Dang, you got there first!
You did forget to mention the 2 manilla prediction envelopes that are also included though, and the superb booklet with nice photos and instruction on one sleight that is necessary for one routine (which will be v important for some people :wink:). You might want a false shuffle for the Banachek routine though and there isn't one taught here, but it's not strictly necessary.
Also, I thought at first the cards were printed on very good quality, heavy card stock but now I think they're plastic. Anyway, they're very nice and should last extremely well.
My nasty, warped, starry-backed cards are in the bin. These are the only ESP cards you'll ever need.

I agree with you both. The cards are brilliant, the plain backs totally take away from any susicion that they could be marked...

damnit, £12 would have brought the magicbox order I made yesterday to a nice round number!

Now you'll have to find something else to go with it to make another round number. Fate cruelly mocks you yet again.

Plastic ESP cards? Shame the backs are black instead of another solid colour, but anyone else thinking of digging out their X-perts for these bad boys?

I'd check that out first. I think they're plastic but I haven't had the guts to go all out to try and tear one yet.

Good point!

Without giving anything away, would the markings be noticeble by someone who needs to wear glasses for reading etc?

ha! actually, after spending a good 20 min's just staring at the cards i've kinda nailed it... it's SUBTLE though!

i wear glasses, and i can see the 'marks' ok... that said, i may use the back of the cards as an imaginary cinema screen and tell the spectator to 'imagine' his selected symbol on the screen... this should give me some extra cover to actually squint at the cards! HA!

deffo worth the money!!!!
