The first things that draws suspicion, are the two envelopes and there obvious differences. Why is one lighter in color than the other? Why are there two? The answers are obvious because it's how they are used in conjunction, to accomplish the effect.
What happens is after something is written on a card and it is placed face down in the first envelope (the lighter colored one) the mentalist asks the participant to seal it using the french method, he gets a full view of whatever is on the card through the envelope, just like in the trick we learned as kids called "Mystery Die". Then that envelope is sealed in the second envelope just like in the original kids trick, to throw off the spectators and to convince then that they can't see through anything.
But that's what makes the trick so obvious? If you can't see though the first envelope, why use the second? It doesn't make sense! Which is true of much of Bob's "original" work. Original ha! The only thing the guy does that's original is, spreading lies about people he doesn't know to others for no apparent reason other than his ego.
Well there you have it, another so called miracle but we know better.
As with all in this blog, these are my opinions and should be taken with a grain of salt.
