I was very fortunate to receive a review copy.
I have already bought several of Tom's releases and with each, I have admired his 'out of the box' thinking as well as clever ruses. And this new peek device - Sierpinski's Peek - is very deceptive and clean. In the video explanation, Tom explains the principles in play and several ways to present. Watching it, I smiled several times at just how cleanly the peek is obtained. However, buyers of this effect do need to be aware that there is some 'craft' work to do beforehand. Nothing too difficult and all is clearly explained and, once done, you will be set for a long long time. I certainly like and recommend Sierpinski's Peek and, if you like what you see in the demo and don't mind some preparatory work, then this is well worth getting. Also, as a bonus, I learned quite a bit about the effectiveness of a certain card strategy and which I can see myself using in other ways. Neil |

I just finished watching the review copy of the video link and I concur in what Neil said. It is a very clever application of a well known principle. You do have to alter a card box, which would take about 10-15 minutes. It would be great to use in any situation where you need to secretly obtain the value of a freely selected card. The use of an invisible deck with this was a terrific suggested idea. I was very pleased with this and recommend it if you do mind a little and easy arts and crafts. You can use any deck of cards.

Yes, this is great. The peek is so natural, I had a really difficult time seeing it, even after multiple viewings of the demo. Cannot say much more than has already been said, except, will definitely find a use for this great utility. The only issue I see, is that you may not want specs directly behind you, so a bit angly.
Thanks for coming up with this, it's very clever. |

Similarities to the peek in Larry Becker's "Out of Body"?

I also got a review copy. As other reviewers have pointed out there is a one time construction of the box. Nothing difficult. Once complete it should last a long time. You can use any deck of cards but may have to do a quick something to them which is very easy and can be done right in front of your audience without suspicion.
I also agree with magicinsight that the use of the Invisible Deck is a good idea. As Tom states it gives justification for the selected card being reversed in the deck. Yes, you may have to be careful of people observing from behind you but I do think this could be overcome by keeping everything close to your body. Also, I would recommend checking out Tom's effect Rebirth. Such a cool plot with a torn and restored card. And I did not receive a review copy of Rebirth, I purchased it. RNK
