ESP Card Telepathy
By David Dellman
Telepathy – the ability to transfer thought from one mind to another,
to transmit or receive thought.
SET UP:
A full pack of ESP cards = 25 SOURCE MATERIAL: 13 Steps to Mentalism by Corinda p. 408
From bottom – first 5 cards are double faced with matching sym-
bols on both sides. ROUTINE:
Like all forms of communication, telepathic impressions originate
in one mind and take shape in another. The challenge is to bridge
these two horizons, to create an impression so clear that it cannot be
mistaken.
From top – first 5 cards are double back (Figure 1)
We can do this by using standard symbols or we can write out
thoughts down to make them more concrete.
One researcher that used symbols was Dr. Karl Zener in the early
1930s
Dr. Zener developed the symbols we now associate with ESP in fact
some people refer to these as ESP cards
There are five symbols that repeat five times in the typical deck.
Show cards with a casual spread – careful not to spread too far and
flash the double backers
Place one of each of five face out on the stand -The double facers.
