E. S. P. Telepathy Cards (Chazpro)......$11.00
Telepathy Cards are based on an old, diabolical and greatly underused
principle. The idea is credited to Tan Hock Chuan, who published a routine
and the method in 1938. Bob Fillman released a version some years later.
The updated effect is as follows: A number ESP cards are shown, along
with a matching number of envelopes. Everything can be minutely
examined by all. The cards are placed in the envelopes so they stick out
about an inch. The performer instructs a spectator to select any card, take
it out, turn it over and place it all the way back into its envelope. They are
told not touch the other cards, but instead, simply pickup each envelope
and gently squeeze the sides so the card drops down into the envelope.
Once all the cards are all the way in their envelopes, the envelopes are
stacked and shuffled by the spectator, so even they do not know which one
contains their card.
All of the above actions take place while the performer's back is turned.
Facing the spectators, the performer takes the stack of envelopes and
deals them into a row on the table. In the simple action of placing the
envelopes onto the table the performer is able to tell which ESP symbol
was turned over. And at this point reveals it using as much showmanship
as possible. Repeat the effect as many times as you wish with equal
success. A one person effect. No stooges or confederates used. You'll
love the method which they'll never figure out.
