I really thought this was going to be a fun worker as I was familiar with the principles before my purchase. I have ESP cards both poker size & jumbo cards using this method. The concept predicting color was really appealing as I thought it would appeal especially to women.
First, the paper stock upon which they are printed is flimsy, cheep card stock. Cards from the Dollar Store have better quality. With a few spectator handlings, they are sure to become bent, creased & stained. The cards right out of the envelope will not separate or fan. They stick together in one unmanageable block.
Second, the entire effect is contingent upon the magician being able to casually view some certain “somethings” on the run. This is so obscurely hidden it is “impossible.”
Lastly, the colors of the cards are mostly not distinctive colors & in some cases almost similar in color.
I really like the concept of color choices over ESP symbols; however, unless or until the three issues are addressed, I can not recommend this product & mine will end up in a back drawer.

Roy, I will purchase this off you for 1/2 price. That way it’s a gain for me, and not as big of a loss for you email me at mepilkey@gmail.com, and I’ll buy it

Hi there Roy, I was in a similar position knowing the principles at play. I was also disappointed by card stock and markings (less so by colours, which I think are fine). I will laminate the cards, to keep them durable and make them fan easier. I've also marked the cards using a completely undetectable, very easy to make and read system. Just email me leipzisch@hotmail.com for more details. Lastly, although English is not his first language, I did find the tutorial tips helpful, to deal with each eventuality.

Roy, I have now laminated the cards and they look great, handle well and my improved marking system is a joy. Just message me leipzisch@hotmail.com and I'd be happy to offer more info. Best wishes, Ben

This is not looking very promising. I don't know if its a curse or a blessing, but I got two sets. I am going to wait on writing a review until I have given these a fair shake. Initial opinion: I can get better stock from the toy section of 99 cent store. And what is up with the instructions only appearing from the smart phone quick scanner? Don't mess that sticker up. There is nothing but the cards in the envelope. Then again, you get what you pay for, but we can only pay for what is sold. The creators should have had a little more respect for their effect and used more of a USPC type stock and charged more.

I did not spend enough time to determine if I can get to the tutorial on my computer or laptop or if I am stuck viewing it on a smart device? What I did see was rushed, hard to understand and too small to see any detail. I was able to pick up the basics by just looking at the cards.

I am going to try treating the open set. It seems like it might be fun for the audience if performed properly. But unless you spray your participants hands with Chamberlain's have fun helping them separate the cards. Dry hands cannot work these cards.

Good thing it's an easy Every Day Carry However the trick is hard to see, good for the subject bad for the performer.
