Circa 1980's and we've never seen another!From the collection of a retired professional magician and magic collector.
This is a stage size version of the classic Match Board mentalism effect.It is made with jumbo cards on a heavy backing board.It is unusual because it uses two rows of THREE symbol cards, the better to see the symbols with, and the easier the routine.
The ESP Match Board uses a board divided into two rows, with elastic bands positioned to hold ESP cards. You also will use a set of six ESP symbol cards- a cross, wavy lines and star in your pile, and an identical pile for the spectator.Before beginning your routine, you have already placed your three ESP cards into the holders on the top column, with the card backs facing your audience so they cannot see which ESP symbol was placed in which position.
A spectator then selects a card from a second identical set of ESP cards. He FREELY CHOOSES in which position to place the selected card- which position he thinks holds the card which matches his card. The spectator does this for each of the three ESP cards.
With as much buildup and fanfare as you'd like, you turn the board to reveal- the spectator was 100% correct- each ESP card is in the same position as its matching ESP card!
Really startling effect gets a shocked and amazed reaction from your audience every time! It's your choice to perform it as a lighthearted magic routine, or as a serious "experiment" in psychic ability. Either way, it's a showstopper!
