 Hey everybody, welcome back to magic orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a deck review Hey today, we're looking at the Anglo ESP deck the black deck from El Ducco What is this? You know, I guess I could say this is a deck review. It's also a magic review It's a magic deck of cards. So I don't really know which category it falls in You don't really get a magic trick with this, but you can do magic tricks with this So deck review magic review you decide. Alright, so what is this deck? This is a deck of ESP cards. Okay, sometimes called Xenar cards Sometimes called Rhine cards. All right, but it has the five symbols the wavy lines of star the square the circle and the cross All right So this ESP deck with the Anglo black back design was printed by a Fossen of Sweden The cards are the same high quality cards Maybe if you've previously held the Anglo poker edition number nine So this ESP deck contains 25 symbol cards And like I said, they originally designed by dr. Joseph Ryan back in 1927 He designed these to test the extra sensory perception at Duke University And maybe you probably saw these premiere in the very first Ghostbusters. That's where I first saw them This Anglo deck contains 25 ESP cards. I'll get so again, you're getting the five of each You're getting five circles five crosses five wavy lines five squares and five stars and then you're getting an additional 25 ESP cards same exact faces, but these ones are secretly marked on their backs You're also gonna get four double face cards, which have a force circle on one side now I own a lot of ESP decks. I own a lot of Xenar decks. Why would I pick this one up? Well, first of all, it was 11 bucks. Hey, it was $11 and 25 cents from penguin magic calm And I would suggest if you liked this after watching my video I would head down to penguin magic and pick one of these up. I Got them because the ad copy says Probably the best ESP deck in the world Probably the best ESP deck in the world. I had to add the cart and see what it was like Reason being is because some of the best ESP tricks you can do are with marked ESP cards And I have some that are really hard to read and I have some that are fairly easy to read So I kind of wanted to see where these fell. Let me just say these are probably the easiest ESP cards I've ever read As soon as I learned the key. I was reading them immediately without any mistakes Okay, with no mistakes and the markings are so deceptive that only you will know what they mean In other words on the back of the cross. There isn't a cross There's a different marking that stands for the cross and you will understand what it means immediately I promise you now about the quality of the cards. They're not the greatest quality Okay, they don't glide beautifully. They don't shuffle beautifully, but that's not really why you get ESP cards You don't get them for their handling. Okay, you're not doing magic tricks with double lifts and spreads and you know flourishes You're getting them for the ESP tricks And so it's nice to have the marked and the unmarked versions If you don't want to get caught and or if you're not using a specific trick that uses marking systems It's nice to have the unmarked But most of the time you only have five or six or seven of these cards at a time Maybe you have all five cards and then a force card or all five cards and a prediction card Okay, so more often than not you're not going to be doing any funny shuffling anyway So if you're looking for an ESP deck, you don't even own one yet. This is a great one to start with This is a great great deck. I'm really glad I picked this up And I would definitely agree that this is probably the best ESP deck in the world Like I said, I picked that mine from penguin magic comm and if you'd like to purchase yours I would suggest you head there as well. Thanks. Bye
