Nique Tan Chats - I.S.P by Kaleb Wade
Mentalist Nique Tan delivers a glowing review of Kaleb Wade’s “I.S.P.” (Impromptu Sensory Perception), a clever mentalism routine utilizing a stack of eight symbol cards. Nique praises the effect as portable, easy to perform, and designed to be an “EDC” (Every Day Carry) effect, requiring only blank index cards or business cards and a pen. The ebook, approximately 100 pages long, details the core routine, I.S.P., which involves spectators choosing symbols drawn on the spot, leading to a series of reveals. Beyond the main routine, the ebook also includes “ISS-P” (Impromptu Solo Sensory Perception), “Mist,” and “Mystify,” both prediction effects. The core of I.S.P. relies on a combination of magical principles, cleverly integrated to create a deceptive and engaging effect. Nique emphasizes the importance of the impromptu feel, suggesting that having spectators draw the symbols themselves adds to the entertainment value and creates a more engaging experience. Overall, Nique considers the routine “great” and a valuable addition to any mentalist's repertoire, highlighting its simplicity and deceptive nature.
