Before I ordered this item, I hesitated because I don't like the methods where you put back the
business card with the drawing or the word of the spectator, in the stack of the business cards. For
me, it is not logical. I know, you can say : I put the business card in the stack so I cannot see
what you wrote on this card. But, personnaly, when I saw such an action, I know that there will be a
peek. Sometimes, I do not know how the peek is done, but I know that there will be a peek. I think
perhaps as a magician, but even for lay people, I think it seems odd.
However I still
ordered this item, because I thought the method allowed to be more logical, but it is not the case.
And the suggestion of putting back the card in the stack, then putting the stack in an envelope is
odder and is not a good idea. If you want to isolate a card with an envelope, you put the card
directly in the enveloppe.
But if you don't mind of putting back the business card of the
spectator in the stack of business cards, buy this item, I'm sure you will like the peek.

I normally don't write reviews, but this is not a normal trick. I've tried several different
gimmicks and peeks in order to get a good drawing duplication. This is by far the best I have found!
I was skeptical at first and bought it on a whim. I am so glad I did!

I purchased this effect direct from Arthur and not from Penguin after stumbling upon a thread on a
magic forum. The mechanics of this peek can be learned very quickly, it gives a full view of the
card and is 99% angle proof. It's beauty is in it's simplicity like many great effects in magic.
Unlike a previous reviewer I see no problem with returning the card to the centre of the stack to
'isolate' it and with proper framing neither will your spectators. Without doubt this is the best
value full card peek out there.

Underlooked has given me more pocket space. I no longer need to carry my peek wallet.
I no
longer need to either fold or rip a business card to get a peek and my participant can remove the
card from the center of the stack of cards themself. No strange or complicated sleights.
Just
what can you use this peek for? A word, a birthdate, a name, a simple drawing duplication.
I
consider myself fortunate to have been able to get this directly from ArthurT before it showed up
here on Penguin Magic.
His teaching style is superb.

Effing brilliant! The organic nature, the clean, honest handling elevate this peek into the
stratosphere. Just wow!

I have several p***s I use but, like many here have said, it never hurts to have another one.
I was toying with an idea today on how to do something like this and decided to dig around and I
am so glad I did!
Also, like most others, it was a "duh" moment on method but I give you
credit Arthur for being the one to find it and THANK YOU for sharing it!
For those thinking
about it, stop thinking and hand over your money. You will be glad you did. I certainly am.

I picked this up over a year ago and still love it. It's absolutely worth having in the arsenal.
If you already use double blank cards definitely take a look at this. It's not going to replace a
CT and it's not meant to. The first time I thought to use this I was surrounded, and it was the
perfect tool in that moment. I originally dismissed this, but opinions I trust kept recommending
it. Try it out in front of a mirror for half an hour and you have it forever. Not much of a
downside imo. Your mileage may vary of course.
Good luck.

As a hypnotist and mental list I absolutely love this peak. This may become my new favorite. It's
always nice to have more than one way of making a prediction with billets or business cards and this
adds a whole new dimension that I abso lutely love. Spend the money by this trick you will not be
sorry I would give it 10 stars if I could

For several years I experimented with different peek wallets and center tears. Many of the peek
wallets were clever. But after using them for a while, I would find myself looking for "something
more".
My experiences with different center tears was similar. I would excitedly buy
one, learn it, practice it hundreds of times, then go out and use it. Only to eventually find some
dissatisfaction with the method, and that yearning for "something more". I went from one CT to the
next, over several years.
Then I discovered business card stack peeks. Banachek teaches 2
PSI series which are great. There are other excellent business card peeks including Underhanded.
But Underlooked is currently my favorite. It is incredibly deceptive and equally easy to execute.
The set-up takes seconds. Use virtually any business cards. No gimmicks. No envelopes. No arts
and crafts. No wallets. The spectator's card really does go in the middle of the stack - and stays
there.
I put a rubber band around the stack and either drop the stack on the table, or
hand it to the spectator to hold. There is nothing to find. You end completely clean.
Absolute genius!
