iDetic Peek by Mark Lemon

Effect

The iDetic Peek allows a magician to secretly obtain a spectator's written thought under seemingly impossible conditions. The participant writes down a secret—such as a name, date, or object—on a billet or business card. The billet is placed into a wallet, which the spectator holds. Despite the magician turning away the entire time, they can discreetly peek at the information at any moment. The revelation appears impossible, as the wallet remains in the spectator's hands.

Full Details

The iDetic Peek uses a high-quality MagSafe-compatible wallet that attaches to an iPhone (models with MagSafe only). The system allows for quick and undetectable access to the written information. The wallet can hold multiple billets or business cards, making it practical for repeated performances.

Key features:

• No suspicious movements or sleight of hand required.
• The wallet remains examinable after the peek.
• Works with standard billets or business cards.
• Portable and easy to reset.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This trick is ideal for:

• Mentalists who need a reliable method for obtaining written thoughts.
• Close-up magicians looking for a clean, tech-integrated peek.
• Performers who use iPhones and want a method that blends seamlessly with everyday carry.

Difficulty

The iDetic Peek is rated as intermediate in difficulty. While no advanced sleight of hand is required, proper handling and timing are crucial to maintain the illusion of fairness. The method is straightforward, but performers should practice natural movements to avoid suspicion.
