The Effect The Thought Transmitter is an ingenious custom made device that allows you to instantly gain the secret thoughts of another spectator. Or you can give the appearance of you sending thoughts to your spectator. This has now been made possible due to today's space age technology.
Imagine: You have a spectator write down the name of a playing card, a number, or a symbol on a post-it note that is inside of a totally opaque wallet. The spectator now closes the wallet and places a rubber band around the wallet. You never open the wallet but you know instantly what the spectator has written down. In fact the spectator can seal the wallet in a plastic bag and you could still gain the information!
The Advantages
There are no sliding or moving parts!
Everything can be freely handle without fear of detection!
There are no impressions, carbon paper, nothing stolen, no sleight of hand, no magnets, no center tears!
You gain the information instantly in full view of the spectator, and the effect can be repeated!
Fools even the most knowledgeable magicians or mentalists!
FREE BONUS: When you purchase this product from Penguin you'll
gain access to a special private discussion forum exclusively for magicians who perform this effect. This is a free feature that can be
very helpful in mastering your new magic. Please visit the Penguins

This is a good gimmick although it does look gimmicky. However you can get past that if you don't put too much emphasis on the wallet. I use this trick in combination with Paul Harris' Deep Astonishment and it results in one very impossible effect!

I got the Thought Transmitter when I read about it here on the Penguin Forums.
Boy, am I glad that I did. It's a gimmick that allows you to read a thought...any thought...and tell the spectator what it was without even opening the wallet that they have put that thought in. You can even have the wallet back in your pocket or your case before revealing, which makes it even more amazing.
The wallet is well constructed and the gimmick works perfectly. I have yet to encounter any issues with the workings of the gimmick.
The reactions for this trick seem to be mainly disbelief. I have yet to have someone NOT ask "How did you do that!!??" with this one. Even when I did it for a group of several people, each time of course getting the right thought, people were still in awe.
It's a really good wallet and I really like it. Fun to perform and well constructed!!

I have had this for many years and carry it in my impromptu box. This is easy to master and a great mentalism trick. If performing in a dark room you must be careful or the light might flash, but when done right, a must have.
