Now in a sleek black finish! The all-new black Eclipse cards add a fresh, bold, and slightly mysterious vibe to your mentalism gear. These stylish inversions keep the same brilliant high-contrast marking system, letting you spot your participant's cards from across the room without breaking a sweat.
Every mentalist worth their salt needs ESP cards in their collection, and let’s be honest, you want one of the finest ESP decks ever created.
Eclipse is a cleverly marked deck of 25 ESP cards (+ gaffs), which means you can always know what card your spectator is holding by casually glancing at the marks on the back. But these marks are like nothing you’ve seen before.
What’s the point of marked cards if you can’t actually see the marks? (A real head-scratcher with standard decks.) Nothing screams “suspicious” quite like a magician leaning in, squinting at the back of a card to figure out what it is. Enter Eclipse; the marks are SO bold that you can literally identify a card from the other side of the room!
Bold, indeed. Obvious? Not in the slightest. The marks are clear to you but remain completely INVISIBLE to anyone who isn’t in on the secret. Spectators can handle the cards freely and will struggle to uncover the hidden details, even under close scrutiny.
Prepare for people to be CONVINCED you’ve got psychic powers!
Eclipse is the brainchild of Dee Christopher, who you might recognise from BBC Three's award-winning Killer Magic. After wading through countless dodgy ESP decks at gigs, Dee crafted Eclipse to last. The cards are printed on plastic stock, meaning if they get a bit grubby, just give them a wipe. No need to keep replacing them for every gig!
And if we sent your shiny new Eclipse deck with just written instructions, it would still be a bargain. But we’ve gone one better (well, six better, to be honest).
When you snag an Eclipse ESP deck, you get exclusive access to a detailed online video masterclass with Dee Christopher himself. The video will not only reveal the secrets behind the markings, but it’ll also teach you SIX impressive, hard-hitting effects that you can perform with your newfound knowledge.
These effects can be performed as standalone tricks or strung together to create a full 25-minute mentalism act, perfect for both close-up performances and larger parlor settings. Some effects play with the secret marks, but many don’t, giving you a range of methods that’ll keep your audience guessing.
The effects include:
ESP Opener A spectator freely names any ESP symbol, and you reveal that you knew exactly which one they’d choose all along.
Sensor A three-phase routine where you "see" with your fingertips. Each phase ramps up the impossibility. With a mix of methods, this powerful routine is rock-solid, and everything is completely examinable at the end.
Gambit ESP Five face-down ESP cards are shuffled by the spectator. They then drop a prediction on top of ANY card. The prediction is revealed, matching the chosen symbol!
Serial Reveal You predict the unique serial number on a spectator's borrowed banknote! This effect spices up your act and gives you a perfect excuse to use props (envelopes and pens) left over from earlier effects.
Distance The entire deck of ESP cards is shuffled by the spectator and spread across the table. From a good distance away, you reveal each card they select. This effect is UNREPRESENTABLE with any other ESP deck out there!
ESP cards have been synonymous with mentalism since the 1930s and the allure of those five simple shapes has earned them a rightful place in pop culture. Now it’s your turn to do the alluring.
Join the ever-growing legion of magicians and mentalists who favour Eclipse ESP cards over the run-of-the-mill alternatives.
