Number 4 Envelope
Get 300 VI Points for this purchase.
This is some very clever thinking from Blake Vogt. It looks like a regular envelope, but has a beautiful 4 way out system built in. And the best bit? The spectator removes the contents of the envelope themselves.
It’s not just a multiple out device, it can also be used to switch cards, billets, paper and cash.
The dimensions are 3”x4”, so it fits in your pocket easily. Known for releasing quality items, the Number 4 Envelope is made from Tyvek. It’s waterproof and it won’t tear; it will last you a lifetime. You’ll receive one fully made gimmick - no arts and crafts required - and a detailed instructional video from Blake himself which features 3 full routines you can use straight away. Blake will take you through each step of how to utilize this brilliant envelope in great detail.
Originally I bought the Number 4 Envelope for interpreting John Archers Comedy Killer Routine...It is very well made, I expect it to be durable, and it really looks totally harmless...I still shy away from handing it out because with 4 cards the envelope feels stiff (wich is quite logical)...But it never got questioned so there was no need to...You might want to check out John Archer`s Routine because in a way you can force a whole suit with the envelope, wich takes even more heat from it...
I really like this concept and the utility. Perfect for what I need. I thought of picking up an additional one though I sort of cringe because, yes, it is a bit pricey. I do understand that you're paying for Blake's ultra creativity and the thought and development that goes in to it. However, I do wish that for that price, a template would have been included or an additional envelope. I had also bought the Tyvek Envelope System (which was excellent as well by the way) and that came with several envelopes (that yes you glue together but that's minimal) AND a plastic template so with that in mind, it makes the price point on this a bit stiff without something additional. Great little useful envelope from Blake, though. I'll definitely use it.
This is hugely over-priced for what it is. Sure it's made of Tyvek. But it won't last that long if used frequently during performances. Why a spare isn't included I can only assume is down to profit maximisation. Which at this price point seems a bit mean-spirited. However the main issue is with the appearance of the envelope itself. It just bears so little resemblance to any envelope anyone has ever seen before it's going to rise suspicions. The notion that you could put this in a spectator's had any they won't look upon it with suspicion is frankly ludicrous. With a bit of thought you could make something less dodgy looking yourself. Mine has started to become mis-shapen after only a bit of time in the wallet between performances. I don't bother with it any more. There are better multiple out solutions in most situations. Sadly the hunt for a decent 4-way envelope continues. Save your money!
