The author is really clever to utilize TDBT variation idea. That move justify everything.

Let's compare to the others on the market.

- Dark Arts, you end dirty but you can fly with easy switch. The downside is you have to prepare a gimmick and a little bit of reset. Spectator can not track down.
*Spectator can open their drawing themselves.

- Blank Reading, well this require "blank card" only. You can not use business card.
*Spectator drawing out of view longer.
*Spectator can't open their drawing themselves.

- Dan solve all of the problems above. Spectator can open their drawing themselves.
This feeling like Acidus Novus,TDBT using envelope. The good thing is the author prepare a video.

Couvert is worth more than Blank Reading because this product prepare a good video and better technique.

Thanks Sarin for your feedback!



Here we go again Pablito...

We are not even comparing Blank Reading with Couvert!

It's Duplica vs Couvert.

We all agree Duplica is much cleaner. Again you don't have a clue, you don't own Duplica.

Hi Jose,

I am a person who Pablo mention.

Sarin Suriyakoon is me.

It's my fault comparing "Blank Reading" with "Couvert Peek". Sorry about that.

I have nothing against you Jose.

And I don't know Pablo personally.

He never give me free copy. You never give me free copy.

I never buy Pablo's ebook before.

I have bought a lot of Jose ebook(blank reading,censored,duplica,duplo,evil twin,IQPA,The Scanner 2.0).

Now let's talk about Couvert Peek and Duplica.

Ok, I only used Couvert Peek.

I have both methods but

"Why I use Couvert Peek?"

- I don't have to **** envelope. In this case I used DIY envelope at that time from "Dark Art" presented by Matthew Johnson. I can't **** it with DIY envelope. And I don't like to **** envelope which is my personal reason.

- I don't need to **t index card to fit in envelope. Yes, I "need" to **t index card to fit in "Dark Art" envelope(and even with coin envelope 6.4x10.8cm that I bought later on still has a same problem).

- I can use business card.

- Duplica doesn't has a video explanation with it.

- Dan reply my email and discuss with me. Jose doesn't reply my email that I pointed the issues above(It's ok).

So I decided to use Couvert Peek.

Again above reasons are my humble opinions but I dedicated time to study and "test" couvert peek with real audiences.

I would like to see an opinion of someone who use and test both methods too.

Hope this helps Jose.

Hey Prager, I've PM'd and emailed you several time and you don't read or respond. Not a very good way to treat your customers.

I really like the Couvert Peek! Very clever thinking/handling. Ungimmicked index card. Ungimmicked envelope. The subject can hold the envelope up to the light with the folded card inside, examine it, put it in their pocket and keep it. There is nothing to find.

This one has many possibilities. Excellent utility device, not just for DDs.

Really pleased to announce that the original Couvert Peek has now been updated and expanded. Two new variations have been added to the original method; one of which will, I'm sure, become your favourite handling when performing the effect. Even better news, the new material is FREE to all purchasers of the original manuscript. Simply visit the password protected link in the original PDF to download the Addendum.

This is a truly outstanding utility peek. Very deceptive. Very easy to execute. Plus, both the card and envelope are ungimmicked. You can give the spectator their drawing sealed in an opaque envelope to keep as a souvenir. Dan mentions in the manuscript this is what he does.

No need for a peek wallet! No need to tear up the card! And the supplies literally cost pennies per performance.

The Couvert Peek is really wonderful.

I've been experimenting with different cards and papers to use with the Couvert Peek. Also with different handlings. If you happen to have a stack of Hull cards the Couvert Peek becomes an ideal way to get the information without doing the traditional Hull card move. So it becomes very useful for one-on-one readings using a Hull card without actually having to reverse the card.

You can also do a "test conditions" experiment with the Couvert Peek by folding the envelope in half (or thirds) then putting it into a second envelope, and having the spectator put it in their pocket. Certainly not necessary, and some may think it's over-proving, but it's a nice option to have.

What I like best about the Couvert Peek is it uses completely ungimmicked cards and envelopes which you can buy from many sources for cheap. No need to worry about losing an expensive wallet or other device. Each performance costs pennies and your spectator keeps the card and envelope. Very, very cool.
