The cards will last a long time and the board works amazingly with this effect. I highly recommend this. The tutorial is shot well, as usual for Marc's effects and I can't wait to see what he comes out with next.

Could a smaller version be made that would work for close up better in your opinion Ryan? I mean is it possible or are there other factors which would prevent this?
Best wishes Gaz 😊 |

This can be done close-up, Marc gives tips in his tutorial on how to manage the cards for it. I wouldn't want anyone off to the side/behind me when doing this effect, but if you have any card handling experience at all, you can pull this off in an intimate setting.

I really like this and recommend it. The big deal is how clean all the routine is. It's very close to how you might do this if the spectators could mentally read the cards. The real value hereis all about the routine. It's fairly easy, but tt does take some work to get the card handling down so it's smooth. The video teaching is excellent and he teaches an ending that uses only the cards. You can do this close-up provided there isn't anyone behind you (with or without the board). The board ending fits perfectly and is a nice climax for the average spectator. I personally like the clearly mental / mental clear type of board better and am considering making up a version uses that approach but I'm not sure that the work will justify the small improvement this offers.

This is a brilliant effect and routine. It’s very well made and for me, this is absolutely fun to perform. I am really enjoying the handling of the cards. It’s so satisfying how clean it is.

I agree dvno. I just performed this tonight to a large group on Zoom and it went over amazingly. They loved every aspect of this and I left the meeting feeling 100% confident about this effect.
I think the climax ending Marc performs is perfect, it's the one I use. It's a great reveal and people were amazed they picked the right cards each time. Can't wait for Marc's next effect. |

Hey guys. I thought I would mention I did a review show special on this prop.
I interviewed Marc about the trick and then he performed the routine. Afterwards I review the product and perform it as well. He also addresses some of the issues had on the Café early on in this thread. Here’s the link. It might be worth watching if you are unsure if it’s right for you. Thanks. https://youtu.be/BZzrhJPp91w |

I received mine this week and am completely satisfied. The method for the ending was as suspected, but the cards are quite clever. Looking forward to trying this out with an audience.

Performed this again 3 nights ago and had rave reviews. I feel bad taking any credit for something that is created so well and handed to us to perform. Marc has created my favorite effect of 2021 for sure. Class act with great customer service. Can't wait for his next release for the public.

I just played around with this and really like it. ESP symbols are a little esoteric, but the premise of the trick is novel (empower the spectator by having them always be right), and the method is clever. I will use to "test" whether older kids (above about seven) are "ready" to do the magic at their birthday party. This magical moment could readily be fit into adult shows, obviously, but also family shows and those for older kids. Harder core mentalists can use the power of suggestion to "control" the spectator's mind. Most importantly, the "guess the card"/kibuki/"which hand" kinds of effects do not often have strong endings. This one has a powerful ending. I wish there was a customizable set of props. Might that be forthcoming?
I have not recommended tricks on this post for a while, but had to stop lurking and praise this one. It is a great trick with a lot of routining possibilities. |

I purchased E-Wave when it was first released and finally got around to working with it over the weekend...It's a wonderful prop (highly-recommended!). E-Wave is a multi-phase routine that logically builds to a very satisfying climax. My initial hesitation (before purchasing) was that the final reveal seemed a tad awkward. But my workaround was to casually flash the back while introducing the 5 symbols and during the action of placing it on the stand.
When I first saw the trailer, I wrongly suspected that there was second set of cards BEHIND the board...And I tend to believe that many spectator's will draw this same (wrong) conclusion. So, to eliminate this line of thinking, a casual flash of the back of the board will remedy this. But please try to refrain from saying something stupid like, "Look there's nothing to see here on the back" LOL E-Wave is ideal for parlor and stage shows, but I don't see this as a close-up prop for many obvious reasons once you learn the secret. |

It’s German. It’s “nein”. That’s German for “no”. Don’t you guys in Virginia learn German at high school?
Please check regularly if you are becoming the type of magician Jerry Seinfeld jokes about. (This applies to mentalists as well.)

Is it me or isn't anyone noticing that the cards gain an incredible amount of width at the final reveal? The cards are thinner when upside down and when the final reveal is done, much wider. So it is obvious to me how this works and should be for any intelligent layman.
