I have actually posted this elesewhere on the Café, but I guess this is where it should actually go.
... I am constantly amazed how many full time mentalists and magicians I have worked with who, when asked to “do something”, have pulled out their Thought Transmitter. I even saw one of our top mentalists use it on the most popular UK TV chat show. However, admittedly, there are a couple of little problems. (1) It’s plastic. I wear an expensive hand-made suit, but I pull out this daft wee plastic business card holder. Hmmmm. (2) It can be waaay too bright on occasion! However, lucky me, I have discovered something a bit special recently, almost by accident (I have nothing to gain from the promotion of this item, by the way) It looks similar to the TT, but it is made of soft leather. The light is much more subtle. AND it’s a fair bit cheaper than the TT. Believe me, this is a BIG improvement. Also, I have seen the TT being held by a participant and in the act of holding it between their palms the light has come on! The switch on this version is a lot tighter… (I once found my TT with a flat battery because of the way it was packed in the case – it won’t happen with this version!) You can find it at http://www.lomondmagic.com/mind-readers-wallet-10-p.asp though I have to admit, the photograph you will find there does not do it justice. This is a top quality leather item of the sort I would carry anyway. In my opinion, a superb product at a very reasonable price. Drew |

The 'Mind Reader Wallet' is a knock off of the 'Thought Transmitter" that was created by John Cornelius. http://magicfakers.blogspot.com/search?q=wallet
If you want an elegant peek wallet to go with your hand made suits, get an Outlaw: http://outlaw-effects.com/outlaweffects/......temid=80 Café reviews: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......orum=109

There is also a item that does the same job by chris Kenworthey and produced by Elmwood Magic called the Telethought Wallet. there is nothing to light up on it, but lighting conditions can effect how well it works
http://www.elmwoodmagic.com/full/Magic-T......5894.htm The mind reader wallet is indeed the knock-off version but sounds like it is made better than the original. However this doesn't make it right and should be removed from the market! I was put of the origial when I saw a bad demo of it in a shop. I've never used an Outlaw Wallet but I have heard good things. It might also be worth checking to see if Jerry O'Connell makes a peek wallet. I have several of his different wallets and they all rock! |
