INSIDER is the next step in the evolution of 'impossible location' effects featuring a whole new world of extraordinary magic and mentalism with a wonderfully ORDINARY object: a window envelope.
With the brilliant INSIDER gimmicks you can cause playing cards, written predictions, dollar bills, business cards, photographs, paper napkins, baseball cards, book pages, letters, file cards and even a SIGNED PLAYING CARD to visually appear, vanish and transform inside a legitimately SEALED envelope!
The sealed envelope can even be trapped INSIDE A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE... and the incredibly visual magic STILL happens.
The SPECTATOR even opens the envelope and removes the object. Give away the envelope as a killer souvenir OR use the SAME ENVELOPE again and again for many performances. Includes 10 specially-designed envelopes (3.5 inches x 5.5 inches) and innovative gimmicks Full-length DVD featuring 12 insane magic and mentalism effects including 'Signed,' 'Outer Layer,' 'Incremental,' 'Cocoon,' 'Foto,' 'World Bank' and more!

No awkward 'slides,' rubber cement on envelopes, or secret tears are involved. No refills required. (Close the flap of the envelope with a paperclip or sticker instead of licking it.) ADDED BONUS!

This is one of the best of Jay Sankey's inventions.
In basic terms, Insider is a way to make a card or other flat object appear in a window envelope, an envelope that would seem too small for the object to be anywhere else in the envelope.
Sam Berland had such a trick and David Regal had something like this too. But Jay Sankey came up with a different method that is classic Sankey brilliance.
Every version I've seen before Insider meant that the magician had to remove the card from the envelope. Not so, in most of the 12 handlings that Sankey provides in a really informative and fun DVD.
(This is a rare DVD that makes you feel like you know him for real. Lots of good material, well-done.)
For example, one basic effect would be a chosen card that you tear off a corner of. You give the spectator the corner and vanish the card. Holding a window envelope which can be seen to be empty, you make a one-handed fan of cards and pass the fan over the envelope. Instantly, a card, missing a corner, appears inside the envelope. The spectator tears open the envelope and finds the card which their piece fits exactly.
There are all kinds of possibilities, illustrated on the DVD and you'll come up with others as you play with the super-cool gimmick.
A few handlings will involve some simple sleight of hand but most do not.
Check out the whole DVD before you put together the extremely simple gimmick because there are a few choices to make.
Without tipping the method, let me just say Jay's method is similar to the old joke about not raising the bridge, but lowering the water.
You will LIKE this and use it in all kinds of ways.

Clever gimmick.
Can be done in additional ways if you have additional skills.
