What you need:
5 ESP Cards.
Routine Phase One:
The Performer talks about the 5 ESP symbols invented by
J.B.Rhine. The symbols are choosen from items that are relevant
in our life. The circle representing the sun. The plus sign
represent accumulation of wealth. The wavy lines represents
water. The sqare is the window of oppertunity, and finally the
star that is seen in the sky at night.
I ask a spectator to empty his pockets, (a mobile phone can
cause the effect not to work) I then ask the spectator to place
one card in the left pocket and the other four in the
right pocket.
Then I use a laserpen to point at the pockets to make sure that
the spectator has got one card in the left pocket and the other
four in the right pocket.
I use the laserpen for three reasons:
1: People think it is involved in the trick and gives them false
hope as explained in John Riggs
book "Psychic Pselections".
2: I am distancing myself from them at the beginning of the
effect.
3: I need a pen to write later in the effect.
Now I walk close to the spectator and around him while I scans
his pockets with the antenna mounted at my wrist. Before I
reveal the card the spectator has choosen, I write down the five
different symbols on a business card, while I ask another
spectator what card he think is in the left pocket. This is
because I need the business card in phase two of the
routine.
After this I reveal which card that is placed in the
spectators left pocket.
Phase Two:
Talking about it could have been a lucky guess, I now tell
the spectator to place one card in each of his pockets and one
in his shirt pocket or inside jacket pocket. If the spectator
not is wearing a shirt or jacket, let him place the fifth
card between his hands. Now walk around the spectator a couple
of times while you secretly scan his body with the antenna. Use
the business card to write down the positions of the cards in
his pockets, beside the symbols on the buisinesscard ( FL: front
left, BR: back right etc.), or remember the order, and then
reveal the positions.
Writing down this routine doesn´t make it
sound great, however if you try this routine you will see
the response is great !
