I never got a chance to see this cold since I'd discussed it with Looch a lot in the development, but I've used and seen a lot of comparable devices and the Blink is very focused and very clean. It is strongly deceptive, but for all of us here: it's a peek case so you kind of know broadly what must be happening one way or another. I will say this though: it's very good. The mechanism it uses is innovative, it's easy to learn and do, and the structure of the method means you can do the necessary at your leisure which is something I like a lot. This asynchronous peek is what makes it work so well.

Lior, I think the Sponge is making a valid point. This is not a product about magicians being fooled and it strikes me as very dishonest or very stupid for any knowledgable mentalist to claim they were fooled by it.
Now, I don't know the mechanics of exactly how this works but I have a rough idea what he was doing. I think any observant mentalist would do. This is not a criticism of the method or the product which, knowing Looch's track record, will be nothing short of excellent. You do yourself and the product a disservice with throwing around "I was fooled" statements. Talk about the quality, talk about the cleverness of method but please...I can't see how you would be fooled. |

Lior, where was I impolite? You're the one throwing your reputation around as if that gives you the only right to an opinion. I have no interest in your workshop - why would I? You insist this product fooled you and you've got two people telling you they find that unlikely. If it DID fool you then I can't see what you would be able to offer me in a workshop.
And I apologise to Looch because I don't intend to derail a thread on what looks to be a quality product. |

Can you get a 100% peak of the card or just the area covered by the oval piece of leather?
This seems to be twice the price of all other peak wallets on the market. Is there a reason for that? Is it twice as good? I appreciate that some items are priced high to keep out of the hands of the hobbyist but when something is advertised on latest and greatest that's obviously not the case. Can people stop posting these really annoying threads where they act as if they are just mentioning a product they have happened to see and loved. We all know you are plugging the product for a friend who will do the same for you some time. No one is fooled by it and the superlatives, even if heartfelt, will always be met with cynicism. |

You are correct Ed.
I will be happy to help any friend that has a good product. Lior

This is surely an interesting development for a peek wallet. The seed of this idea might have been Bobby Motta's Informant wallet? Nevertheless, this will surely fool laypersons which is of course our intent. Could somebody who has this wallet please confirm what it actually says (the brand name etc.) on the embossed logo?

Question: can the spectator return the card back in the wallet (as long as you tell them where) or do you have to do it?

While I do not like nor condone the manner this conversation went, I do agree that the handling of the wallet looks pretty poor. I have never seen a wallet with a large emblazoned and raised mark on it (perhaps there are and I have just not seen them) and it does call a lot of attention to it -- his then hiding the circle, apparently manipulating it with his thumb does not impress me. So, if that is the method seems there are better choices. If not, then perhaps a better demo would help
