The Blurb

At long last!!! It’s finally back! One of the greatest ESP effects ever created! Steve Cook’s take on Larry Becker’s original Psycho II effect.

A true classic of mentalism with a deviously, sublime principle! Includes 15 additions to the original effect by Steve Cook!

Larry Becker’s original diabolical principle retained. Permission to release this version kindly granted by Larry Becker & April Becker. A percentage of the profits from the sales of this effect will be donated to Alzheimer’s Research.

Five ESP cards are shown: circle, cross, wavy lines, square & star. Three graduated envelopes are also displayed. Whilst the performer turns away, a participant freely selects an ESP card from among five different symbols, and the chosen symbol is reversed in the packet, which is then isolated in an opaque envelope. In true ‘test conditions’ style, this envelope is then examined by the participant, who confirms that it is completely opaque. The envelope is then inserted into a second envelope, then both these envelopes are isolated inside a third envelope, then placed inside a holder.

Under these impossible conditions, the performer is able to reveal the reversed symbol.The method is: So clean! So clever! So subtle. So devilish! So classic! So impossible!

Now get this:

There are no gimmicks, No forces. No sleight of hand. Totally unprepared props. Easy to do. Everything is examined. Can be instantly repeated with a different outcome. Nothing is added or taken away. Instant reset. No switches. No stooges. All self-contained.

WHAT IT IS:
Effect with Props

HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE AD COPY IS:
It’s accurate enough.

SET-UP AND RE-SET:
Wiping clean the laminated card, if you use it, and putting the cards in order, if you use that idea, is all in terms of set-up and re-set.

WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU NEED OR NEED TO KNOW:
You’ll need to supply your own dry erase marker to use with the laminated card to draw the final revelation. Also, there is no downloadable instructional video. There is a video demonstration of a performance by Luca Volpe, a 15-page printed instructional booklet, a PDF with the same instructional text, and separate PDF that contains an additional “convincer” idea.
