Worker's Envelopes are a set of three gimmicked envelopes designed for a variety of magic routines, including peeks, switches, and color changes. This close-up magic utility device allows magicians to perform predictions, bill switches, and even card to impossible location tricks. The envelopes look completely normal with a clear plastic window, making them highly deceptive. Buyers should note that while the envelopes are not examinable due to their gimmicked nature, they offer immense versatility for performances in close-up, walk-around, parlor, and stage settings.
