The Effect
They Say...
"Your spectator is given your ‘International Paranormal Research Society’ membership card to write the name of some deceased person on it’s rear. You do not see the name. They then mix the card into a stack of more of your IPRS cards.
Using the mini Ouija board that is in your card case you correctly find the card with the deceased’s name written on it".

Review
Yet again we get a Real World effect that is easy to do and a good effect. I have had this for a while now and been table-hopping it. Before we begin with reviews let's look at what you get. First off when you order you supply details that you want printed on the business card. I had my name, phone, email and website. The cards are a nice white and look good when on the table. You get all the cards you need, a template by email and one in the package, you also get a plastic business card holder with a ouji board picture glued in it.
The routine is so simple and the secret is very clever. The person can keep the business card afterwards so they have your contact details. If you do not want to present a 'dead person' story then just present it as a mentalism routine. There is no real reset and you are always ready to go. You will peform this the moment you open the package (even complete beginners).
Of course such effects will not suit everyone. If you are the kind of person who loves the complex, finger-busting routines then look elsewhere. But don't let the simplicity of this put you off, i am using this a lot and it really gets good reactions.
Overall
10/10 can't fault this, good price.
