Stealth Pouch : Shell Cordovan
"The stealth pouch has completely changed my approach to pocket management at gigs."
-- Jeff Black "Hollywood's Favorite Magician"
The professional close up strolling magician prepares.
They're clean, fresh, and sharply dressed.
Shoes are polished, watch is set.
Gimmicks are in place and ready.
The work horses, their decks of cards, are broken in.
Instead of loading up precious pocket space with the decks, the Pro slips them into a discrete holster that disappears under their jacket.
The decks are available at a moment's notice.
They head out, confident that their tools and skills can handle whatever the event throws at them.
A top close up magician needed a holster that could hold a deck of cards in a clip, or with a Gregory Wilson Revolution gimmick attached to the box. They wanted it to be flat to not affect the lines of their outfit when the decks were removed. It was to be simple, luxurious, durable.
We developed the Stealth Pouch, to suit their needs. It holds up to two decks of cards-- available at a moment's notice.
"I wear it to every gig!"
The pro performer was so enthusiastic about the new Stealth Pouch, they ordered several more, in rare exclusive materials.
The most accessible of the exotic stealth pouches produced is made of Shell Cordovan.
Shell Cordovan is a fibrous tissue layer obtained exclusively from a limited section of equine hindquarters. It takes six months and dozens of steps to process each small piece into the final product. Only a handful of tanneries around the world offer it. Tough, smooth, and rare, Shell Cordovan is used to make $500 wallets and $1,500 shoes. A fashion-minded friend of mine commented that, "Women notice leather like that."
Like Lignum Vitae or Blackheart, Cordovan leather is magically robust. The unique Shell fiber layer is a cross between muscle and tendon. The tissue is denser and tougher than other leathers made of hide. Its sheen, smoothness, and durability is renowned. Cordovan is considered the "Rolex of leathers" for its enduring quality— they can be used and passed on from generation to generation.
Each piece is hand cut and saddle stitched in the USA.
