them away. I nearly always end my close-up act with this now and just know I will leave them speechless.
Yes I do perform the "Psycho Killer" effect, and I know you could perform many other great effects, but for me it is just about perfect.

This totally wows them!
I was performing this just the other night and had forgotten how utterly amazing it is to watch. I have been a fan of Wild Card for over 30 years and now I perform this instead.
Although it requires the same basic moves as Wild Card, to the spectator more magic happens as they appear to mentally choose the card that eventually all the cards change to. Also, because you start of with 2 sets of 5 different cards it also seems a bit more amazing.
Highly recommended!
