BKM Wallet (Apparatus)
« BKM wallet »
BKM stands for Balducci, Kapps Mullica. At roughly 110.00$ CDN, it is a fairly expensive wallet, but in my opinion, it is worth it. For those of you who know the principle of the Mullica wallet, I have to say that I tried making myself one with a cheap 15$ wallet. It was not worth the trouble of finding one of the appropriate size, look, cutting where needed, etc… This one is well thought out in its construction, it is made out of quality leather, it is examinable (in part…), and is usable in it’s apparent intended purpose: As a wallet!!!
The BKM is more expensive than some other wallets, but it does combine the advantage of being usable with the Balducci/Kapps method, or the Mullica method. This allows you to do the same trick twice, using two drastically different methods. This is ideal for those “show me again!” situations. The documentation that comes with this apparatus is concise and clear. It even shows a method for the “Kapps” version of “card to wallet” that does not involve palming. The “Mullica insert” is very easy to use, even for those of us who are not that dextrous. This does not mean, however, that you will be able to use this apparatus without practice. Rehearse until you can do it while sleeping!!! This may seem obvious to all experienced magicians, but it is worth repeating to everyone. Even though the methods may be simple, rehearsing is essential to being able to present the trick in competent manner.
The BKM wallet is available at most magic shop and online.
Have a nice day!
