SleightfulP.O.V. Pad by João Miranda & Julio Montoro - Magic Trick Review
Tyler Lunsford reviews the P.O.V. Pad by João Miranda & Julio Montoro, a gimmicked sticky note system designed for secret peeks. He highlights the product's creativity and straightforward mechanics but points out challenges like reading peeked information quickly and accurately, dependency on lighting, and the need for fresh sticky notes for each performance. While he appreciates the drawing duplications, he finds the price slightly high and suggests it's best suited for those comfortable with its limitations.
Tricks mentioned
Key points
Creative method for obtaining a peek without suspicious handling.
Drawing duplications work well, as shapes are easier to interpret than words or numbers.
No extra setup beyond sticky notes and a marker.
Reading the peek can be challenging, especially with poor handwriting or complex numbers.
Not ideal for performers with dyslexia or vision difficulties.
Lighting dependency—works best with light shining directly on the pad.
Price point ($50) feels slightly high—Tyler suggests $40 would be more reasonable.
