FROM 1975!From the collection of a retired professional magician and magic collector.
This is a pretty deceptive set of 25 ESP cards, marked secretly on the back so that you can identify whether the symbol on the face is a circle, a cross, a triangle, a square or a star.
Robert (Bob) Stenner (1924-1998) was a pro magician and magic inventor who worked under the name "Bob Mason". He also worked as an actor in Hollywood movies and TV, mainly westerns, as an assistant and understudy to John Calvert. He was also a partner with Leon & Velvet Mandrake
DESCRIPTION FROM BOB MASON: I have found that there are many occasions in mental and close-up effects where it is a big help to have an ESP Deck that I can read from the BACK.Prior to the release of this entirely new deck, I always marked my cards by hand.A time consuming task and it sometimes left a bit to be desired.This new deck has been printed on lightweight but durable stock.It was not designed for any fancy sleight of hand.Its use in ESP tests and effects of that nature will prove that they are indeed a valuable tool.You can read them fast and with a little practice.
Interesting tidbit:There is a handwritten note from Bob Mason to the original purchaser at the top of the instructions.It reads, "Sorry- wallets never came in for these. Deduct 15 cents per deck bought as credit on your next magic order. -Bob Mason:.
