Great review. It is limited as an EDC for the things I carry such as paper currency, credit cards, membership cards, billets or business cards and a few mentalism items. While there are several slots for cards and such I believe the switch function limits the usefulness of the exterior slots. Unfortunately you’ll have to buy the wallet to see what I mean. However, I think this will work fine for people as an EDC depending on how much you want/need to carry.
The review was so detailed!! Covered every aspect of it. The switch and the peek aspect is brilliant. To tell you what could've been better, I am not 100% happy with the quality and the look. The edges are not sharp and not precision cut like my other wallets. Also, my Orphic is not closing just like a few others' out there.
Thanks so much man I appreciate the feedback! Yeah hopefully over time yours will close better. As the leather stretches and softens it very well should; as all the weight will be on the sides/card and storage slots.
The index in the shadow is easy to remove(just glued in). I have put it into several wallets, so you could possibly put it into the Orphic, the best of both worlds.
Thank you so much my friend! I keep planning the comparison video and then I keep putting it off because I have other wallets on the way lol. Just waiting on the cassidy wallet and then I'll do a big comparison video.
could probably compare 2-3 similar (rebel vs jol) or popular ones (Eg nexus vs orphic+) . People looking at the Cassidy are likely not interested in the Shadow. Or maybe do a top 10.
Yeah you're right I could compare similar wallets. I was waiting on the Cassidy for "my favorite peek/top peek wallets" but I can just hold off on that specific video.
i completely disagree Chris. i own both sizes but catered more towards the regular size. you have to be a bit patience. i promise you, you will be able to SMOOTHLY glide the card in the loading pocket! it WILL lay flat if you actually keep it in your back pocket and use it as an EDC for more than just mentalism/magic. the more you use it and PRACTICE with it the BETTER it becomes! Every single pocket inside and out will accommodate FULL SIZE playing cards and close completely flat! i promise just be patient. i have fairly large hands and love how i can completely cover the switch side without EVER flashing! it feels like holding a deck of cards vs the plus. just my two cents for what it's worth. otherwise, love the reviews as always. very informative to the buyer deciding. keep up the fabulous work! can't wait for the wallet wars series (:
Thanks so much I appreciate the feedback, and that's good go know! :) I'll have to pack my regular orphic and carry it around in my back pocket for a few days. Thanks again my friend :)
@@ChrisEdwardsMagic i was able to fit an entire deck, distributed between all the pockets including the load. kept it in my back pocket. frequently took them out and back in etc. practice a ton with it. handling it as much as possible to completely soften the leather. it worked wonders! out of the box couldn't fit full size in loading pocket. i think there's a reason the original creator stuck to the regular as well as dee Christopher. the size of the plus just looks odd to me compared to my credit cards. the ratio seems off. crazy isn't it how much 1cm can make a difference in the look and feel. 😂
I did a top 5 peek wallets that actually ended up being 6. I love the Hermes wallet but the peek wasn’t for me. I modified it to better suit my liking but the best peek you can do with the Hermes isn’t a full peek. Even though the peek is amazing it’s only a 1/4 peek. You can still get a full surface peek but the handling with that one isn’t my favourite and that’s why I modified it. I carry the Orphic. It’s definitely my preferred wallet. But the shadow wallet is still my all time favourite wallet for peeking.
@@ChrisEdwardsMagic i bought Patrick kuns z fold cause orphic was sold out but I think the orphic just offers a lot more.i bought OVERDRAFT and that's what set me down this 1914road I'm not a mentalist but I'm already like three hundred deep in their products and still need the orphic glad to know you carry it thanks for getting back at me.

Hey sir, just wondering, I know it has only been 3 months, but any additional thoughts on this wallet? Specifically, do you see yourself going back to the Shadow instead of this one?
Hey brother, I've been carrying my orphic as my EDC but I can't seem to get away from the peek and motivation of the shadow wallet. I've been carrying the Genuine Leather Razor Wallet with my Orphic 🤣😅 the orphic has an amazing peek and so many ways to achieve it. GREAT wallet.. but I've gotten so confident and comfortable with the Shadow that I just can't part with certain aspect of it.
@@ChrisEdwardsMagic I understand. I like the switch function of the Orphic and that is has 7 useable pockets. But the Shadow I still just cannot let go of! I am trying to only carry one but it is so hard!
Haha I'm in the same boat man. That's why I've been carrying the Razor with the orphic. Same peek and motivation as the shadow but Smaller and thinner so doesnt really make much difference in regards to pocket space.. Still pointless to carry two when the orphic is more than capable of a great peek lol. I use some different patter that justifies ringing in the Razor Wallet. A) I use it for carry extra business cards and B) I like to keep their drawing or word along with their name and date as a souvenir so that I can always remember the experience we shared. The connection. It makes it memorable for the participant as it gives it meaning.. in return, they remember YOU. I then duplicate their drawing or word, sign and date it, reveal however I see fit, they keep my card, i keep theirs, it goes back into the wallet which completes the circle as I stated in the beginning I keep these drawings as memories and then did just that. As a bonus they have your contact information on the other side of their new souvenir ;)
@@ChrisEdwardsMagic I’m told Shadow & Razor share the same peek… it’s kind of the only thing I’m interested in. Now there’s a wallet from somewhere in the UK that works like a remote printer in a wallet that’s half the size of a shoebox & costs $1,750!
@Rick Cleveland yes! The shadow and Razor are the same peek. Almost identical in general. The shadow just had more storage and a built-in 6 out index. The Razor has one working pocket where the shadow has 3 working pockets that can hold 2 plastic cards (credit cards) per slot and then a large pocket for whatever else. Cash, or other magic effects. I keep a couple of mentalism cards, extra business cards, Iris, Thy Will Be Done, will to read, and an envelope prediction all in that big pocket. And the wallet you're thinking of is called Legacy.
Thank you! Yeah if you are using the switch feature that's correct. However, if you're holding the wallet at the bottom covering the pockets you can flash both sides and there is nothing to see. The "move" in making the switch is also very natural looking and has always gone unnoticed when I've used it.

Nobody does wallet reviews better than you Chris !
You’re too kind! Thank you so much :)
Thank you for taking the time to add captions!
I'm still learning my friend but I am trying to figure it out :)
Thank you 🙏🏼. This is the info I needed. Nobody really addressed this on the cafe. Good job man.
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching and thank you for the comment. I'm glad the video helped my friend :)

I completely agree with everything you said as well man! Thanks for the kind words and your thoughts I appreciate it!
I love Orphic wallet, it;s the only magic wallet that you'll ever need
It is very good I have been carrying it for a few weeks now.

*Waves* from the EDC magic FB page. Great Review!
Hey my friend!! Thanks for the kind words! Happy to hear from you :)

Absolutely! Yeah I don't have the index in my shadow. Not the one I'm using anyway.
Great review Chris. Looking forward to your comparisons with other wallets!

Wallet reviews are Prob gonna keep you busy for a while. 😁
Haha no kidding man, you're 100% correct there 🤣
Great review, Chris. The Orphic Plus is brilliant. My new EDC.

Haha I hear you. Yeah for sure I'll give it a shot thank you! :)
Nice review,thanks
My pleasure :) thank you my friend.
The Orphic wallet is a big wallet that does a lot....BUT it's too big to put in your jeans pocket. I much prefer the Apex wallet mk 2 👍
How does this stack up to the Hermes Wallet? Wver get that top ten produced?

What wallet does the best peek?
That video is coming soon! I have a list of 10 I'm going to go over. The one I've used the most is the Shadow Wallet, if that helps.

Nice review! I'm guessing the back of the wallet is "dirty" and can't be shown.
Thank you! Yeah if you are using the switch feature that's correct. However, if you're holding the wallet at the bottom covering the pockets you can flash both sides and there is nothing to see. The "move" in making the switch is also very natural looking and has always gone unnoticed when I've used it.
