When i used ESP cards i dont do TRICKS , i do experiments in ESP, so the first thing that i will
change in this deck is the box itself.
The real box contains the 5 symbols.
Also the back is
too similar to a Bicycle cards... why?
But now the good things.
Good quality
cards: Very durable. My deck have almost 2 years, and 0 problem.
Invisible Marks: Very easy
reading and sutble.
Comes with some routines that you can use.
4/5 , but still a must
buy for a student of mentalism.

These aren't bad for the price. The backs are dark blue, which I like. The design is similar enough
to Bicycle backs that they don't look too strange or suspicious. (You can't use them in/with a
Bicycle deck, though.)
The markings are super easy to read. Unfortunately, they are outside of
the printed design on the card, (along the edge), and I had one spectator in a group notice them
right away - and was vocal about it. The cards are decent quality, but they are thinner than
Bicycles and don't have an air-cushion finish, (though they do appear glossy and I assume they have
some, thin coating of sorts). Overall, a decent deck of ESP cards for the money. Easy to read and
attractive to the eye.

Simple, subtle and not overly clever. Several major names use this deck over all the others that
are out there because it is so simple and easy to work with even when you're an old fart like me,
with bad eyesight.

Coming from Vernet, I had supposed that this would be a quality item, but it is not.
Card
quality is the worst in any ESP deck I've bought: cards are to thin and have a very plastic feel.
Markings are also the worst I've seen: poorly placed, very obvious for the expectator but
not so much for the performer.
Finally, back design is similar to Bycicle Rider Backs,
which I think does not match the theme for a ESP effect.
At this price point, ESP deck by
Royal Magic has a much better markings and card quality; and if you don't mind spending 4 extra
dollars, go for the Anglo ESP deck, which is one of the best ESP decks in the market.

reading a marked deck has been a challenge for me in recent years.
this deck is almost foolproof
Even in poor lingering I can read the cards.

a competent attempt at marked ESP cards but the backs are too fancy - beyond ESP 3 works much
better- should have got the psimble deck instead

Very nice Zener (yeah, that's the way it should be spelled) deck. I started to buy the Bicycle
version but thought it looked weird: it brings to mind "playing cards." This deck looks like what
it is - an ESP deck for experiments. It's marked, but you don't have to take advantage of that if
you think that's "cheating." You can do a variety of mentalist routines with this, from Zennerism to
NLP.

I like these cards. The quality is good and the markings on the back are easy to see if you know
where to look.
I decided not to read the directions until I found the markings. I was
unfamiliar with the method, so It took me a while to find them.
Now I have the confidence
to use them, knowing my audience will be non the wiser.
I liked the ESP I use the jumbo size
I bought 3 packs.
I suffered a series head trauma
in 2019 and I use that fact as remembering the cards when in real life they are marked
