VSK Magic Case
I saw something like this for sale online and I thought it was a great idea. Its basically a small case you can carry around and keep your small magic stuff in. Things get mixed up and lost in pockets, and this case was a great way to keep things organized. It was kind of expensive though, and made out of leather, so I decided to make my own instead. I used cards as my base material again, covering them with construction paper and black cloth. The case I made has a space for a deck of cards, some individual card slots, a coin pouch that can expand to fit another deck, and window for business cards. It also has Velcro to stay closed and a VSK logo on the outside, which helps for advertisement and to look professional 😉

7-Up Soda Can Wallet
Thats right, a wallet made out of a real aluminum soda can. I don’t remember how I got this idea, but we had some 7-Up, and I really wanted to try something new. So I did, and it worked! It was pretty hard, and took a lot of time. I had to wash out the can, cut off the top and the bottom, then down the side, and then clean it again and flatten it. Next I folded over the edges and rounded the corners, so it wouldn’t be sharp. Then I glued cards on to strengthen it, and used green construction paper for the rest. I decided it would be cool if I used a can on the inside too, so I did the same process with a second can and cut pieces for the inside. This part was really hard. I had to cut the pieces so they would line up and keep the design. It was also hard because the resources were limited, couldn’t cut off and waste any. Its easier when you have a lot of cards you can just stick together. Anyways, it seems like everyone likes this the best. I think I’ll keep it for myself.
Features:
-Money pocket
-3 Card slots
-1 ID window
-2 Deep Pockets
-Made from real Aluminum Cans

The VSK Signature Compact Card Wallet – For Sale!
After successfully selling the Ultimate Compact Card Wallet, I was inspired to make another card wallet. It couldn’t be exactly the same however, because I promised the buyer that they were the only one in the world who owned that wallet. Therefore I came up with another original design, very different from the last one. This can be the brother of the Ultimate Compact Card Wallet. It has 2 less slots than that ones, but has a large money pocket, a feature the last one lacked. This wallet is also a tri-fold, but opens horizontally, as opposed to the other one which opened down.
Features:
-Compact size
-2 Normal Card Pockets
-Central ID window
-Large Water Resistant Money Pocket
-2 Hidden Card Pockets
-Transparent Adhesive Coating
-Extra Strength and Durability -Holds over 20 Pounds! (see last image)
-VSK Signature logo
