The Blurb
Take an all white card case out from your pocket, and from this case take out 6 cards.
Place one of these 6 cards face down on the case and explain to your spectators this card is your prediction.
Now, tum the others 5 cards, they are the 5 ESP Symbols: circle, cross, waves, square and star.
Pick up the cards and shuffle them face down front of your spectators before laying them, always face down, in a row on the table!
No one, and it is true, now knows the order of the 5 cards on the table!
Sum up it nicely:
- 1 prediction card face down on the card case.
- 5 ESP cards, perfectly shuffled face down in a row on the table!
In the next few seconds, your spectator will choose freely one of these 5 ESP cards.
When you will snap your fingers, your spectator will choose freely a number… The 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 or 5! Really freely choice!
Warning… Snap your fingers!
Your spectator chooses 3 (for example)
Ask him if he wants to change or keep the number 3! Your spectator can really change his number as many times as he wants, there is no force or influence. He doesn’t change, his choice is validated!
Ask him to put his fingers on the third card on the table! Without any gesture or manipulation, take the prediction card with your fingertips… Flip the prediction card and the spectator’s card at the same time:
It is just IMPOSSIBLE!
Your prediction is 100% identical to your spectator’s card… same ESP symbols have been choose!
Jheff's Guide
WHAT IT IS:
Effect with Props
HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE AD COPY IS:
It’s accurate enough.
SET-UP AND RE-SET:
The re-set takes a few seconds. It can’t be done in front of audience unless you do the re-set inside your carry case or behind something else so that it can’t be seen.
SUITABLE VENUES:
Close-up, Internet
JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
There’s no question that this certainly delivers what it promises. However, if you’re familiar with Mickael Chatelain’s work, then you wouldn’t be surprised to learn that almost all of the included props are specially made and you’d know how, generally speaking. To me, this is another example of taking a classic mental effect and applying magical thinking to it. If that suits your style and needs, then certainly I would recommend this. Otherwise, there are other ESP routines and products I’d recommend.
