The Blurb
Great mindreading and magic together!
ESP Badges is a project of three tricks, using the enclosed props – a set of 5 ESP badges, deck of 25 ESP cards (printed on business card stock), and the cloth bag to hold all the props.
As well as being great for creating your own routines, there are THREE killer tricks included…
PIN UP – The perfect pocket trick. You remove the bag, tip out the badges, and lay them out on top of the bag. With a spectator, you go through a process of elimination, removing badges from the bag until only one is left. You show that you knew that one wouldn’t be removed… as it is the only badge that couldn’t be! It is actually PINNED ON! Everything can be examined.
ARMSTRONG – A spectator freely chooses a shape from the ESP deck, and then shakes up all the badges in the bag. You remove the badges one at a time without looking (you can even be blindfolded), being ‘drawn’ to one in particular. Astonishingly, it matches the spectator’s choice!
NANOMETER – The badges are tipped out onto the bag. From a line of ESP cards, a spectator freely chooses one and thinks of the symbol. They concentrate on it so hard that you reveal it, and then direct their powers to the badges… all of them drop off except for one – their chosen symbol is suddenly PINNED onto the bag!

Jheff's Guide
WHAT IT IS:
Props with routine(s) included
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE BLURB IS:
It’s accurate.
SET-UP AND RE-SET:
Set-up and re-set is minimal to none depending upon the routine you’re using.
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Walkaround
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
There’s some really smart thinking to these routines using lapel buttons that have ESP symbols on them. However, lapel pins with ESP symbols are not necessarily an organic item and that will be a major factor in deciding whether you will use this versatile set of pins or not.
