It looks like you'd have to be very careful of angles with the Nexus peek. On each of the reviews it was easy to see when they used the peek function.
Both reviews were very good and help people to make the right decision if it's something that would work for them, appreciated guys, thanks. I think for the moment I'll definitely be staying with the Shadow. If I want to have CTW for Cerebral I'll either just load my pocket or use the SansMind hip pocket minimalist wallet as my back up. |

David's review states that the Thought Transmitter Pro's peek is not very clear. For me, the TTP's peek is as clear as it gets. He said to watch his full review on the TTP where he does some modifications. I watched it, but saw no indication of how the peek was made more clear. He had some great suggestions re: replacing the accessories that come with TTP, though. Perhaps he meant something other than 'visually' clear. Or perhaps I missed it. But the peek on mine is crystal clear.

OK, so I've now had the opportunity to properly work with my Shadow Wallet at gigs (remember those things before COVID) and must say that it totally rocks! I LOVE IT!!!!!!
I'm using it as my everyday wallet too - slightly tweaked it but removing the index insert to allow me to easily fold up bank notes and put them in the main peek entry portion of the wallet. Having the folded notes also helps in inserting the business card with the written info too.
Magically,

Having bought (and sold) many wallets, the JOL Jaks remains my preferred peek wallet. Love the quality of the smooth, genuine leather, the ease of use, the fact that you can casually show both sides after getting the peek, just before putting it away. In my opinion, it really is the best peek wallet ever made.

After these past few months of some amazing peek wallets and everything wallets. My all time champion winner is still the Shadow Wallet by Dee Christopher.
It’s very well made It’s very slim and minimalistic It has a 6 or 12 out index built in. It is big enough to hold some extra magic tricks It’s made out of genuine leather if you choose the real leather version. The peek is absolutely perfect and very easy to get a full peek. If handled correctly it’s completely invisible to your spectator.

I am looking forward to using it with spectators soon. I was interested in your modification to the indexes. I can see how that would make inserting a business card easier, but I assume that means you don’t perform the card choice effect? I would be keen to hear what you perform with the wallet, but would understand if you prefer to keep that to yourself. Cheers!

Been using the Shadow Wallet as my EDC for a while now, but recently had a spectator make a jibe about "probably seeing what was written with my magic wallet" which slightly threw me. Eek. I stayed calm, joked, managed to convince them it wasn't possible and moved on successfully to something else.
But it did make me think: does the Shadow Wallet have an issue with providing a peek in the most psychologically obvious place (a window). Talking to the bloke (oldish, alpha japer - you know the type) afterwards and it became clear this is what had prompted the thought. He was used to old-fashioned wallets. This looked weird to him and therefore "magic-y"). Must say, it's put me off using it a little. Even if specs are saying such things, we can't be sure they aren't thinking them. |
