Brand new for Blackpool! If you’re there this weekend, swing by and take a look.

This is a simple two-pocket MagSafe peek wallet with no moving parts. It is incredibly well made and it does the thing perfectly. It feels great on the back of a phone, looks sleek, maintains a slim profile, and attaches very securely. I’ve never used a MagSafe wallet in my everyday life, but I have this on my phone at all times now. It goes completely unnoticed and doesn’t get in the way at all.

I just wrote a full review that covers all of the details.

I’ve been debating on this. Admittedly, I have no idea what the method is. I assumed the outermost pocket lifted up, or secretly opened up, and that you would get the peek while holding the phone in front of the spectator and having them look at/do something on your phone.

Appreciate the review Madison. The AI ad copy is unbearable.

Joe - ha, thanks! Though we wrote the copy together. Admittedly - we channeled apple a little too much. Like everything, we intend it with a playful tone and write it with good spirit.

Madison - thank you for taking the time to take a look at Vision.

Everyone at Blackpool - come and see it in action, its a real workhorse.

I’ve never used a MagSafe wallet, so curios, will this attach firmly to my iPhone if I already use a phone case? Or for it to stay firmly in place do I need to go without a protective case?

Typically with MagSafe devices you need to have a MagSafe case. That’s what I have on my phone currently. If your case has a circle on the back the size of a wireless charger, then you also have a MagSafe phone case.

Since you have mentioned both items as being EDC, do you anticipate using this more often than you will use Noted?

It’s a great question. The honest answer is that they fulfill different needs. Vision is TRULY EDC. Like, lives on my phone so I always have it. Noted is not something that will live in my pocket at all times. Instead, I’ve planted Noted around in spaces I’m frequently in so that it’s there if I need it. Noted is my preferred peek method. But to me they serve different purposes. I don’t want to explicitly say how I use Noted, but if you know my love for Phedon Bilek’s work, you will have an idea. The benefit of that is that it feels totally spur of the moment and off the cuff and allows me to do something that feels very “real” and not magicy in any way.

This on the other hand will be good to have for those times when I’m totally unprepared and someone asks to see something, which does actually happen to me from time to time. Or when I want something more playful. The premise of Pocket Oracle just lends itself perfectly as something I carry around with me every day because “I use it to help me make decisions and it’s literally always right.” The other card that they will write on won’t be a blank card, but instead will be a business card from someone else so it seems like I met someone and slipped their card in my wallet (and wrote a little note on the back which is why they can only write on half of the card.) Truthfully, I doubt I’ll use Vision to peek other information solely because I love the Pocket Oracle routine that much.

So for me, Noted is perfect because it already exists naturally in most of my performing environments. But this is literally EDC by definition because I will carry it every day.

Hope that helps!

Mag-Safe compatible iPhones don’t need a separate case for it to work.

But to be clear, if you DO use a case then it will have to be MagSafe compatible. They’re by no means hard to find or expensive.

How is this any different than EDC phone peek wallet, which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWtWybW5AIQ

Also, I read the review and see that the author wrote "I have this on my phone at all times now. It goes completely unnoticed and doesn’t get in the way at all." Yet, it hasn't been launched yet? Would it be logical to assume these items are being sent for free in advance to the reviewer to keep in exchange for the review? Just curious. It helps me make decisions on purchases..

I’m not sure how similar Vision and Iain Bailey’s “MagSafe Wallet” are, but Iain includes a magnetic self adhesive ring to help if you don’t own an iPhone: https://iainbaileymagic.com/en-us/produc......k-wallet

I see now...these items are released earlier to members of Card Games. How does one become a member?

If the EDC works the way I think it does then there are moving parts. The copy for Vision says no moving parts.

Hi Everyone!

I'm home from Blackpool where Vision was a great success. I can confirm, there are no moving parts. You see the actual image. No reflection etc.

I have fooled everyone with this at the convention, once it goes back on the phone and magnetises (before you peek) it seems to really catch magician off guard.

I had many come back and tell me that is was the best thing they picked up at the convention, which is always nice to hear.

I let many people film me performing with Vision during their walkarounds. So check those for a flavour of one or two of the posse handlings with Vision.

Of course, many peeks are possible.

Thanks everyone.

Can't see any videos online but I am interested in seeing a performance using Vision, any link to a video yet? Also, someone above mentioned the Magsight Wallet, I wonder what the differences are?

Cheers,
R

Hey,

I just saw this pop up, and while I have a few minutes:

Here is one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfmyTIMtpUI

And another: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrAMNNl7Ck0

These were both from Blackpool and show one peek option. (there are many possible). As you see it above, they write or draw. Billet goes into Vision blind. Vision is attached to your phone. Yet you are still able to peek.

With Vision you get Vision itself - a custom made, one piece MagSafe peek wallet. Which has a really high end finish and two functioning pockets. It has no moving parts though gives you direct access to secret information, anytime.

You get a booklet that outlines various handlings which include a routine where you reveal a strangers exact DOB (Day, Month and Year) without any writing, typing or without using the phone or a billet at all.

More here: https://www.hiddengames.store/vision

Regarding Magsight - Iain and us spoke a few months back. His is a pre existing (plastic) one pocket MagSafe wallet that he has customised. Iains has moving parts and with it you see text backwards. Trying not to say too much here out of respect.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply Chris, appreciate it. Can you confirm if I can leave a credit card or two in the wallet while I use it for the peek, another MagSafe wallet I have for a card switch needs to be empty so I thought I’d ask. Cheers!

Of course!

I can confirm that Vision can hold your a couple of credit cards, 4/5 business cards to or a licence and still function as a normal wallet before, during and after. peeking.

No need to empty pockets - its always ready to go.
