Effect

The Apex Wallet Mk2 allows a magician to secretly view a playing card or drawing made by a spectator while the wallet appears completely opaque. In performance, a spectator draws something on a card, places it inside the wallet, and the magician—without visibly peeking—mysteriously replicates the drawing. The effect is clean, deceptive, and leaves no obvious method.

Full Details

The Apex Wallet Mk2 by Thomas Sealey is a premium-quality wallet designed for magicians. It includes three different peek functions, though the video focuses on one primary method. The wallet conceals the peek completely, making it appear impossible for the magician to see inside. The demonstration involves a spectator drawing an image (such as sunglasses), placing the card inside the wallet, and the magician correctly identifying and replicating the drawing through subtle misdirection and playful interaction.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This wallet is ideal for magicians who perform close-up or walk-around magic and want a reliable, deceptive peek method. It suits performers who prefer minimal sleight of hand but maximum impact. The Apex Wallet Mk2 works well for card tricks, mentalism effects, or any routine requiring secret information from a spectator.

Information on How Difficult It Is to Perform

The wallet is designed for ease of use, requiring minimal technical skill. The main challenge lies in presentation—misdirection and spectator management are key to making the peek convincing. The creator in the video demonstrates that even a slight misinterpretation (jokingly guessing "boobs" before correcting to "sunglasses") can enhance the effect by making it seem more genuine.

What Magicians Say

SaturnMagicShop describes the Apex Wallet Mk2 as "incredible" and "beautiful," emphasizing its deceptive qualities.

The wallet is praised for its clean handling and strong visual impact.

The Apex Wallet Mk2 is a well-crafted tool for magicians who value deception and simplicity in their performances.
