Devin Knight & G.W. Magnuson – Del-Ardo’s Private Sealed Envelope Reading Method

Del-Ardo, a renowned medium from the past, crafted various techniques for reading messages from sealed envelopes. His preferred method, which he frequently employed, is also utilized by psychic Jason Michaels with some enhancements. Devin Knight continues to use this refined approach today.

This technique is popular among fraudulent mediums in spiritualist churches and camps due to its near foolproof nature, minimizing the risk of exposure. The process begins with the sitter receiving a plain, ungimmicked business card, where they write one or two significant questions and sign their name. The card is placed face down on the table, and the psychic inserts it into a visible coin envelope, which the sitter seals and examines to ensure it is opaque.

Remarkably, without touching the envelope, the psychic reveals the sitter’s name and answers their unspoken questions, creating the illusion of genuine psychic ability.

• No chemicals or hidden light sources are involved in making the envelope transparent.
• No impression devices are utilized.
• No mirrors are required.
• No special skills are necessary.
• No palming techniques are employed.

Why invest in costly peek wallets that may raise suspicion? This method achieves the same results with an innocuous coin envelope that the sitter can inspect for transparency and integrity. It’s one of the fastest and most effective ways to extract information from a sealed envelope, capable of deceiving even seasoned magicians familiar with other techniques. This approach is as straightforward as it gets and is entirely practical for modern performers.

Designed for one-on-one readings, this method is not suitable for public performances. For those interested in larger shows, consider Devin Knight’s Psychic Envelope Divination, which employs a different technique altogether.
