Um . . . what in the world is "food board" (maybe a typo?).

Yeah I presumed it was foam
But then when Ustaad responded... I started to think I was being thick and everyone knew what a food board was.... So can anyone who has got this confirm... when you have done the trick and are on the way home, and hungry... is the main envelope made out of uninterested food? |

Question: Can this device also be used to discover something that's been secretly written DURING the performance or is it limited to only the 4 pre-determined outcomes?

I hope the creator of SWITCH-A-LOPE also meant the same. @ Arnaud: It will be nice if you can please answer my queries (but not a must - it's your wish ):- (a) Is it a must to have an envelope made from food board? (b) Can the larger as well as the smaller envelope made proportionally smaller in size (say half the original size)?

Looks interesting - it would be nice for a chair routine I perform but then I’d need four of them! £$£$!!! Shame

While it could have been plastic it would not add to it being an envelope. Also there are some needs linked to the secret that were best served with this material. 2) One could make it smaller but this is really a stage prop, needs to play big. This for me gives it the right appearance and has never let me down as long as I perform this. Hope this helps... |

@ Arnaud: PERFECT! Thank you so much for answering my questions in a clear and concise manner.
So far, IMO, the best Four Way Envelope has been the Piatt Envelope (others opinion may vary). But after watching the SWITCH-A-LOPE demo video (and hoping that the Ad is 100% true) I feel that the SWITCH-A-LOPE will fill the much needed gap of an ORGANIC 4-way envelope. I will wait for an honest review.

Reminds of an effect from Martin Lewis, I think it was called technicolor prediction. Excellent effect.

So even needing to buy 4 of these props it would seem that you could easily recoup your investment in a single performance. So if it is truly a perfect solution for your needs I would think it would seem worthwhile to just get 4 of them. |
