Hey Nique! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this, construct it, and make a video reviewing it!
In regards to "removing the billet" - I generally keep billets. I've got loads of them. In performance, it goes like this:
- Give them the billet, ask them to write their favorite movie
- Do the performance
- Afterwards, IF they ask about the card they wrote on (they generally don't, but if they do), then my response is: "I'd like to hang onto it. I meet a lot of wonderful people, such as yourself, but sometimes the memories get tangled. Two years from now, I want to look back at this and remember the great experience we had together, Vivian. Consider it a souvenir."
Now they feel so special! They're not 'just another audience member' - they're a person who the mentalist (a person with this extraordinary ability) wants to remember.
Or, if doing a QA, it already makes sense for the performer to keep it.
If the reallllly want it back, then you just look at the short edge, flip through & find the one with writing and give it back to them.
Best,
Tom
I put this together yesterday, and I must say, it's excellent. The action of getting the peek is almost the same as a card peek in a deck (a Marlo concept, I think) from Henry Hay's The Amateur Magician's Handbook that I learned when I was a teenager. I've never been called out on that peek, and I think your peek will go right over the spectators' heads.
Great review,love the funny clips in between
Tom´s Ideas are great. I Combine that Peel with Paul Carnazzo Pac Stack Idea. Turn into a killer gimmick. Any pack of billets who I have in pocket, have one "gimmick" that setup...
Thx one more awesome review, Nique
Thats what i said!
This fits right in to Scott Creasey’s minimal mentalism work. Plus you can also use the stack of billets for Phill Smith’s The Biz peek - perfect for that second participant.
Where can I get the Biz peek?
@@pacozaaskr14 it's part of Phill's Humint release and on his Penguin Live and Alakazam Academy downloads.
Extremely well done review! 👍
Thank you. 🤗
Great review, Nique! This is quite a coincidence, but my friend Bill suggested to me (also Bill) that I recommend you to his friend, also named Nique. 🤔 @ 6:28 you had me laughing 😂Thanks for your helpful and funny reviews! Keep them coming!
That’s a confusing situation you described, haha! 🤣
Love you to review THE INTO WALLET from TCC. I think it ticks all the boxes. Great peek/peeks, and a card or borrowed ring etc. to a sealed envelope inside your zippered wallet will also do a no palm card to wallet it is minimalist in design and has all you need as EDC., not leather but very well made, and you could buy 3 of them for the cost of most magic wallets. I have only seen one review on youtube; it deserves a much wider audience.
I’d love to if I can get my hands on a set; thanks for the heads up! 👍🏻
@@niquetan The set is OK, but the Into stands out.
@@funjuror got one on the way. 👍🏻
Another brilliant review. This peak sounds very practical and workable 😀
Excellent review, as always. I'm glad that you're feeling better.
Thanks Chris; yeah I’ve still got a nagging cough that needs stifling when I speak, but other than that I’m feeling alright! 🤗
Hey Nique great review, and I also agree that making a prop yourself and using it is very satisfying. With that being said have you ever seen Stegosaurus by Phill Smith? Its a great 3 phase DIY trick, I think you would like it. Keep up the great work !!
Thanks for watching! Yeah I have made up Stegosaurus (it’s somewhere amongst all my mountain of stuff); fun piece for sure. 👍🏻
Very happy to help! I like it a lot.
Thanks for the referral! 🤗
Thanks. I will order the download. I use my business cards with out to lunch. I see a use for the peek with my biz cards too.
I hope you enjoy and get use out of it! 👍🏻
This reminds me of insider by Marc Oberon. It’s a peak device made into a stack of index cards
I love stuff like this. Tops!
Its just an opinion but i think marc oberon insider is the definitive billets peek
uuuh, sounds interesting indeed !
Hmmm....can you make the spectator drawing rise to the top while the pack still wraped in a Rubber band? 🤔
Unfortunately… no. 🤣🤣🤣
@@niquetan I was thinking if in the middle of my mentalism set using this index pack, suddenly one of the spectator scream
"..it's just a Trick lah!!.."
Then I can end by making their Card with their drawing rises to the top (while the deck still wrapped in a rubber bands)
And then use the rubber bands for Crazyman Handcuff and end with Souvenir Linking Rubber Band
@@RomyRafaelMind killer routine right there dude. 🤣
@@niquetan and dont forget .....Maximum Pocket Space 😂😁
What do you recommend for doing confabulation style mentalism?
Great review. How does this compare to Paul Carnazzo's PaC Stack? The peek looks very similar and it sounds like the limitations and restrictions are similar too.
Hi Graham! It's not like his. I probably shouldn't say too much here because I don't want to give away any part of Paul's method. Let's just say that The Worker's Peek doesn't require as much cutting, and you don't have to worry about lighting.
Best,
Tom
Hey Graham, what Tom said! Again to be fair I don’t have PAC Stack but from what I gather they’re different methods with a similar look in execution. 🤗
My opinion - this has a few advantages over Carnazzo's devious PaC Stack, with the exception that you can purchase the PaC Stack already made.
@@niquetan Thanks Nique. The easiest way to describe the PaC Stack peek is to think of the Alias wallet. It sounds like this is indeed different and that I might have to spend more money...
@@skywardmagic5754 Thank you. Is it fair to say then that the peek is the 'right way' round? If so ooooh that's tempting ...
Great info, Nique, and I really appreciate your insight. I'm just getting into billet work and like the look of the cards you use. Can you share which cards you use for your billets?
I order double blank bridge sized playing cards from Amazon or something like that. They come in boxes of like, 500 I think. Haven’t bought them in awhile; my previous order I got quite a handful to keep me going for a bit. 👍🏻
Ah PaC Stack also the first question that comes to mind. Obviously this is the third comment about it. Maybe PaC Stack next review? Comparison video would be fair.
Nique, how is this different from Paul Carnazzo - PaC Stack?
Hi gullion111! It's not like his. Obviously I won't say too much here because I don't want to give away any part of Paul's method. Let's just say that The Worker's Peek doesn't require as much cutting, and you don't have to worry about lighting (I mean, you gotta be able to see). Also, you're getting a full peek - so they can write along the edge of the billet if they want to - it's easier if they don't... but they can and you'll still be able to see it.
Best,
Tom
What Tom said! To be fair I don’t have PAC Stack, but from what I gather they’re different methods with a similar look in execution. 🤗
My opinion - this has a few advantages over Carnazzo's devious PaC Stack, with the exception that you can purchase the PaC Stack already made. Nique mentioned some things in his review of this that you should know are different (better).
@@skywardmagic5754 Thank you for the reply and explanation.
@@niquetan Even though Nique says he doesn't have the PaC Stack, he does describe most of the differences in his review, if you know what the PaC Stack is.
What a great review. (as always) Can you use business cards or do they have to be double blanks?
Business cards are fine; you’d just need to be careful with orientation. 👍🏻
For me it doesn't make sense to get the drawing back and insert it to a stack of business cards. It looks like a card trick and not that magical to my eyes.
I have to totally disagree with your review here. I purchased this and am unable to build the gimmick, because the tutorial is not good enough. There is a lot of information missing from it than you probably didn’t notice because you’re a professional but I was totally confused.
Have you tried contacting Tom? I’m sure he’ll sort you out.
@@niquetan Idont have his email or contact info. I tried to contact skyward magic but i havent heard anything back.
