The wallet is cheaply made and will not last long because of quality. Depending on the lighting you
can see a big circle at the window. A very poor design for the gimmick in general. Not worth the
money. The original Thought Transmitter was so much better in my option.

I can not believe how low rated this utility device is here on penguin. It’s mind blowing. The only
solace I can find is that there’s so few reviews for V3.
I’ve owned every version of this
effect and over the years there’s only ever been a couple slight modifications. The best thing about
v3 is that you can use business cards and replace the battery.
The method is unlike any
other method for similar effects.
It also bugs me reading reviews where people
indicate this effect is not for working professionals. I’ve heard that so many times and in this
case, it’s incredibly unjustified. I’m a working pro and I’ve performed This effect well over 100
times in paid gigs and never had any issues whatsoever. True, you do have to watch lighting and you
need some level of audience management, but those tags come with 80% of the magic on the market.
Listen, it’s not the best wallet out there, in my opinion, quality wise, but the reactions
I’ve been able to muster with this device has solidified it in my close up/mentalism repertoire and
given me absolutely no reason to replace it with anything else.
I don’t care why anyone
out there tells you...there’s nothing more important in magic than audience reaction to an effect,
and I promise you this wallet can deliver at the highest level.

I agree with the other reviewer. I was a big fan of v1 until the battery went flat and I couldn't
change it. This version is a step back. Poor quality plastic build. With all the feedback from
version 1 I am amazed that the Pro version is as poor quality as it is and more complicated to use.
There is also a big risk of a flash in the wrong environment.

I ordered this before reading any reviews, and immediately wished I had not done, realizing I would
have to return it after all negative reviews.
However, having received the item and watching
the download, I must admit I am very pleased with it.
It does what it says..it is a peek device,
and does exactly that.
I had no big problems with lighting, maybe just lucky so far, but I would
put nobody off buying this item.

Great device, different from any peek wallet on the market! The only reservation I would make of
this great device is the size of the peek area, which could have been gigger - But that's fine with
me anyway!
Technology is good. Wallet quality is not good as compared to others. You can't perform it at very
low light or very bright light condition. Hence not good for professional working. If you just want
to do a peek this is for you. But remember that the method is light sensitive. Accessories are just
useless. You can't perform it when spectators are looking from behind or from side.

The Original wallet is better back in 2003

I didnt but this through Penguin, but I'm letting everyone here know this wallet is NOT worth your
time. The window is too obvious, the are "leaks" everywhere, and if you show the dirty side for less
than a second, they'll spot the work. Pitiful excuse for a wallet.

Not impressed. This device has a defective battery or light, not sure which. Also, the URL and
password combo does not work! No excuse for murphy's magic not getting this right!
