I love Craig’s reviews and performances, his ability as a magician would put 95% of other magicians to shame imho.
I wanted it to confirm how I felt the peek worked and not everyone has to be on performing mode when they are just being helpful sat at a table.
The thing I don’t like about this wallet is what is it made of and the zipper which I believe will snag up at some point and be even worse pulling on this type of material.
I would say that when a quote has already been used by the creator saying “this is the best wallet I have ever seen” it’s a slippery slope to be at all negative.
I got that from Craig’s review on how that quote came about and I felt personally he knew it would never be the easiest product to review based on that quote the creators used.
It’s like Simon Cowell on BGT saying “it amazes me” and a magician then using that forever, when in fact what Simon really said was “it amazes me that you have the front to come on here and actually believe you have talent”.
Of course it’s clear Craig loves it, has his quote been used slightly in an over the top manner by Murphy's?
My personal opinion is yes it has Gaz 😊

It was quite clear from your posts and N8's post prior to the review being released that you expected Craig to be negative on the wallet and it now seems your disappointed that he wasn't. So basically you're saying you don't believe him and that he lied in the review but you're qualifying that by saying he had to stick to his original comment. No, he didn't. He could have said he didn't know what material it would be, how it would function in his hands etc...he could easily have backtracked. But he didn't, he was, I believe, genuinely enthusiastic about it because HE ACTUALLY LIKES IT. You just can't accept that...quite bizarre.

The exact opposite David I thought the review was less positive than I was hoping it was going to be.
I wanted it to dispel my concerns on the material etc so I actually felt (because I can dot the i’s and cross the T’s) underwhelmed by it.
I actually said that it my first post after watching it?
It could well be fantastic and I’m certain it will be for many, I would need to actually see one in person and have a play around with it to really know

It’s also great David if you have already thought outside the box and have other ideas for it.
That would make a big difference to anyone’s decision on buying something, after all it’s you who will be using it Gaz 😊

Craig's review was particularly good. Shame on the detractors. It is a review not a performance, and it sold me. It was designed to ‘help us decide’.

I always appreciate a good utility and recognize it for what it is. The bottom line is, I'm the performer. It’s up to me to make the magic real.

I tend not to listen to the nose pickers.

I have a lot of similar envelopes, from Propdog, Dave Bonsall's "Bonsalopes".
Have anybody tried these with Nexus?

First of all, I’m not trying to sell anyone on the Alias wallet, but it’s still my favorite peek wallet. Not very impressed with the peek on the Nexus. Some have said it’s very similar to the Alias wallet peek, or it’s the reverse of Alias. But it’s seems pretty obvious exactly when the peek is happening with Nexus and it’s much harder to see the moment with Alias.

Don't take too much umbrage on the criticism Craig - part and parcel of being brave enough to put yourself out there. Whilst I thought you handled the peek badly it DID give me an idea on how I would use such a routine and your second routine used a feature that I will use albeit differently. End result is that you helped sell the wallet to me, regardless.

I’m not trying to disagree. The peek could have been handled better.

I’m serious though. I spend hours learning tricks because I think performing a routine is a better way to show a product in a review than just talking about it. But it’s not worth it to be honest. I understand why no other reviewers perform the routines they review. It takes a lot of time. If you nail the performance it’s expected but if it’s anything less than perfect it’s criticised. And rightfully so in this case. I just think it would make my life easier if I don’t bother.

Guess I have a lot to think about.

Actually Craig I actually appreciate that you do perform the effects

In fact even though I might not agree with everything you say for reviewing your channel is my first choice

Some of the other review shows are getting more and more pointless with endless talk and cutaways to the trailers ( which people can watch anytime )

So please don't give up giving performance on your review show that is what sets your channel ahead of the others

I bought this wallet only for the peek. I have Blink 1, Alias and many more. I have to say this is the best peek option I have come across and I`m very happy with the wallet. Nexus and The Peek Note wallet is now my number one choice when it comes down to the peek function.

I do however agree that the quality should be better for such an expensive wallet.

Hello Thomas - Medium envelopes are too big for the wallet. Javier teaches a folded card to envelope. Unfolded card to envelope is not taught in the instructions, because the envelope style supplied is not conducive to that. Thank you!
