Description & Effect
Revolutionize Your Mentalism with Emotional Sensitivity
Tired of the mundane? For decades, classic ESP card effects have captivated audiences, yet the traditional Zener symbols—the circle, cross, wavy lines, square, and star—have lost their mystique. They've become commonplace, even un-relatable, struggling to inspire the deeper connections found in 'normal' playing cards. Michael Breggar, a visionary in the world of mentalism, recognized this void and set out to create a system that injects genuine meaning and emotional depth into every performance. Prepare to transcend mere card tricks and delve into the human psyche with the ground-breaking EMOTIONAL SENSITIVITY PROJECT.
Introducing the ESP-D: A Deck of Human Emotion
At the heart of this project lies the innovative EMOTIONAL SENSITIVITY PERCEPTION DECK (ESP-D). Unlike anything you've experienced, this custom-designed deck comprises 50 unique cards. You'll find 25 'word' cards, categorized into five profound emotional sets: JOY, FEAR, ANGER, MELLOW, and SADNESS. Each word card has a corresponding 'image-based mate' – 25 additional cards featuring real, psychologically recognized icons. This thoughtful design provides a rich, narrative-driven foundation for your effects. Plus, the deck includes essential utility cards: a double-backed card and a blank-faced card, expanding the possibilities for mind-bending magic and mentalism.

THE EMOTIONAL SENSITIVITY PROJECT (featuring the Emotional Sensitivity Perception Deck: ESP-D) created by Michael Breggar
ESP card mentalism and magic effects have been around as long as... well, as long as there have been ESP cards! A traditional deck of ESP cards consists of 25 cards, five sets of five symbols each. By now, these symbols are familiar to most people.
However, familiar these symbols are, when they are used for modern mental (or magic) effects, a degree of boredom is suddenly introduced. These symbols are no longer "strange," they are familiar. They are un-ordinary.
Worse, they are un-relatable. Audiences do ascribe meaning to "normal" playing cards. There are 52 of 'em after all! They are used for games, magic, and even fortune-telling. There are stories to be told with them and their diversity allows for an infinite number of patter themes. Can the same be said for the circle, cross, wavy lines, square, and star?
To make a relatable system of ESP cards, I thought through what elements could be grouped into 5 sets of 5 and have meaning that could actually drive and effect and not be merely a prop in the background.
Ah... emotions! That's it!
I created the EMOTIONAL SENSITIVITY PERCEPTION DECK - the "ESP-D", for short. This deck, like a "traditional" Zener-style ESP deck, has 5 sets of 5 emotions: JOY - FEAR - ANGER - MELLOW - SADNESS. These 25 emotion "word" cards have IMAGE-BASED mates, making up another 25 cards.
These images are the "real" icons used in psychological shorthand documentation. PLUS... there is a DOUBLE-BACKED card and a BLANK-FACED card to enable many different effects.
The ESP-D will take your ESP card routines to a totally different level! You will up your mentalism game 1000%!
The ESP-D can be used for any ESP card effect in your repertoire. You will also get a 80-minute video tutorial featuring details, nuances, and four great routines. AND you will receive a downloadable PDF with 10 additional effects (including blockbusters by Bob Farmer and Michel Potts).
This is such a great package it's enough to make you emotional!
