a competent attempt at marked ESP cards but the backs are too fancy - beyond ESP 3 works much better- should have got the psimble deck instead

I wanted an ESP-symbol deck, and also balked at getting a Bicycle back deck. I'm glad I got these Vernet ones, instead. Yes, the back does look a little similar to Bicycles, but I think that is something that would be noticed more by the magician/mentalist than by the spectator. And it is kind of a cool design, too. The marking is easy to use but very subtle, I don't think a layperson would ever catch on. The card themselves are nice and stiff, and have a good finish. I would imagine the deck I got will last a very long time.

Very nice Zener (yeah, that's the way it should be spelled) deck. I started to buy the Bicycle version but thought it looked weird: it brings to mind "playing cards." This deck looks like what it is - an ESP deck for experiments. It's marked, but you don't have to take advantage of that if you think that's "cheating." You can do a variety of mentalist routines with this, from Zennerism to NLP.

When i used ESP cards i dont do TRICKS , i do experiments in ESP, so the first thing that i will change in this deck is the box itself.
The real box contains the 5 symbols.
Also the back is too similar to a Bicycle cards... why?

But now the good things.

Good quality cards: Very durable. My deck have almost 2 years, and 0 problem.

Invisible Marks: Very easy reading and sutble.

Comes with some routines that you can use.
4/5 , but still a must buy for a student of mentalism.

Vernet produce some amazing tricks, but this is one of their best.

These ESP cards have endless possibilities - it's magic, it's mentalism, it's impossible mircales!

The marks on the cards are so unique that they are invisible to the spectator. The handlings you are provided with are great, enough to get you started using these everywhere.

I take this deck with me whenever I can, because it's just the peferect trick, great with any other mentalism routine.

Perfect for stage, for street for close up, the possibilities end where your imagination ends!
