ESP Origins Deck Only

Before writing the review on the quality and markings - have to note something important to buyers of this product and of course as a permanent note to self :
The most important technique in presenting with these - will be your character.
There are many routines and always new ones coming, but it will not matter if you do not 100 per cent believe you are doing something with an ESP talent you have been gifted with or discovered, - it will look like you were gifted a trick from a Magic Shop.
You just have to maintain conviction you have a special ability or can subtly influence others. Own it with a humble pride. And if people balk, no problem move on to a more simple demonstration.
I have found that the idea of challenge or proving which can be so powerful in card magic, may work against you in Mentalism. Maybe it's that cards can be seen as a skill, and mentalism is more "an inner personal gift" as an inner dialogue.
Getting people to volunteer with the caveat that they really must work with you - you'll be moving towards stronger results and reactions.
These Cards look great and are very durable. The markings are very clear. I've had a lot of fun with these in the right circumstances. Of course again come up with a good story why you're carrying them around. Know the reason why you would be demonstrating what you're doing. But for the money these cards are superb. There are a couple of gimmicked cards included as well.
