( BAND PLAYING )
I remember seeing the item used to make the card appear in the wallet in the phone video, but can't remember what it's called. I really like the idea of having it in the wallet window, vs having the spectator simply hold a piece of plastic.
I enjoyed that! That was a charming appearance on a talk show. Simple stuff, but very effective.
