I offer this item, but with a few caveats: 

First caveat:  It is NOT the fabulous tenyo item called Wild wallet.  It is the same effect, but (I assume) an unauthorized production of Tenyo's item.  But since the Wild Wallet has not been produced by Tenyo for 15 years (if I count their Professional version) and almost 20 years if we are looking at the basic Wild Wallet, this version offers an opportunity for non-Tenyo-collectors to try out this excellent effect.  (It is such a good trick, that it should still be in Tenyo's line.)

Second caveat:   The cards are well made, with clear printing, etc.  But the wallet is not really a wallet at all -- it is a simple cardboard folder, with a very thin cellophane window.  It works fine, so you can still perform the amazing changes that occur in this trick.  But it feels a bit delicate, and so you need to excercise some care not to break it.  (This was also true -- less so, but true -- with the original vinyl wallet in the Tenyo trick -- many of the original Wild wallets ended up in the junk pile when the wallet straps broke.)   Just know that the "wallet" in this version is really more of a folder,  hence my clever name, the Feral Folder.

Okay, here's the routine (that plays great to both kids and adults):     In a nutshell, a small folder is shown, and a card picturing an empty circus cage is placed under the cello-window portion of the wallet. Four cards showing circus animals are shown, and the spectator freely chooses an animal. This card is placed in the wallet, and when the wallet is opened, the animal has vanished, and is now printed on the cage card, in the cage.   Note a few things: animal is freely selected after cage card is in the wallet, and cage card is isolated under the window section.   This will even fool you, the first time you try it.

This is a great way to experience the magic of Tenyo's Wild wallet for a reasonable price -- since the original Tenyo WW's go for about $125 on the secondary collector market now.   Brand new, with instructions.  (If you play around with the folder and some business cards or folded currency, you can probably work out a few other interesting quickies that do not use the Animal card set).  

P.S.   If you have a Tenyo Wild Wallet, this set of cards will work perfectly in it, so you might could use this version's cards as spares or replacements.
