I've been looking for some decent 2 way out envelopes for a little while, someone recommend these envelopes from Black cat magic...The envelopes can be purchased from here www.blackcatmagic.co.uk You can have them made out of black paper or card. The construction is very good and I can see them lasting a long time. They are perfect for any effect that requires a 2 way out. I purchased them to use with X-Act so I can use 2 normal cards instead of a gimmicked card, using these makes the effect so much cleaner..I actually let the spectator remove the card from the envelope and it really does look super clean.

The automatic two way envelope by Wayne Rogers is also a very good one.

I have been using the Chandauelopes (2 way envelopes) sold by Black Cat Magic for quite some time now and they are very reliable and extremely clean. They are the only double envelopes I use now. Highly recommended.

Black Cat Magic no longer seems to be in business. Does anyone know where I can find playing card size two-way out envelopes (that can be reused)? Thanks.

The envelopes that Barry sold and named Chandaulopes were designed by me. They are available from me and made to order using 160 gsm card stock to last a long time. PM me if you want more details.

Yes they are in Harpacrown and Harpacrown 2 has 4 way and 6 way versions.

The ones I make are far nicer than the basic design in Harpacrown as Jamie Daws helped me tweak the design. The ones supplied with Manos Kartsakis unVeil book were made by me.

Hello all, I know this post is a few years old.now but I am finally on the Café and catching up with all things Black Cat.

We made a comeback in December 2020 and now all of our double envelopes are made from tyvek.

Many colours are available.

And with Mark's blessing we are also selling our own 4 and 6 way envelopes.

They share similarities with Mark's though we're created independently.

Kind regards

Are there any published materials on making your own 2-way out envelopes?

I have included the plans and instructions for Chandauelopes in Harpacrown, Harpacrown Too and Totally Free Will. The latter 2 books include 2-way, 4-way and 6-way versions.

Though I don't have the Harpacrown books, I do have Totally Free Will and well worth the purchase for everything in it!

Your envelopes are great. I have some of the two ways. What would you suggest using as temporary adhesive for the flaps?

A repositional glue stick tends to work really well eg scotch brand, Elmer’s etc.

Yes, check out Corindas 13 steps to Mentalism and Annemanns Practical Mental Magic (or practical mental effects depending on publisher). Not only will you get double envelopes, but you'll get a ton more.

I tried Elmer's repositional glue stick. The glue tends to come off onto your fingers when opening the flap. Maybe I put too much on.

Did you try the clear version or the white stick version? I personally find the clear version very sticky and yes transfers. If you are in the UK try scotch up by 3m or in the US try scotch restickabke glue stick
