Opia by Lewis Le Val

ESP, or ‘Extrasensory Perception’, takes on a new meaning with Opia, a groundbreaking creation from Lewis Le Val. This innovative approach to telepathy using ESP cards feels incredibly authentic.

Opia embodies the intense sensation of vulnerability we experience when gazing deeply into someone’s eyes. It creates a profound connection, akin to the endless reflections seen between two mirrors, allowing minds to intertwine.

“Opia is absolutely brilliant. One of the most concise and strongest representations of Le Val’s thinking on mind reading he has ever written.” – Dee Christopher.

While the execution is elegantly simple, the underlying concepts of Opia are profoundly intricate. To perform Opia, all you need are five ESP cards (or business cards). Here’s a brief overview of the experience:

• The concept of Opia is introduced, with the five ESP symbols explained in an engaging manner.
• A deep connection is established between you and your spectator, creating a shared experience that feels genuine and is confirmed by them, culminating in a moment of synchronicity.
• You select an ESP symbol and place it face down. Your spectator attempts to connect with your mind and intuitively grasp elements of the symbol, all without any forcing or guessing. The outcome is purely psychological and remarkably clever.
• The roles reverse in the next phase, culminating in what appears to be genuine mind reading. This segment utilizes a unique reading system that requires no memorization, seamlessly integrated into the routine. It’s rich in subtlety and mystery, delivering moments that would impress even the great Alexander!
• Just when your spectator thinks the performance is over, you unveil a final revelation that leaves a powerful emotional impact. This twist employs principles from science, psychology, and musical theory to create a memorable conclusion, thoroughly explained for maximum effect.

Opia includes a compelling explanation of mind reading that resonates with spectators, allowing them to grasp the essence of your abilities while preserving the mystery of your performance. This insight is a valuable addition to your repertoire. For the first time, you can provide a plausible, pseudo-explanation for how you obtain specific details like names and dates.

Le Val also addresses how to justify having anything written down by a spectator, offering psychological, spiritual, or other approaches suitable for any mentalist style. An example presentation is included for immediate use.
