Eclipse
Every mentalist needs ESP cards in their toolkit and now you can own one of the greatest ESP decks ever devised.
Eclipse is a secretly marked deck of 25 ESP cards (+ gaffs) meaning that YOU know which card your spectator is holding at any time by secretly glimpsing the marks on the back. But these marks are like NO other.
What use are marked cards if you can't see the marks?! This is a very real problem with the typical alternatives; Nothing looks more suspicious than a performer leaning in and closely squinting at the back of a selected card to figure out what it is. Eclipse is the answer; the marks are SO bold, you can literally identify a card a spectator is holding from the other side of the room!
Bold, yes. Obvious? HELL NO. The marks may be bold to you but remain INVISIBLE to the uninitiated. Spectators can freely handle the cards and even under close inspection will struggle to find the secret.
People will be CONVINCED you're psychic!
Eclipse is the brainchild of Dee Christopher, star of BBC Three's award winning Killer Magic television series. Having gone through hundreds of poor-quality ESP cards at gigs, Dee designed Eclipse to last a lifetime; The cards are printed on plastic stock to avoid degradation, so if they get grubby, simply wipe them clean. No more ordering a new pack for every gig you're booked for!
If we supplied your brand new Eclipse deck only with written instructions, it would be GREAT value for money. But we've gone one better (six better, to be precise).
When you purchase an Eclipse ESP deck, you will be granted exclusive access to an in-depth online video masterclass with the creator, Dee Christopher. The video will not only entrust you with the secrets to decode the markings, you'll be taught SIX impressive, hard-hitting effects that can be performed with your new-found knowledge.
What's more, the effects taught can be performed individually or strung together to create a full 25 minute mentalism act, ideal for both close up performances and larger parlor settings. Some of the effects utilize the secret marks, but many don't, equipping you with a multitude of methods to help make backtracking impossible for your audiences.
The effects include:
ESP Opener
A spectator freely names any ESP symbol and you reveal that you knew exactly which symbol they would choose ahead of time.
Sensor
A three-phase routine allowing you to "see" with your fingertips. Each phase increases in impossibility. With multiple methods in play, this powerful routine is impenetrable and everything is completely examinable at its conclusion.
Gambit ESP
Five face-down ESP cards are mixed on the tabletop by the spectator. The spectator drops an unread prediction on top of ANY card. The prediction is opened and is found to match the chosen symbol!
Serial Reveal
You predict the unique serial number on a spectator's borrowed banknote! This effect adds impressive variety to the act and gives you a perfect excuse to naturally use props (envelopes and pens) left on the table from earlier effects.
Distance
The entire deck of ESP cards is shuffled by the spectator and washed around the tabletop. At great distance, the performer can reveal each and every card the spectator selects. This effect CANNOT be replicated with any other ESP deck on the market!
ESP cards have become synonymous with mentalism ever since they were first used in the 1930s to test for psychic phenomena. The undeniable allure of the five simple shapes have earned them a place in popular culture and now it's your turn to do the alluring.

Customer reviews for Eclipse
This product is everything you want from marked ESP cards AND SO MUCH MORE!
Let’s start with the cards themselves - they are made from wipe clean plastic (such a bonus for workers who table-hop or work in bars/ restaurants) yet they handle as good as ordinary cards.
The marking system is HUGE and so can be spotted even across a room (one of the supplied effects is called Distance and is just that …) Once you learn the marking system you can’t UNSEE the marks yet your spectators will NEVER see them even on close inspection ??
The tutorial video from Dee Christopher and Lewis Le’Val is first rate and at 2.5hrs you get a lot for your money!
Lastly the packaging - like all 1914 products, these cards are wonderfully presented and the mat black plain tuck box will elegantly fit in to anyone’s performance style.
So if you’re in the market for a quality set of marked ESP cards, look no further than Eclipse!!!

Have a question about this product? It's possible others do too. Ask here and other Vanishing Inc. Magic customers will be able to respond with assistance! Alternatively, email us and we can help too.
Gabriel asks: What is the size of the parlor version ?
- 1. Jim responds:In the packaging, it is 4.5 x 6.2 x 1.0 inches.
Dominic asks: Hi! Just wondering if they've considered making a jumbo version of these? I realize these aren't VI exclusive but the 1914 "Contact us" page doesn't work so perhaps this will be seen by the powers that be. Keep up the great work gang!
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:We can certainly pass on your request!
Mark asks: In the block to the right of the product video, the number of stars shows 2.7 with 7 reviews. Why 2.7 since all the reviews show 5 stars?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:We will look into this
Seunghwan asks: Are they poker or bridge sized cards?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Poker.
Chris asks: Is the effect where spec and magi lay down five cards each and they all match included?
- 1. Robert responds:If you already know how to facilitate that particular effect, then, yes, you could say it is included, as you’re given what you need to perform that effect. But it is not taught in the instructional videos. I know the effect you are referencing and I perform it, as well, using two different methods. The Eclipse deck comes with what I need to perform both/either of the methods I know. You get five full sets of ESP cards, (25 cards, total), and four additional cards that are, in some way, gaffed; so you can use this deck to perform other ESP symbol effects you may know, (including matching effects), as well as any - or all - of the effects taught in the Eclipse instructional videos.
