GREAT, very very great !!! … and nice.
I use folded banknote (as the 3 card monte wallet) into this wallet.
I love to make the gag to pay the restaurant or gasoline for my car, sorting out my jacket pocket the folded and crossed playing cards. After this by play I pull the opposite angle and “snap” the wallet is open, ready for sorting my real money.
Sorry, I love to make magic trick, and this is one good “out” for introducing me as magician. In my table hopping close-up magic this is one valid opener right for introduce my prefered 3 card monte routine…
The possibility for playng with this gadget is infinite and for any magic entertainment into magicians hands.
Only two parole: THANK YOU !

Without scaling, right?

The fit should be snug, but not too tight.

Reprinting with scaling did the trick. Still a tight fit, but it fits my prox card, license, and credit card. I?ll transpose the important data from various card (triple A, etc?) into the area where the Creative Commons anti-license sits and see how well it works out. It is meant to be minimalist, so I will try not to expect much.

Well, there you go – and all the way from New Zealand, that part of the globe we Americans like to call the World of Tomorrow.

I’ve succesfully folded the wallet using A4; you just have to make sure to not let Acrobat scale the diagram to fit the page, and it works beautifully!
