Review

well 10 ESP cards 5 red and 5 blue. You hand the spec 1 blue card they hand you one red card you turn the cards over and they both match up. Of course the spec turns over there cards and they are all blank. There is a vid on alakazam demoing this it is a nice effect.

Well you cant get much better then that can you folks one card taken from you and one from them perfect match except the backs. Lovely line Peter uses “it doesn’t matter if they are marked as I gave you my card first” it actually plays like that.

Ture ESP! well no there is gimmickry afoot and depending on your skills of misdirection and how well you move your fingers this may prove bothersome at first. Bit of practise though and you are away. All though the second part of the “move”. this takes away from it being an perfect effect and seldom is.

But it plays out like on the tin well clear plastic bag. The instructions are clear but lacking in patter but make your own up its not that hard. And all cards come on Bicycle stock that’s right bike ESP cards oh the joys!

Yeah there are other ESP routines some better some worse some double the price but if you want a quick little demo of ESP in a packet trick then why not this. And why not follow it up with Zennertech? The perfect packet trick esp routine don’t you think. And the gimmick can be remade by you when it gets worn out.

Of course a bit of audience control is needed because you don’t want them seeing blank cards until the end but this is no big deal. The main detraction I have of this effect is the “move”. Patter strongly about ESP and the likes and that’s one nice peace of mental magic.

Oh and the package didn’t come with them little packet trick wallets. But I feel Peter has come up with a great little opening routine that will let you bound up words when performing mental effects.

Overall

8 would be more but the move. And lack of walelt.

I am master of misdirection, look over there.

We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.

Sorry Mr Fish when I done the Search I looked for "ES PERFECT" rather then "ESPERFECT"

The reason your search failed is because the effect actually CALLED 'ESPerfect'.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE use the search, and append existing threads, rather than make new ones.
