5 More Miracles with 5 ESP Cards by Pablo Amira

Originally created in the 1930s by Karl Zener alongside J.B. Rhine, Zener Cards were intended for experimental use. In 1947, Rhine published “The Reach of the Mind,” detailing his findings in “Scientific Parapsychology.” Fast forward to 2010, a mentalist performer introduced five captivating routines using just five ESP Cards, each designed to evoke a sense of wonder anywhere.

Demonstration in ESP:

1. Classic ESP Experiment: In this classic setup, your participant acts as the sender while you take on the role of the receiver. It’s simple yet impactful.

2. ESP Dowsing: Your participant experiences an intriguing sensation with a pendulum and the five ESP Cards, selecting a specific card as if they were a dowser in the desert. (This effect is also featured in “Mindreading Lesson 11” by Kenton Knepper.)

3. Participant as Mindreader: Imagine if the performer becomes the sender and the participant the receiver. What unfolds next is fascinating.

4. Participant as Mindreader Performer: For a brief moment, the participant takes on the role of the performer, seemingly able to read another person’s thoughts based on an inexplicable feeling.

5. TOT (Tip of the Tongue): This phenomenon becomes even more intriguing as your participant completely forgets the symbol they were focusing on.

Bonus (2nd Edition):

6. OP 5 ESP Test: What if you could openly predict the choices made by your participant using the five ESP Cards?
