The Blurb
THE AD COPY:
A 14th Century Old English word for ‘BLINDFOLD’, or “Cover the Eyes”.
The BLINDFELLAN BLINDFOLD, is a perfect example of things that are not quite what they seem to be. While it appears that the performers head is wrapped in a thick opaque bandage, it is in fact wrapped in a custom designed purpose-built material that replicates that of a standard bandage.
It has two qualities that set it apart from the cloth Ace bandages that it so closely resembles.
The first is that it sticks to itself, so there is no need to pin, tape or knot it after putting it on. While this makes it very convenient to use as a blindfold or as a base for an even more elaborate eye covering, its other quality is what makes it particularly valuable to the mentalist.
I first discovered the unique properties of this material around 20 years ago and published this method of a bandage wrap around 2019 within my publication titled ‘The Virtual Centre Tear’, however since I made this publication many performers have reached out to me directly in search for the perfect material bandage, after many years of trial and error this gave birth to the new updated BLINDFELLAN BANDAGE. An item until now, that hasn’t been discovered by mentalists, magicians or mystics.
What sets the BLINDFELLAN apart from other styles of blindfold is firstly its innocent appearance. It can be fully examined by spectators.
But more importantly although the entire head is fully encased the performer has FULL VISIBILITY, compared to other similar blindfold methods that limit the performers visibility into looking down…
Within my previous publications there was limitations with the lighting, however with the new updated BLINDFELLAN BANDAGE, this will now also work in low lighting situations as well as well-lit environments equally as well.
Within each package you will receive one custom designed reusable BLINDFELLAN BANDAGE which measures over 4.5m in length.
You will also receive a download link video tutorial.
And also, a full in-depth download PDF covering the History of the Blindfold Act & the Blindfold Drive. Also, the method for the BLINDFELLAN BANDAGE WRAP, and several routines using the BLINDFELLAN BLINDFOLD suitable for all levels of experience.

WHAT IT IS:
A bandage wrap blindfold.
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE AD COPY IS:
According to the ad, this is a “custom designed reusable BLINDFELLAN BANDAGE.” Yet I was able to order this easily from Amazon. The ad copy leads you to believe that this is a very special self-adhesive bandage that is exclusive and designed by this product’s creator. This is entirely misleading and needlessly so, since these bandages should only be used a couple of times and then, for health reasons, replaced.
SET-UP AND RE-SET:
The creator claims that it is necessary to remove the wrap from the spool in order to use it. The only reason I can see for doing that is so that audience members will not recognize it.I’m not so sure this is really necessary.
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Parlor, Stage, Walkaround
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
This is a good idea for those who want to use an inexpensive and effective blindfold. However, selling it as a unique, custom-designed blindfold is deceptive and inconsiderate. Fortunately, the item is priced very reasonably, more reasonably than I’d expect. Still, since the ad copy may deceive many, I cannot enthusiastically recommend this.
