Magic Review - X-Ray Peek by Michel

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a review of the 'X-Ray Peek' by verne magic, a minimalist peak wallet made from aluminum foil. Initially surprised by its simple appearance and $30 price tag, David quickly appreciates its functionality and clean design. He emphasizes that it's not a traditional wallet but a clever peak device requiring no sleight of hand and offering an instant reset. The 6-minute teaching video is concise and accessible for those familiar with peak principles. The core trick involves discreetly peeking at a written billet using the foil, providing a clear view even with darker billets. David spends considerable time exploring potential patter and performance angles, suggesting humorous routines like pretending to be paranoid or incorporating it into a Chipotle bag reveal. Ultimately, he recommends the X-Ray Peek as a 'super easy' and 'beautiful' prop, despite the challenge of explaining its presence, believing its simplicity and reset make it a valuable addition to a mentalist's toolkit.
