This looks great, but I'm a bit uncertain about the angle/close-up restrictions. Would it be practical to use this in a small show performed in a living room, for instance. That is, a small living room parlour show with the audience maybe only a metre or two away (but seated broadly in front of the performer)? Is the restriction just around angles, or is it also related to how close the audience can be for this prop to be effective? If some people are sitting towards the edge of a living-room, how much of an issue would this be? Are others already using this in similar situations, or is it only for larger stage shows?

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for the interest. I have done it numerous times in a parlor setting, with the audience 3 feet away.
I place the envelop on a stand at the start of the show, asking one person to keep a close eye.


Yes it has angle restrictions but in reality it is really that they can't look from behind. The flow of actions is pretty natural.

Thanks Arnaud. That's pretty much how I was hoping to use the prop, so I'll be buying this and will get in touch if I've got any issues with using it in my situation!
