(Based on 1 review)
Named after the mythical three-headed guardian of the underworld, the Cerberus Wallet is a descendant of a Jaks Wallet, but adapted and upgraded so it can be used like an everyday store-bought wallet. The best part? The Cerberus Wallet is a monster by name, but not by nature. It actually fits in your front trouser pocket!
What features does the Cerberus Wallet have? Bills and notes can be carried like a normal wallet (All US, UK & Euro paper money fit) 5 credit card pockets & 2 utility pockets Driver's License window Internal & External Peek System Out-to-lunch System 8 Card Index System (Business card sized) Card to Wallet: Load & Steal System (Business card or folded playing card) Use as platform for secret writingWhat does the wallet look like?
Built from the ground up in high quality black leather, this feature-packed tri-fold wallet is a real 'all-in-one' utility item, just without the usual size.
How do I learn what to do with the Cerberus Wallet?
On the accompanying DVD, Daniel Meadows shows that Cerberus' bite more than matches its bark as he walks you through all the features of the wallet, runs through some example routines, and suggests further reading for some great Cerberus-compatible effects!

I used to carry the Real Man’s Wallet as my every day wallet, then I met the Cerberus Wallet. The Cerberus is now my every day wallet. It is a top-notch tri-fold wallet that can fit in your pants pocket. No expense was spared in the materials used and in the manufacturing. Compared against top quality “normal” wallets, the Cerberus will rank just as high. The wallet measures three-and-a-half by four inches when closed and folded. It measures ten-and-a-half by four inches when it is completely open. Unlike many “magic” wallets, this is completely normal looking, has an ordinary bill compartment and could be handed out for inspection.
The Cerberus comes with an explanatory 45 minute DVD which is narrated by Daniel Meadows. The video and audio quality are excellent. Meadows credits scores of magicians and mentalists with teaching, inspiration and methods. He also suggests incorporating many other tricks with this wallet. The DVD does not demonstrate any full routines with either a live or studio audience, but instead demonstrates the effects while teaching them. This wallet is for performers and not beginners.
One of the strongest functions of the wallet is the peek function. Meadows gives a solid explanation of this function and teaches several different peeks. The wallet is also constructed so that the outer folds can fold into the middle of the wallet in different orders, which helps with the peek. This is not designed to peek a playing card, but to see written words or a drawing on a business card, billet or other small piece of paper. The wallet also has a simple and well-constructed compartment that enables you to do an easy switch of a small piece of paper or folded bill, which is also used for the index system. This switch is demonstrated on the DVD in addition to another type of switch using a different part of the wallet. Meadows also teaches how to load or steal a billet, which is a very useful function of this wallet. You can use this function to place what appears to be a prediction written by the magician and then load a different piece of papers, which a different prediction, without the spectator’s knowledge. The wallet also contains an out to lunch gimmick and Meadows quickly reviews how to exploit this function. There is also an index gimmick that allows you to access up to eight business cards/billets, although there may be some flashing of two cards. Instead, you may want to use the index system for only six cards. Finally, Meadows briefly suggest that you can use the wallet in conjunction with a bug holder or swami writer for various other prediction effects.
The promotional video is accurate and the ad copy is accurate. Although the ad copy claims that you can load a folded playing card, the card needs to be mercury folded and on the DVD, Meadows himself indicates he would not use this wallet for a mercury folded card-to-wallet effect. I agree. It probably should not have been included in the ad copy, despite the fact that it is possible to load a mercury folded card.
Although the wallet is not inexpensive, it is well worth its price due to the top-notch quality.
