Magic Tricks

Upon opening the box, I knew where the marks were and was able to easily discern which mark was for which symbol. If you experience the same thing, don’t let that get you down. There are some ESP decks that, as I get older, are harder to read and no one wants to have to put on reading glasses to perform a trick…that telegraphs that something is up. I can read these in low light and from across the table without any reading glasses at all. And despite the markings being easily seen by the performer, I am confident that laypeople will not notice anything, regardless of how closely they examine these cards. By being able to tell what symbol is on which card at a very quick glance, and from a couple feet away, your spectators shouldn’t even think markings are involved.
I will say that I can see these easily from about five or six feet away at most. The across the room thing doesn’t work for me; though I don’t need to used them for anything like that. It may be an angle thing or lighting thing…so I’ll keep practicing at the distance reading. I should mention that I can also see these in very low light. I’m sitting in my living room with just the television on and I can still read these cards by just the light from the TV.
I performed with these the day after I received them and I couldn’t be happier with these cards.

These are made from plastic. They handle well and unlike other plastic ESP cards, are made in such a way that the images on them shouldn’t fade, scratch off or degrade with use. These should last you many years and using them in a restaurant or somewhere that condensation from a glass or something may be on the table, is not a problem. They give a satisfying ‘snap’ when turning them over a certain way. Very good quality.

You get five sets of ESP cards, (five cards each set - one of each symbol), a few gaff cards and a ‘DB’. They come in a plain, matte black box made of card stock. You also get over 2 hours of teaching. Several routines are provided and you can link them together to make an entire show.

The only thing I’d have liked to have seen with this set is the box be made from plastic, as well, because the box will wear out long before the cards will!

I have several decks of ESP cards, all in various sizes, including two made from plastic and one with a marking system I love…but Eclipse beats them all. All those other decks are going to collect dust. Eclipse just became my favorite ESP deck and it’s going with me everywhere I go!
