If you're a mentalist or magician that has a little experience under your belt, you should know that Omnilope is exactly what you think it might be. There are gimmicked envelopes that are more clever and less odd looking, so don't buy Omnilope for the envelope, buy it for the DVD. By the time you watch the hour-long video, you'll be convinced that Omnilope is versatile, practical, and useful. The depth and variety of thinking, not to overlook the enthusiasm, that Sankey demonstrates on the DVD is worth the price of admission.
Oh, to be sure, there are plenty of the "so what?" effects that Sankey has made infamous, but there are also great handling tips and plenty of inspiration throughout. All presented in a way that is more polished and entertaining than the vast majority of magic DVDs.
You'll get five or so envelopes that you must gimmick yourself, following Sankey's instructions. Don't panic, it's easy. I'm still a little skeptical about the unusual appearance of the envelopes, but it turns out they're commonly used by collectors and replacements are easy to find on the web. It will be up to you to justify and put Omnilope to good use, but Sankey has given you the raw materials.

I have said before that I am not a big fan of Jay Sankey, but I am increasingly impressed with his products and his instructional ability. One of his latest products is a DVD called Omnilope. The DVD is about one product, an envelope, a very special envelope. The DVD is a high quality production and it comes with 4 omnilopes.
The concept or methodology of the “trick” might not excite some of the more jaded magicians, since it is not new, but how he applies the concept is refreshing.
Before I talk about how really good this DVD is, I will mention the only downside, for me anyway. There is no crediting. Since I have seen this concept used before in similar fashions, it would have been nice to touch on a little of the history, crediting, or similar ideas that have existed before.
The Envelope is not a “trick” in itself but a tool that can be used in magic or mentalism. He goes into great detail how to use this tool and then gives many ideas/routines on turning it into a full blown routine.
It is a fun DVD to watch. Jay’s teaching is first rate. Not only does he explain the concept and provide you with numerous routines, he also talks a great deal about the subtleties of using the prop. I really enjoyed this DVD and am impressed as Jay continues to get better at teaching on DVD. I mean really, he has taken a simply envelope and created an entire DVD around using it. And . . it was fully entertaining and compelling.
