Eclipse by Dee Christopher

Effect

Eclipse is a marked ESP deck designed for mind reading performances. The audience sees a deck of ESP cards with symbols like circles, squares, and wavy lines. The magician can instantly identify any card a spectator chooses, even from a distance, creating the illusion of genuine psychic ability. The deck allows for multiple effects, including predictions, symbol reveals, and impossible coincidences, all while the cards appear completely normal and examinable.

Full details

Eclipse includes 25 marked ESP cards, two double facers, a double backer, and a reveal card. The deck is plastic-coated for durability and feels like standard playing cards. The marking system is bold enough for the performer to read easily but remains hidden from spectators. The package comes with nine streaming videos and a cheat sheet to help learn routines. A 2.5-hour masterclass teaches five effects that can be combined into a full mentalism act. Bonus routines by Louis Lavalle add extra versatility. The deck is housed in a premium black box with no printing, allowing performers to customize its presentation.

Who should consider the trick

Eclipse is ideal for mentalists, magicians who perform walk-around or parlor shows, and anyone interested in ESP-based routines. Beginners will appreciate the easy-to-learn system, while professionals can use it for quick resets and reliable performances. It works well in close-up, stage, and strolling settings.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

No complex sleights are required, making Eclipse accessible to all skill levels. The markings are designed for quick recognition, and the included tutorials provide clear instructions. The deck is practical for real-world performances with minimal setup.
