I bought this together with killer prediction elite.
I thought that if one of the 2 products fails me, then I have a backup.
Well I must say that I have a backup, but I don't need it. Either one is just fine.

What you get with unbelievalope is a set of envelopes, which will last you an incredibly long time, plus you get instructions on making your own, which I think is a plus. (you don't get the instructions to make your own with the killer prediction elite.

I love unbelievalope because the envelope is sturdy. It's visible and I already have some great ideas with this.

I bought it with the ideas in mind and I must say that I can perfectly use them for that, which is nice and doesn't happen that often when I buy a magic effect for which I have a certain use and I don't have to re-adjust my imagined routine to fit the method that I received.

All in all this is a great product.

Unbelievalope is a utility for magicians and mentalists that allows for hard hitting routines strong enough for any professional show, yet easy enough for hobbyists to use and get the same results.

Unbelievalope's custom made envelopes are so versatile, it can be performed on stage, strolling, table hopping or in your kitchen for friends and family.

From signed card mystery plots to confabulation routines, the applications for are only limited by your imagination!

This is the most simple way to do prediction chest effects with a simple envelope that I am aware of. The fact that it is in plain sight, and the switch is undetectable makes this a true mystery for laymen and magicians (who are not very up to date). The Unbelievalope gives you the ability to give the impenetrable illusion that you predicted anything, had any card to start with, and countless other effects.

So why four stars?
First, this does not come with a DVD, it comes with a code that you plug into a website to get a bunch of short clips. I hate not having a physical DVD, and I don't like not getting a Penguin download, but this is really not that important.
What is important to me is that you have to buy either the any card to any spectators wallet, or the TKO 2.0 to be able to perform this at it's best.

I am ecstatic about this product! there are only a few things that Annoyed me. In the end I recommend buying this.

Wow. The teaching by Mr. Kaylor was phenomenal. How easy is it? Super easy. The card to envelope is absolutely perfect for the ambitious card routine. The possibilities for this are endless. My favorite part had to be the prediction, it blows people's minds. You get three envelopes that are made to last, which is fantastic. All in all, my new favorite trick.

Thank you Mr. Kaylor

Most deceptive switch ever, very natural handling. Great video production. Many many uses. Very professionally made. They will last very long. If I should ever wear them out I would immediately order a new set because it's almost impossible to make them from this quality.Better than a $3000,00 prediction chest. I love it!

Don't hesitate, JUST BUY IT!!!

As soon as I viewed the well thought out downloads, I knew this was a keeper.
Using it frequently now with great success.
Still coming up with other delivery methods.

Extremely pleased with this purchase.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Unbelievalope.

I've felt reluctant to write this review because as much as possible, I want to keep this to myself. But I feel I owe this to the creator Jeff Kaylor.

If the following is too long to read, take it from this:
I bought one set of Unbelievalopes a little over a month ago.
I just bought two more sets (total of 6 Unbelievalopes).

I spilled coffee or something on one of mine so it is stained,
and another one I stapled in several places (was trying a weird idea).

The point is, I NEVER want to be without my Unbelievalope,
and I will never regret buying another two sets, just in case.

In short, my audiences have chosen the Unbelievalope
as their favorite thing in my show.

With Unbelievalope, you can do ANYTHING.

In the latest few months, in my show I perform around 10 tricks.
Some have been discarded and others have been added. Therefore Unbelievalope has competed with more than 10 tricks.

At the end of most shows, I ask the audience what their favorite thing was. Unbelievalope has risen to the top, with the most votes.
My audiences have whittled it down to Unbelievalope.

In my opinion, Unbelievalope is better than the Mullica wallet or Paperclipped (which audiences love as well, and I also love).

The three above tools achieve the same end.

In the following four ways, Unbelievalope beats Mullica wallet and Paperclipped:

1. It is more natural and familiar in appearance.

2. The prediction can be larger (I've used a blank Tarot card as the prediction, which is much larger than a playing card), lending itself to confabulation (which I have not done) or drawing duplication (which I have done several times with Unbelievalope but would never do with Mullica or Paperclipped)

3. Partly because the cover for "the move" is larger, it is technically easier.

4. It is easier and more natural to perform remotely via webcam than Mullica (Unbelievalope beats Mullica Wallet on #4, however Paperclipped is also easier via webcam)

5. In #2 point, I mentioned that you can do more things with Unbelievalope than you can with other switching devices because you are not restricted to a playing card size or business card size billet. But moreover, Unbelievalope arouses less suspicion from the outset.
There have been several times when I displayed my Mullica wallet that a spectator remarked, "That wallet is huge!" or "Haha, what? A wallet inside a wallet?" It didn't ruin the effect of course, but it's a statement on the point of how natural and familiar that device is to laypeople. If a mentalist use this as a serious prediction, then the Mullica wallet looks too "magicky." It will still blow people's minds, but frankly, some will wonder "what is up with that weird wallet within a wallet."

With the Unbelievalope, I started using brown Kraft envelope within the Unbelievalope with the prediction inside the smaller envelope. It was both more technically difficult for me to load the prediction and seal the brown envelope, but also its appearance was more magicky. I was making my performance much more difficult, but not improving the end effect (except maybe it would impress magicians watching). So I cut off the edges of the brown envelope and now use just the brown billet inside, so it looks like a greeting card or something in an envelope (it makes sense).

The idea is simple yet brilliant, and you WILL use this. One caveat: PRACTICE! While the handling is straightforward, it is NOT “automatic”. You must pay attention to your handling or risk exposing everything. Not particularly angle sensitive (175+ degrees), but stuff can move around on you.

Also, it can break DURING performance! The simple cure here is maintenance before every show. Easy but necessary.

All that said, I LIKE this device.

(Perhaps of even greater value here is the knowledge to make your own out of other things, for example a real postal envelope or different colors or custom sizes. Very useful information.)

I’m looking at putting a confabulation routine into my corporate show. While investigating various methods and routines, I settled on Unbelievalope. I chose this for a couple of reasons. One was that I had seen this in action and liked the handling. Two, it was mentioned (in one of the user reviews) that we were taught how to actually make the envelopes. Well, I purchased it from Penguin. Didn’t realize there was a 2.0 out. When I received the package, I tried to access the Magic Estates web site for instructions and got a message that the site was suspended. I reached out to Erik at Penguin and he uploaded the 2.0 instructions to my account, claiming they would work (btw, they will not work). I can get the gist of the handling, but I’m not taught how to make replacement envelopes. Plus the 2.0 product is far superior. Wish I had investigated further on that one. I just paid $44 for three envelopes that once they’re done I have to spend another $44 dollars to replace them. As an aside, Unbelievalope 1.0 was immediately discontinued from Penguins website. Lucky me. I got the last one sitting on the shelf. Woohoo. I will be more diligent with my future Penguin purchases.

Amazing clever method for a great clean switch !! This is a must for any mentalist or magician .. easy but deceptive.. I really love this !!
