Justifying having information sealed in a envelope

Postby naychandler1 » Mar 8th, '14, 15:15



Ive been thinking for so long about using a shaxon flap in ,y close up/ walkaround performances to peek information.
But whats stopping me from doing it , is then having a *dirty* envelope right underneath and surrounded by spectators, and then having to clear up the evidence.

Surely , it would look a lot more fairer after revealing said information, and then to open the envelope which lays on the table to show 100% that you were correct, otherwise how can the envelope be justified? And how do you rid of it without arousing suspicion ?

Does anybody use shaxon or windows in their walkaround who can shed some light on this?

Thankyou.

I love the shaxon flap. Use it all the tune. I tend to justify it as 'test conditions'. I also open up the envelope and give the billet back to the spec. Or just let them open it, depending on what I'm doing. Love it.

Hmmmm, how do you let the spec open up the envelope, when you really have their original billet concealed :?:

Like I say, it depends what you're doing with the shaxon...
