Magic Tricks

There are a number of envelopes with similar functions and features, but the Worker’s Envelope has a (for lack of a better word) toggle-able nature that makes it more versatile than most other solutions I’ve seen. There are a lot of great concepts on the tutorial video. Some of the ideas make use of a “dummy” billet, but if you make your dummy billet slightly less dumb — by making it into one of the outs from Nick’s favorite routine — you’ll be set up to go in multiple different directions. This versatility makes it a perfect everyday carry.

The black color is useful in disguising part of the method, and it also makes the contents pop with contrast through the window, but I think it makes it look a bit out of place. I don’t think people will have seen something like this before. But it will be easy to make my own version. It still isn’t super common to see a coin envelope with a window, but I think it would fly to say, “I have a coin envelope with an address window” along the lines of Docc’s justification thinking. The color matching what people have seen before will help it feel more like a natural prop. This isn’t a criticism of the product as-supplied — I can appreciate why Penguin chose to make it in black. But for me personally, I’ll feel more comfortable making a version in Kraft brown or Manila color.
