Phlat

This magic trick is somewhere between a gag and magic effect. You can

use this when you get a call or whenever you need to phone someone and

have a crowd.

Your cell phone begins to ring. You tell your friends that the thing is so small you

keep losing it, so you keep it in your wallet.

As you explain this to your friends you reach into your back pocket and pull out

your wallet. You open your wallet and produce your phone.

Secret

Cell phones have gotten small, but we haven't reached the point yet where you

can safely stick one in your back wallet. So in order to create the illusion we have

to use a bit of subterfuge. Prior to reaching for your wallet, secretly palm your

phone into your right hand (figure 3).

Grab your wallet with your right hand and bring it in front of your body. As you do

this, take the wallet with your left hand (figure 1). Pretend to reach into your

wallet with your right hand and produce the phone that was hidden in your hand

(figure 5).
