Mind Power Deck by John Kennedy (Bicycle Back!) - People will SWEAR you've actually read their minds. You concentrate and reveal their thought-of cards with amazing accuracy!
"I've been waiting for this deck of cards in bicycle backs for years! A dream come true!" -Jay Noblezada
The Effect Spread a deck of cards face up on the table and ask a spectator to look at any card. No one else could possibly know the card because he never touches or names it. You concentrate, then slowly but surely "read his mind" and name the card!
You can repeat it immediately and it will become even more baffling. In fact, even if several people simultaneously look at different cards you can read each person's mind and name his card correctly every time!
John Kennedy's Mind Power Deck is so eerie, so impossible, your audience will be convinced that you possess a sixth sense.
Why is it so good? John Kennedy collaborated with master magician and mentalist Tim Conover to create the ultimate mind reading deck. It can be shown as a normal deck of fifty two cards and even be handled by a spectator without them noticing anything unusual. Yet you'll be able to "read their minds" correctly every time. And there's no system to memorize because the deck does the work for you. You'll absolutely love this trick!

This is another pretty cool idea from John Kennedy. The mind power deck is a great mentalism trick but it isn't the best. I only give it three stars because it is kinda risky to do. Once you get it you'll realize that the effect is not always going to work as smoothly as it does in the demo. I give it three stars because it won't work on all audiences. If you happen to be with a group of skeptics then it isn't the best. But on the plus side, if you are doing magic for people who actually like to be amazed, they definitively will be.
This is a hit or miss effect. It plays huge with some, but not so much with others. I'd spend the money on something else if you can! However, if you're really in to mentalism, then this effect can't be beat!

A sensational effect! This is one of those effects which seem like real magic to the spectators and the nice thing about this effect is that it's actually very easy to perform.
Certainly worth buying and adding to your reportoire.

This is a great mind reading tool. Combine it with Derren Brown's effect (smoke), and you have a cult in the making :)
The coolest part is if you leave the normal cards out, then do the trick, read their mind, and then show that there card was never in the deck at all, they were just seeing things!
