- LOAD - PEEK- SWITCH - The Apex Wallet does it all... in true style.
Signed card to zippered compartment
Card to sealed envelope
Ring or coin to sealed envelope in zippered compartment
Business card & playing card peek
Large central switching compartment (full playing card size)
Second (removable) switcher within zippered compartment
2 or 4-way out options
The modern minimalist, hand-made crazy-horse leather Apex Wallet also functions perfectly as an everyday carry with:
3 credit card slots
Packet trick / card pocket
Two large cash compartments
Poker size ID window (can store your Rainbow Card - sold separately)
A closer look....
LOAD - The Apex wallet can receive a signed card in TWO places; a smaller zippered compartment and main central compartment. You can also load a signed card in sealed envelope - whether it be your existing magician’s envelopes or cheaper every-day standard envelopes to save you money - HURRAH!
In addition to cards, the wallet takes rings, coins and other small objects seamlessly into a sealed envelope inside zippered compartment.
PEEK - The peek method allows a business card or playing card to be placed inside the middle of the wallet. The wallet can be shown from all sides, and when the moment is right, a one-handed and single-finger activation allows for a peek. No flaps, no electronics and no need to re-enter or open any part of the wallet at any point to gain the peek.
SWITCH - Boasting TWO switching compartments, the Apex wallet allows for incredible visual switches of FULL SIZE playing cards, cash, coins, receipts, or any similarly sized large items. Combine this switch function with a card-load and the possibilities are limitless: blank card to signed card... torn and restored... the list goes on. And the best bit? The main switcher section is auto-magnetic-locking which means spectators can open the wallet themselves.
As a bonus, the large switching section is so big and spacious it can be used as a brilliant one way forcing bag to switch your audience’s billets for your own - in plain sight - with no funny moves whatsoever. Having two switcher compartments gives further possibilities of discreet switches and 2 or 4-way out options.
What’s included...
Handmade crazy-horse leather wallet in black or tan brown
2 x card-to-wallet loading slides
Ring / coin / small object loader
Sample envelopes
Online masterclass - over 3 hours of tutorials
The Apex wallet is the culmination of 2 years development, multiple prototypes and over a year of rigorous testing and refinement in both daily use and in professional working environments.
Finally, a wallet which not only functions perfectly as an everyday carry, but also inspires elevation of magical performance with unique features.
Quite simply, the Apex Wallet combines all the things a magician could ever dream of, in one beautiful, small and ultra-modern place.
New 2024 Apex Wallet updates:
New clear wallet window (makes peek clearer)
New Matt Black leather in same look and feel as the brown
New sewn on leather tabs on the switch mechanism

Fabulous review thank you.
You’re welcome!
Hi Chris, what a great review! It is thorough, thoughtful, informative, in depth, candid and enjoyable! Thank you formally you do! Your friend, David
Thank you so much David!!
A most excellent review and love the new logo ❤
Thanks so much brother!!
Hi cris the best review on the apex. Thankyou.
Thank you so much my friend! I really appreciate that
thanks Chris
You’re welcome my friend. It’s my pleasure :)
Great review Chris. I wouldn't say mine was unusable, but there were definite problems. The switch area has exposed metal where the leather came off. It just meant that you could mildly hurt your fingers. It stay together better than the Nexus wallet at least.
I took the peek devise out because I found that it made it too difficult to load a business card into the wallet. I felt super exposed putting something in it and having troubles getting it to go in. With all the other spots that clearly could handle a card, it seemed super suspect.
I really like the look and features though, it does make me consider getting a second one.
Thank you my friend; yeah I have no experience with the first batch. It’s funny you mentioned the nexus wallet though because I had just mentioned that one in another comment. Mine fell apart setting the wallet up.
Mark at Saturn emailed me a link that will allow users of the first wallet to get the updated Apex for £50.00. However, you will not receive any add-ons, box or instructions, but saving £34.00 is better than nothing.
Absolutely!
Thank you for the thorough review!
My pleasure!!
I think the suc peek is the best peek because it’s like the shadow wallet peek but more deceptive cause there conditioned to think the card can’t be seen once in the wallet
Yeaa I still like how the shadow, razor and apex can be handed out and seen from all sides after you’ve achieved your peek. It doesn’t have to go away.
Had an email from Saturn Magic saying Bonaslopes will not fit as the wallet is too narrow.
Oh that’s strange.. Thomas told me they would. I don’t have any to check for myself unfortunately.
I have the first version which is basically unusable. Did they mention any recourse for us?
Did you reach out with any issues or concerns when you first received it?? If not, I doubt anything can be done at this point as it’s been a long time since first release. It’s always worth a shot, but a lot of these wallets are like vehicles, phones, computers and many other marketed products .. newer, improved models come out year after year. You can trade all of those things in and upgrade, but they won’t give you a new one just because it’s improved. I understand you mentioned yours was unusable, so that’s a different story, but if that was the case I hope you emailed the dealer or customer service when you first got it.
Likewise, mine was never used... arguably also impossible to use. As magicians, stuff like that just goes into the "bottom drawer." We chalk it up to terrible design rather than calling and making a big stink. But when the exact same product is released as a "fixed version" it's kind of expected that those with the broken version should be given access either for free or for a small fee. This was the case with Dropped Call, Atom Remote, Cypher Pro, Inject 2... just to name a few.
I don’t disagree, but I had issues with Dex, the nexus wallet and a number of other things being unusable because of poor quality and I contacted support immediately and was refunded.
So disappointed with the first one after they hyped it so much. Won't be getting a second one
That’s fair
How do you actually know if you have version 4. Your link shows saturn magic selling Mk2?
Steve
At the bottom of the description (on Saturn magic) it says the mk2 is the newest version. No idea what mk2 stands for but if you don’t have a frosted ID window it states that’s the newest version. Unless it hasn’t been updated.
It is all rather confusing
@@funjuror I would maybe just send an email. Im not sure.
Except it looks FA like a wallet. It looks like what it is… a prop!
I would have agreed with this years ago, but these days I’ve seen so many (non magic) minimalistic wallets of similar look that I don’t feel it looks out of place now.
