Just got confirmation from Tony Curtis that a 3M filter is not employed in the TeleThought wallets. Both are absolutely fantastic and are my preferred wallets. I will be using these moving forward as nothing else compares as far as I am concerned.

Pantera wallet with 3 m peek on the exterior is the Daddy of all of these now . Still made by Tony so the quality is unrivalled . I have them all so I can tell you that with some authority what is the best
IMO of course Tarik 😊

I am actually torn between the Pantera V.2 and TeleThought wallets and love them both. They absolutely kill.

I agree they are both good but trust me the Pantera V 2 with a 3 m is totally undectable , like I say I have them all Tarik😃

Stick a filter in the Cerberus and youve got it all, that's what I did there's a bit about the window what makes it even more fooling than the other ones

I've received information that the darker filter used in the TeleThought wallet is, unfortunately, no longer being produced by 3M. I own two of each TeleThought and can always put one in my Pantera like Tarik suggested. They all absolutely kill regardless and I love the flexibility of being able to control how much filtering is applied. To each his own depending on the performance conditions you frequent.

I discovered through experience tonight that my TeleThought is best suited for environments where I can depend on a good source of light otherwise visibility becomes an issue. My Outlaw Pantera performs well with no visibility issues but cannot be formed as openly as my TeleThought. Currently, I am carrying them both in my close-up bag and alternating between them depending on my performance conditions. They never cease to completely devastate audiences.

I worked with Chris on a smartphone version of his telethought. A 21st century version of the Telethought Wallet if you like. He said it would be released but I do not know when.

I own a couple of each the TeleThought I and II and they are truly a mentalist's dream. Elegant, sleek, deceptive, devious and diabolically clever. Can literally and boldly be performed in the hand of a spectator and completely surrounded with no one the wiser. The James Bond of peek wallets and unlike anything else on the open market from what I have found. Unfortuantely, it will not hold many business cards but the performance advantages; however, greatly outweigh this trivial shortcoming. This is something I perform often on a regular basis and it never ceases to create beLIEvers whenever I go. One of the best 2016 purchases for me and money very well spent. A real pleasure to own and perform with and comes highly recommended.

Once again, I'll share a little secret for those who have one of Chris's wallets or pads. Although I made mine years ago with a much larger piece of 3M filter material, I've also made smaller versions, including one almost as small as the larger of Chris's two pads (4 3/16" x 5 1/2").

My "Stealth Notebook" solves a "problem" inherent in the use and handling of the peek wallets. For those interested, an explanation of its construction can be found here: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/searc......=6143657 I still use it from time to time. The markers I fabricated for it had to be very strong to go through the 3M filter material.

Good luck!

P.S. I have made a few of these devices for others over the intervening years, but there are fewer than five of these "out there" (unless others have used my instructions to build their own). After I described my Stealth Notebook to Chris Kenworthey seven years ago, he was kind enough to send me a couple large sheets of the special 3M filter material, which I have used for further "experiments."

I literally just got off the phone with Chris Kenworthey about a custom order and found him to be just one of the nicest people you could meet. He will be undergoing surgery for a herniated disc soon so please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

I feel the strongest presentation of the Telethought wallet is not let the spectators see the "Empty" window! Open the wallet and your business card can be seen and also the folded dollar bill with "Your number" already printed on it. Do not pull your card out and reveal the clear plastic window. Turn the wallet and remove your card under cover of the flap giving the spectator a vision that more cards are in the wallet. Don't remove the card and show an empty pocket giving the impression this is your last business card and now I see a plastic window. Proceed with the spectator writing on the white backside of the card and have it placed in the outside pocket. Now remark "Did you see any money in the wallet? Would you be surprised if Your Number was printed on that dollar bill?" Again open but don't show the entire inside of the wallet. Remove the bill get a laugh when they see "Your Number" on the bill, then hold the wallet up against your head and remark you wrote........WHAT! No way! is the next thing the spectator will say.Done

If you don't expose the window, you could just use a mini himber wallet with a window on each side.

Does this TT II Wallet still use the same exact filter it always has used in the original version 1 so it isn't as side angle sensitive as with the Pantrea V2 is?

Chris Kenworthey has just confirmed with me that he is still using the original 3M filter in all versions of his Telethought Wallets.

I have just finished making a batch of the Telethought Wallet II for Chris Kenworthey.
