Magic Review - Extra Sensory Prediction by David Jonathan and Nikolas Mavresis

Magic Orthodoxy delivers a detailed review of "Extra Sensory Prediction" by David Jonathan and Nikolas Mavresis, a clever packet trick available from Penguin Magic. David emphasizes his commitment to honest reviews, guiding viewers through the mechanics of this ESP card-based prediction effect. The trick utilizes a stack of five ESP cards, allowing a spectator to freely choose a shape while the performer accurately predicts their selection, revealing a prediction on the chosen card and subsequently on all others. It's essentially a multiple-out effect presented in a playful and accessible format, leveraging a 'brain wave' principle. The 35-minute tutorial features clear overhead shots, covering the trick's mechanics, possible outcomes, and alternative endings. While the cards are well-made, David notes a slight learning curve due to the material, highlighting the importance of practice. Key techniques involve concealing cards within a fan, facilitated by a readily available substance. Despite a minor learning curve, David Jonathan appreciates the creative spin on the ESP trick and considers it a worthwhile purchase at $20. The review concludes with a promotion of the Magic Orthodoxy membership, offering access to a vast library of magic-related content for as little as $2 per month.
