What is your favorite peek box to glimpse the bottom card of the deck?

Are there a variety of commercial peek boxes for something like this? I figure for something as simple as peeking the bottom card in a box, people would simply DIY something on their own using a regular card box. Any small h**e or c****t will do right? Or if you want something fancy you can always add a f**p. Doesn't have to be complicated.

As mentioned earlier just cut a hole out of the pip corner of the card box and cover it with your thumb. There are interesting (but over done?) wooden boxes from Thayer/Owen Brothers and probably others that will accomplish a peek, too. Larry Becker had a great handling with his specially prepared "regular" card box in STUNNERS PLUS that may be what you are looking for. IMO keep it simple and attach no importance to the card box. If you treat it as just an inconsequential box to hold the deck (NOT a prop), your audience will disregard it, too. Julie |

Julie, the spec is putting the cards in the box. So it cannot be as visible as a hole.
dj, I will check those out, thank you so much. |

Dj, that's the exact kind of thing I had in mind. Thank you for sharing.

Out of body by Larry Becker uses a clever Peek box. Great effect. https://www.lybrary.com/stunners-plus-tw......32.html9
A trick I perform often is Zen Master by Darwin Ortiz. It uses a peek box. Very strong effect. You can find the effect in the great book Scams and Fantasies with cards. |

There are two other peek boxes that were released at one point. One was called 'Invisible Eye', and the other was 'Richardson Double Peek box'. Does anyone know where I can buy these. I searched for them on the Café and cannot find more information on them.
