The original Sight Unseen Case has become one of THE standard devices for the working mentalist and magicians the world over. The Sight Unseen Case is still the most innocent and normal in appearance of any case on the market. The uses for this incredible device are too numerous to mention. It is capable of more different utility functions than any other case of its type anywhere in the world, period. Well, now there's even more...

Now, there's Generation II. Thanks to a marvelously simple idea from my friend, Lee Marelli, the horizons of the Sight Unseen Case can go farther than ever before.

What's new, you ask? Well, we've added two simple (and completely normal) pockets to the inside of the case. That's it. This may not seem like much, but when I showed the Generation II (and just one of the new possibilities of it) to my good friend Lee Earle when it first came out, his eyebrows raised and he said, "Now that's very interesting." Let me tease you with just a couple of possibilities. What if...

...you could show your spectator a folded slip of paper in your business card case. They name any single digit number. You now remove the folded slip and, written on it is the exact number they had named.

...you have your spectator name any one of the ESP symbols and you then show it to be written on the only folded slip of paper in your business card case.

...you have a spectator name any playing card and you show that there is a single miniature playing card in your business card case -- it's their card.

...you could interchange various effects possible with the case right in front of your audience without raising any suspicion whatsoever.

...you could do all of the above (and so much more) without any pocket work, extra hidden indexes or nail writing. All while completely surrounded, close-up or on stage.

Virtually everything that's possible with the original Sight Unseen Case is possible with Generation II. You can still **nail (or boon) write, do billet switches, load and unload billets, peek and glimpse, double write, hold out billets**, and so much more. 'Mechanically' speaking, the Generation II works exactly the same way as the original Sight Unseen Case. The two extra pockets make all of the above possible, plus allow for more storage in the case, which in turn allows for more versatility. This opens up a whole new vista of possibilities for a case which is already the most versatile in the world.

Your Sight Unseen Case - Generation II comes with a 20-page manual that contains the entire text of the original Sight Unseen Case manual, as well as the basics for the effects described above, plus much more.

There's no other case like it in the world (except, of course, the original Sight Unseen Case) and this is a device you will use. For a device as versatile, as well made, as cunningly simple, as devilishly clever, as easy to use and as elegantly innocent, this is the bargain of a lifetime!

"...one of the very few devices I carry with me everywhere I go. And it's one of the essential gimmicks I recommend to all Mentalists."

- Docc Hilford

I cannot thank my friends enough for saying such nice things about something that I invented. And lest I be accused of lifting the juiciest part of a quote for the sake of promotion, here are the quotes in their entirety, unedited:

"The Sight Unseen Case is among the best utility devices ever devised for mentalists. While it was primarily designed as a peek device, it is also perfect for pocket writing as well as stealing and loading folded billets. In fact, the latter is, in my opinion, the most powerful and subtle use of the device. It's a completely innocent-appearing business card case and is excellently made to last.
"The best testament I can give to the Sight Unseen Case is that it is one of the very few devices I carry with me everywhere I go. And it's one of the essential gimmicks I recommend to all mentalists."

- Bob Cassidy

"After all these years and so many other wallets and cases, I stand by my original statement... Sight Unseen Case is one of the top ten creations ever for the working mentalist.
"I've tried most of the other peek wallets that use Mark's original idea. Billfolds, secretary style and even other business card cases, but I always end up going back to Sight Unseen Case.
"Its compact size works better in a suit, it's a simple yet beautiful case and the quality is so high I'm still using the originals I got from Mark over 20 years ago!
"In my opinion as a professional mentalist who earns his living on stage and at the table, you can't beat the Sight Unseen Case."

- Docc Hilford

"I have used the Sight Unseen Case for the last 20 years. For all of that time I have performed 5-7 venues and shows a week 10-40 close up performances a day. Every group I've performed for I have pulled out the Sight Unseen Case, so the term 'time tested' is an understatement. This case has been to hell and back with me. I mention this to point out the quality. I am still using my first one. I have not yet needed to grab a backup case. It still looks as good as the day I got it.

"There have been many methods over the years to get needed information. I have experimented with many, but always something is lacking. They may have had great concept, but the quality is not there or batteries die out or the look of the tool has gone out of style.
"The simplicity of this method should not be overlooked. Yet, when I have tried other wallets and cases that use a similar method, they have fallen short for me. There is something about this particular size, look, and quality that make the Sight Unseen Case stand way out. I have never seen its match. Nothing has even come close.
"The Sight Unseen Case is simply the best. It has been with me on a daily basis. It has never left my side and never will."

- Garrett Thomas

"I have owned many wallets through the years, many of them wonderful, but the Sight Unseen Case is the only wallet I have continuously used and still do use for close up walk around. Its size is perfect, its secret hidden. For walk around, there is not a more well-designed tool. It is the ultimate wallet to use in combination with pocket writing."
- Banachek

"Uncluttered, original and as brilliant today as it was over a decade ago. Mark's Sight Unseen Case was my first business card peek wallet. The simplicity and deceptiveness make it workable, reliable, and totally natural. It was and is a masterpiece."
- Marc Spelmann

"One of the most useful items in my toolkit. In fact, it lives in my pocket, and I rarely leave home without it."
- Eric Mead

"I've been working with the Sight Unseen Case for over 10 years. It is now my 'go-to' peek wallet."
- Jeff McBride

"I am going to be immodest. The Sight Unseen Case is THE most versatile, most devious, most innocent looking gaffed business card case ever created. Its stunning simplicity simply cannot be beaten for sheer function and ease of working. There is quite literally no end to what you can do with it. It's like having a toolkit in your shirt pocket. All this, and it is still the most natural-looking device of its kind ever. There will never be an equal.
"The Sight Unseen Case is one of the top ten inventions ever created for the mentalist."

- Docc Hilford, author, creator, and psychic entertainer

"... this top-quality item is something I'll use myself."
- Lee Earle, Syzygy

"Mark Strivings's Sight Unseen Case is a 'must have'."
- John Riggs, author, and psychic entertainer

Well Made Toy But My Standard Poodle Chewed Through it Anyway!
We have a standard poodle puppy that chews EVERYTHING! There isn't anything that she can't chew through - leashes, harnesses, toys - you name it and she tears it apart and if it's a toy, de-squeaks it and tears all the stuffing out. She has very powerful jaws! Now I have a couple of other Outward Hound toys that are made only of firehose material and those are still intact. But she loves the feel of the plush toys so I thought this seemed very durable and the inner part was of their Dura-Tuff liner, so I was hoping this would be a win win situation! The toy came and it IS well made and the outside plush is soft and inviting for the dog. Squeakers in every segment is a huge bonus with my dog as she loves squeakers. And no stuffing. Those nice qualities aside, after several weeks, she did manage to rip it apart, shred the material and de-squeak it! For an average dog or puppy, this might have worked wonderfully and lasted the entire lifetime. I still think its a quality made toy, but it just didn't last for my girl!! If this review has helped you in any way, please check yes at the bottom of the review.

The joy my dog gets from these toys is priceless!
I have a 5 year old Rottweiler, Poppy, who will absolutely annihilate any toy within minutes. I’ve had them all… same outcome. Stuffing all over within seconds and the enjoyment is short lived. I love these toys. There are several squeakers in them so once she gets ones out, she still loves the toy because she can find another squeaker. Also, because it’s long (yet substantially sized) she LOVES throwing them around and whipping them back and forth - something she does even after all the squeakers are gone. That alone makes this toy worth it. She typically no longer plays with toys once the squeaker or stuffing are removed but she will continue to whip these snake toys around and they’re durable. I don’t have to worry about her eating small pieces of cloth that is ripping off the toy. Having said all of that…. I’ve ordered her a few over the last several months and found that these toys are her favorite above all else. I’ve also found them to be a good value for me. But… if I could give these toys 25 stars, I would. My Poppy girl was recently diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma and will have about 6 more precious weeks with us, if we’re lucky. So, I ordered her two more. Because, she can have all the toys, right? And the pure amount of joy that lights up her beautiful face every-time she gets a new snake is priceless. I will absolutely continue to order them to make her remaining weeks as delightful as possible. I will be forever grateful for the happiness these specific snake toys bring my baby girl and could not recommend them enough.

Not so great for aggressive chewers!!
EDIT: well it’s been two days. My boy (American Staffordshire Terrier) has broken one of the squeakers and has made a Hole. Even tho he LOVES this toy and has been carrying it around the house it’s not for aggressive chewers. It’s pretty tough.. tougher than most but not Black Kong Tough. (Wykyk)

My little buddy loves it! (Loves it no more)
I ordered this in advance of the arrival of my 11 wk old Corgi pup. Not knowing what kind of a chewer I was getting, I wanted something that squeaked but did not have too many extremities to rip and tear at. I also didn't want too much stuffing to end up all over my house and in my buddy's tummy. It is soft and well constructed. I like that the snake is compartmentalized so that if one segment is breached, the others are not. As it turned out, at this time, my pup is not a violent ripper (except for with paper and cardboard). After a week of testing, it is his favorite toy. It took him about two days to figure out how to squeak it and boy does he love it. It is the only toy he will haul around, which is hilarious because its bigger than he is. It is also the only toy that he will play fetch with. I'm also working on "leave it" with the with him. Nemo chews a lot, but hasn't shown much interest in ripping at his toys, so after a week (if it were washed) it could probably pass as new. I also try to switch him over to a bone or rubber toy when he starts getting really excited. I am weary since my last dog was a lab who would shred her toys in seconds. Nemo was ripping at the tag (something about paper) so I cut that off to prevent a seem getting opened up. I'm surprised that the tongue is still intact. The tongue and eyes are weak links and Nemo does like to chew on them. Overall, I'm very pleased with this toy. My husband was skeptical and thought it a bit ridiculous, but even he has decided it was a good buy. *Update* Our original snake lasted 7 months. Nemo loved it. He would carry it around with him and squeak it till my husband and I went insane. He had mastered the rapid fire squeak. It was also the only toy he would reliably fetch. After 7 months my pup had punctured two of the squeakers and the fur was getting threadbare in some place. But overall we were very happy with the product. Last week we had a guest GSP at our home and he demolished the toy within minutes. Shredded all of the squeakers and the casing. So we were forced to get Nemo a new one. Unfortunately they have since changed the design. There is now a piping that goes all the way around the snake (before it was blind stitched). Nemo has a thing about tags and edges, he works slowly and methodically to nibble them off. Once the piping was compromised, Nemo had easy access to the squeakers. This new version of the toy lasted only a few hours. I am extremely disappointed with the changes made. I have reduced my 5 star review to 1 star and will no longer recommend this product.
