A QUANTUM LEAP IN MENTALISM!
Harness the ultimate superpower: the ability to see through solid matter! Nikolas Mavresis & David Jonathan have devised a devious set of envelopes that allow you to do impossible, stunning feats of mentalism and magic such as:
A spectator freely selects a playing card and seals it inside any one of six opaque envelopes, all while your back is turned. They mix them as much as they like. Once you turn around you instantly know exactly which envelope contains the card, and without touching a thing, then reveal the exact playing card they chose!
Or how about having a selected card freely placed inside one of five envelopes that are labeled with different ESP symbols, all while your back is turned. You then display five ESP cards and ask them to focus on the symbol that was on their envelope. In their own hands, that exact ESP card magically turns facedown! When it is turned over it has transformed into their playing card!
These are just glimpses of what can be achieved with GAMMA. You will learn 8 powerful routines with bold takes on classic plots such as Bank Night, Living & Dead Test, Clue/Murder mystery, direct mind-reading, ESP effects and even predicting thought of playing cards!
Whether you are mentalist or a magician, beginner or a seasoned pro, GAMMA fits the bill for every type of performer.
In addition, GAMMA doesn’t just secretly inform you where something is, but it can also tell where something came from, unlocking doors to new routines and concepts.
Included are 12 high quality, custom engineered envelopes with printed ESP symbols and numbers, universal for any language or performance setting. You will also receive access to a masterclass tutorial with over 2 hours of in-depth video instructions.
Get ready to unleash your X-Ray vision with GAMMA!

Jheff's Guide
WHAT IT IS:
Two sets of envelopes. One has the numbers 1-6 on it. The other has six ESP symbols, which include both the wavy lines and the triangle.
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE AD COPY IS:
It’s accurate enough.
WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED THAT YOU NEED OR NEED TO KNOW:
You will need to provide your own deck of cards or blank playing cards for this. Also, the design requires seeing something about the size of a pinhead, which may not suit everyone’s abilities (I’m talking eyesight).
Also, the box proclaims that this is “THE ULTIMATE MIND READING DEVICE.” That’s clearly hyperbole, as that description is far from what this is. Also, it’s mentioned in the ad copy, but it should be emphasized that these are not peek envelopes. Though you can get information about what’s inside the envelope, it’s only to determine whether there is or is not anything inside.
SETUP AND RESET:
The envelopes themselves do not any set up or reset. However, there is some setup, preparation and reset in regard to some of the routines in the instructional video.
ANGLES:
The envelopes themselves have no angle issues.
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Parlor, Stage, Walkaround, Internet
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
These are very nice envelopes, well‑made and well‑designed, and getting two sets makes the package more versatile. They are worth getting, but the hyperbole is obvious and misleading. These do not operate like normal peek envelopes, and they will only allow you to know whether or not something is inside them. So long as you understand that GAMMA is not the “Ultimate Mind Reading Device” but a very well‑designed gimmick, this is something I’d highly recommend, especially if you love getting well‑made gimmicks that force you to be creative.
