Product description: Guys, you know how much I like good quality products, such as really nicely made gimmick coins, brass things or leather gears. Secret Tannery is an outstanding company which produces wallets for the working magician. They had the Rebel & Rebel Note wallets which were awesome (still using mine by the way) and they have now produced the Peek & Peek Note Wallet, which allow you to peek something written down on a blank piece of paper. It’s made incredibly well and works a treat, let’s dive into this review.
Price and where to buy it: This is sold at 100€ and you can find it here https://www.secrettannery.com/product-page.
What you get: You get a nice cardboard box, which was missing in the previous wallet I think. Here, you get a real finished product with a designed packaging. Inside, wrapped in paper, is the wallet. The leather is the same high quality as the Rebel Note one along with the blue stitching. It’s a 2 fold, 3 “windows” wallet which can be shown front and back without exposing the gimmick. You’re also provided with an explanation video which is a bit too short in my opinion, it could have been longer with more routine but I’m a bit nit picky on this one. The wallet is small enough to be carried in your pocket but it has still room inside to put several credit card. Overall, this is a really nice product which will fit into many magician’s repertoire, because it can used as your everyday life wallet and also as a powerful magic tool.
The pros and the cons: Here is the core of my review, let's begin with the cons, as I will usually be doing, I prefer to keep the good things for the end.
THE CONS:
As I said, I would have liked the explanation video to be longer and with more routines inside, I know many will be buying this knowing what they want to do with it but I really liked the Rebel video and I was hoping more.
THE PROS:
The leather on this is so nice, I like everything about it, the smell, the feel and it looks luxurious too. This is something important because I want people to see I’m using quality item.
The peek is ingenious, this is different from the peek wallet he already released a few month ago because this can be shown both side without any fear of exposing the peek.
You have a lot of room to place your bills, credit cards and business cards, which means this can easily be used as your card holder.
The peek is very interesting because it’s direct and you get a full view on it. No reflection are used and the peek can be obtained just with the action of moving the wallet on the table.
Overall rating: Quality, easy to do, full and direct peek what else are you looking for? I love Secret Tannery more and more, they are on a roll, 4/4 hearts.
As for the difficulty level, the peek is easy to obtain, you just have to construct your routine and you’re good to go, 2/5 stars.
