I waited a long time to purchase "Envy-Lope" because for a long time it was available with only a
red-back. Most of my card work is with blue-backed decks and I didn't want an obvious deck switch.
One of the Penguins helpfully suggested doing a deck color change, and then going into a red
Envy-Lope. And I probably would have taken his advice, had this not later become availble with a
blue back.
Contrary to what some other reviewers have posted, the quality of mine was
excellent. Yes, there is a crease, which is understandable to the viewer because you fold the empty
card envelope when it first goes in to your pocket.
I showed it to my wife and two sons,
who have all seen a ton of my magic, and all three were blown away by the deck transposing into an
envelope. They are a tough sell, because they have seen so much magic and because I'm usually
unpolished when I run my test run by them.
Tonight will be my first public performance and
I am excited. My only regret is that because of its small size, you can't really do this on a stage.
I'm not sure if this would work with a jumbo deck. But if Brandon David and Chris Turchi came up
with a stage version, I would definitley buy it. They would need to add an extra jumbo deck to the
package, however, as the card really needs to be signed for maximum effect. Good work gentlemen!
