Product description: I love the himber wallet, I find it to be a very creative tool, with lots of applications. Dominique Duvivier released his Mini Duvivier Wallet which is basically a himber wallet and another wallet, which looks identical but isn’t gaffed. This will allow you to do routines never possible before as well as handing the wallet at the end so they don’t suspect any tricky gimmicked wallet. I’m quite picky when it comes to leather quality and leather products in general, so I’m eager to take a look at this one, let’s go !
Price and where to buy it: This is sold at $90.50 and you can find it in nearly every Murphy's magic partner !
What you get: You get a regular cardboard box, nothing fancy on it but the name of the creator and the product. Inside, you get a DVD (nearly 2 hours with 9 routines) which shows you how the wallet work and several routines you can do with it. I really think you will come up with your own routine, the ability to switch a card or anything else quite flat has a huge potential. Both wallets are really well made, the leather smells good and they seem sturdy. They, of course, are identical except that one is gimmicked (himber) and the other not. Overall, it’s not a cheap product but the quality is very good and if you’re looking into a good himber wallet, which you can use for close-up work, you won’t be disappointed with the Mini Duvivier Wallet.
The pros and the cons: Here is the core of my review, let's begin with the cons, as I will usually be doing, I prefer to keep the good things for the end.
THE CONS:
If you want to hand out the wallet, you have to switch during the course of the routine so Dominique gives you tips on how to do the routine so the wallet is brought in and out of play without them noticing it.
THE PROS:
As I said, I’m very picky when I look at a leather product. I’ve read some very bad reviews about this item and I simply don’t understand them. Maybe they changed the leather but the one I have is made out of really good leather.
The Himber wallet is a tool rather than being a trick, I’m sure you will come up with your own routines and applications to this item.
The DVD provided is really good, it gives you tips, but also 9 routines so can see what you can do with it.
You can switch playing card, business card, money, elastic bands, nearly anything flat that can fit in the wallet can be switched.
They are usable for close-up work, which is a big plus for me, I had hard time finding a good quality himber wallet for close-up and there it is !
The fact you get a second, non gimmicked wallet opens up the world of possibility with it.
Overall rating: If you’re looking for a Himber wallet in small size, usable for close-up, you can’t be disappointed with the Mini Duvivier Wallet, it’s the best out there for me, 4/4 hearts.
As for the difficulty level, it really depend on what you do with it so the difficulty can range from self working to very hard, 2/5 stars.
Similar products: As I wrote, it’s very difficult to find a suitable mini himber wallet, this does the job really well !
