I have written about and offered you many different coin wallets, even gave you links to nice ones on Amazon, but I have always felt that the one Ronjo designed around 1980 was the best. It is the one I carry with me because its clever design safely houses many different coins and coin sets with its eleven compartments.
I am glad to report that I have been able to negotiate a semi-exclusive deal and I currently have a lot in stock. They are all made by hand in the US. Take a look at the trailer I made: HERE
►Ronjo’s Coin Wallet:
If you ever wanted a coin wallet to keep your regular and gaffed coin sets organized and easy to carry, this is it.
The eleven compartments were designed to hold American dollars and half-dollars but can also hold smaller coins. Nine of the compartments can easily hold up to two half-dollars each and the two larger compartments can hold the larger dollar sized coins. But they can easily hold 2-3 times as many coins if you decide not to fold the wallet.

►The Excellence Of Danny Fleshman:
Danny Fleshman who is now best known as Dan Fleshman is one of the hardest working professional restaurant magicians in the business, but that is just a small part of his career as a close-up magician. He has done it all! The reason we rarely hear from him is that he is too busy working!
From the foreword John Mendoza: “I have had the good fortune of watching Danny work on several occasions and the material contained herein is the stuff he does for real people. Not magicians. Not so-called inner circlists. Not the bigshot critics. But real, honest-to-goodness, innocent laymen who usually were indifferent about magic before seeing Dan work and almost 100% of the time love magic after seeing him work… My writing reputation is dependent on the fact that I find and write magic that professional magicians use… Danny’s magic is the kind that counts and I urge you to try it, learn it, refine and perfect it and then, above all, use it!”

►BACK IN STOCK:
The two items below are manufactured by Shufton Magic and are both excellent. Both are back in stock and both are semi-exclusives with us.
One of Steve Dusheck’s favorite items and the unique Guru Paradox where a signed object appears in a pop-up greeting card.
►Dusheck’s Diminishing Cards:
This is one of Steve Dusheck’s favorite creations and one of the routines he always performed. He partnered with Steve Shufton to create this improved version of his Diminishing Cards.
Here are some of the features of this unique set: Can be performed close-up or on stage, the cards grow back at the end, any back design possible, instant reset, faces match most popular brands, cards stay in same order as they shrink, and it is self-contained.

►3D Guru Paradox:
You hand a spectator a sealed envelope with a prediction inside. A card is freely chosen, signed and shuffled back into the deck. The prediction envelope is then opened to reveal a greeting card that says, “A Most Surprising Prophesy Enclosed.” When the greeting card is opened a pop-up scene comes into view of a Guru holding a coin envelope.
The inside of the card says, “Look inside for the true you!” When the spectator opens the envelope, they find their signed selection!

►LATEST RELEASE:
►Brain Bogglers:
For many years Meir Yedid has been opening his stage, parlor, and formal close-up shows with a series of three optical illusions/brain twisters where he explains how magic works. The premise is that we tell you the truth, but your brain lies to you.
The three optical illusions/brain twisters are the standard Word Skipping Illusion, Cornsweet Illusion, and Thatcher illusion, although they have been modified to optimize the live presentations and make them more interesting.
