WHAT IT IS:
Gimmick with routine(s) included
Instantly viewable/downloadable video
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE AD COPY IS:
I would argue with its claim that there are “no windows.” It’s a different type of window, but functions the same. It is hidden, though, until you need to use it.
SET-UP AND RE-SET:
It does take about ten minutes to construct one of the envelopes, if you need to replace it. In performance, though, the set-up and re-set depends upon the routine. In most cases, it’s just filling or re-filling the envelope.
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Parlor
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
If this wasn’t evident from the ad copy, consider this as a peek envelope, which is very well-constructed and allows for a full peek. It’s much easier to “read” than Manoj Kashul’s DECIPHER, but the envelope is more intricately designed, more complicated to make, and has more angle issues. In and of itself, it does work, though, and some may prefer the design and handling of this.
