The Aficionado Fire Wallet (Gimmick and Online Instructions) by Murphy's Magic Supplies Inc. - Trick

This fire wallet does exactly what its supposed to do. No need to worry about it self-destructing. I keep my cash in it, photos, and business cards for my animation career. This wallet is reliable. Works flawlessly every time for me. Obviously it doesn't retain lighter fluid all day long, but its best to prepare before a big event such as a business expo, social gathering, or something like that. It still keeps a decent amount for a good while though. I wouldn't refill this all day every day even though I carry it everywhere I go. Friends and family dig it, colleagues and business partners get a stunning first impression from it. If you want to add a little FLARE in your routine whether its street magic, party tricks, or networking, this is an exiting and nifty thing. Best to perform outdoors of course.

I really like this because it catches peoples attention. I dislike it because every time I go out I have to refill it. Over all I am happy with this purchase

The wallet is very cool, and can fit all your normal wallet stuff it it. Although the flint wore out very quickly, use sparingly

I have absolutely zero complaints, this fire wallet performed exactly as advertised, I'm very happy with the purchase.

It doesn't work, I put lighter fluid on it and nothing.

I did tons of research on fire wallets and have owned cheaper ones before. I say this one is second best because I wish I would have spent the extra 10 bucks and got the professional leather version of this wallet. This fake leather is still good, I'm just concerned it may not wear as well after lots of everyday use. Technically there is one other wallet that is truly the best, but it's currently no longer being made and I can't find it anywhere. If you can find a Theatre Magic Fire Wallet 2.0 get that one. Otherwise, the Murphy's Magic wallets are best. Scam School also sells a fire wallet and I believe it's the exact same as this one because I found where they are using the same instructional video that's included with this one. You definitely want to get a manual striker version and not an electric fire wallet if you want it to last. The electric ones are expensive and the batteries won't last forever. With this type you can change the flint when it wears out.The quality of the Aficionado wallet is good compared to other fire wallets. The only complaint I have is what other people have said about the license holder being too short. Your ID still fits, it's just an odd size. It will need to be refilled at least daily or more often if you use it a lot. None of the fire wallets seal in the fuel very well and it will evaporate, but this one does as well as any I've seen or heard of especially if you make the alteration I mention below.Pro tips: (See photos) I made a gasket out of the rubberized cord from an old laptop charger that happened to be just the right diameter and used epoxy to glue it inside the edge of the metal frame. It works great for sealing in the fluid from evaporation. Mine lasts over 24 hours. Be sure to use epoxy and not another type of glue or it will get eaten away by the solvent action of the lighter fluid.I also carry a small bottle of fuel with me in a dripper bottle used for vape juice and keep an extra flint tucked in a corner of the wallet. You must use "lighter fuel" made for Zippo lighters, not the stuff you use in a BBQ grill or any other type of flammable liquid. I recommend Ronsonol brand. You can buy a pack of extra flints or take them out of old disposable lighters. Also, adjust the pressure on your flint by turning the screw if you are having trouble getting a good spark or the wheel is too stiff to turn.The instructional video was ok. There's only so much you can say about how to use a fire wallet. It includes tips for doing card to wallet, but this is not gimmicked for the trick so it's done with slights and forces as you would do with any regular wallet.Shipping was very fast with standard free shipping, arrived a day early.

So I bought this product assuming that it would work more than one time in a row without needing to be immediately refilled or that it would hold fluid than the three minutes after it is doused with the fuel. The wallet not only doesn't hold it's fuel well but the striker for the trick is not in an effective place for the snark to catch everytime. It would be a great gimmick if it worked as advertised.
