The iDetic Peek by Mark Lemon

Effect

The iDetic Peek allows a magician to secretly view information written on a billet or business card under seemingly fair conditions. A participant writes down a thought, places it face down into a MagSafe wallet, and guards it. Despite this, the performer can discreetly peek at the written information at any time. The reveal appears impossible, as the participant believes their secret remains hidden.

Full Details

The iDetic Peek uses a high-quality woven MagSafe wallet that attaches securely to iPhones with MagSafe technology. The system enables the performer to:

• View a single billet or multiple billets at once.
• Carry billets and business cards without needing extra pocket space.
• Attach or detach the wallet from the phone as needed.

The method requires no complex sleights, relying instead on the wallet's design and MagSafe functionality. It is only compatible with iPhones that support MagSafe and will not work with Android devices or older iPhones.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This trick is ideal for:

• Mentalists who perform billet readings and want a discreet, modern solution.
• Magicians who prefer minimal sleight-of-hand but still want strong, baffling effects.
• Performers who frequently use iPhones and want a practical, everyday-carry solution.

Difficulty

The iDetic Peek is designed for ease of use. It does not require advanced sleight-of-hand, making it accessible to beginners. However, performers must practice natural handling of the wallet to maintain the illusion of fairness. Tutorial videos are recommended to master the subtleties of the method.

What Magicians Say

Mark Lemon, the creator, demonstrates its effectiveness in performance, eliciting strong reactions from participants. One spectator, after a successful reveal, exclaims, "Oh my God, that's really how did you know?"

The iDetic Peek is positioned as an innovative upgrade for magicians seeking a practical, foolproof method for billet reading. Its reliance on MagSafe technology makes it a unique solution in the mentalism space.
