Effect: Discover the magic of the Ring in Wallet! Doug Malloy presents his most sought-after signature effect, perfect for magicians everywhere.

This is no ordinary wallet or effect; it features a captivating five-minute routine that revolves around a stunning leather wallet and a borrowed ring from an audience member.

The magician borrows a ring from a spectator and introduces a velour cord, threading the ring onto it. In a stunning moment, the ring visibly penetrates off the cord. The performer offers to repeat the effect, but this time, the ring completely vanishes! The audience is left wondering, where did it go?

To lighten the mood, the magician pulls out his wallet, jokingly asking, “Do you accept plastic instead?” Inside, the audience bursts into laughter at the sight of a $200.00 laminated bill. “How about a check?” he continues, revealing a check stamped with “Insufficient Funds!”

Once the laughter dies down, the magician focuses on the check, which magically transforms into a real $1.00 bill. “We’re making progress,” he quips. “You can buy a lot for a dollar these days! Remember those 10-10-220 ads?”

Next, the performer instructs the spectator to unzip the wallet. Inside a zippered compartment, a sealed envelope is found. The envelope is opened, and the borrowed ring emerges, unharmed, landing right in the spectator’s hands!

This routine has been Doug’s signature closing effect for over 15 years, featured in his close-up, strolling, and stage performances. It has garnered him more bookings than any other effect in his repertoire. Clients specifically request this powerful routine in every show. Doug himself states, “This is as impactful as my Lemon Game for close-up performances, yet it’s grand enough for any stage!”

The wallet, crafted to Doug’s precise specifications, is made from 100% genuine leather and serves as a practical everyday wallet. It comfortably accommodates envelopes up to 6 3/4″ and is versatile enough for various card-in-wallet effects.

Doug Malloy offers another gem from his professional collection. The Ring n’ Wallet is ideal for strolling magicians. A borrowed finger ring is placed on a velvet cord, where it penetrates. When the magician attempts to repeat the trick, the ring mysteriously vanishes. To resolve the situation, he brings out his wallet, leading to a series of humorous gags. Ultimately, the spectator opens a zippered compartment to find a sealed envelope, which, when opened, reveals the borrowed ring.

As with his previous release, The Lemon Game, Doug includes everything needed to perform this routine: the leather wallet (also suitable for Card in Wallet), the velvet cord, the plastic cash gag, a check-to-dollar bill gimmick, a sample envelope, a Sharpie marker, and an instructional video. The routine is effective and poses no risk to the borrowed ring. While the methodology may not introduce new concepts, Doug has skillfully crafted a routine from familiar elements. If you already possess the necessary props, the detailed effect description on Doug’s website may reveal too much. However, if you prefer the convenience of having all materials and enjoy personalized video instruction, your investment of $180 will secure you a tested routine ready for your strolling repertoire with minimal practice.
