I've marked it as a 2 instead of a 1 'cos if you've smallish hands you might find the handling a little 'knacky' to begin with…
Review
What do you get? Have a little look here….

Rather obviously this is a miniature ouija board. But instead of relying on real spirits to move it for you (and let's face it - they can be quite lazy sometimes) - you have complete control over it…
This opens up a whole (other)-world of revelations, be it cards/names or however you work. The design of the board itself Is fantastic. Ancient looking (as you can see) - though beware of spilling anything on it, and having greasy mitts whilst handling it…
The "other item" you get with it might benefit from a small covering of felt/velvet if it still works - I've not experimented with that idea yet…
And maybe the addition of the basic e.s.p. symbols might be a worthwhile addition - though that might not lend itself to the "authenticity" of a ouija-board…
Not only do you get a presentation written by Keith Hart, but also plenty of ideas to play around with too…
Overall
Excellent quality, a brilliant idea and a fantastic presentation. The sheer choice this gives you for revelations/mind-reading and so on is many a splendid thing…just take the time to play around with it and spend some quality time on the presentation rather than race through it grey-hound fashion with a "oooh look there's your card…"
Make it intimate and slightly odd throughout and you're going to get great reactions…
