More Remote Viewing. In this fascinating effect, you and a spectator appear to share a psychic connection as you both draw the same ESP symbol without seeing each other’s work. The effect is compelling and straightforward, leveraging a combination of psychology and subtle audio clues to guide your “prediction.”

Method and Presentation:
- Setting the Scene: Hand a spectator five ESP cards (circle, cross, wavy lines, square, and star), along with a notepad and a short pencil. Explain that each card has a unique symbol. With your back turned, ask them to choose the symbol that feels most appealing and draw it on the notepad.
- The Subtle Clues: As the spectator draws, listen carefully. Since each ESP symbol has a unique structure:
- Circle: A single continuous line.
- Cross: Two lines crossing.
- Wavy lines: Three distinct lines.
- Square: Four straight lines.
- Star: Multiple lines and angles.
Using the short pencil increases the pressure required, making the strokes audible enough for you to gauge the number of lines and thereby identify the shape.
- Predicting the Choice: If you clearly hear the number of lines, you’ll be able to match the symbol they drew. If you’re unsure, rely on psychology: the star and wavy lines are most commonly chosen.
- The Big Reveal: Once you’ve drawn what you believe to be the spectator’s chosen symbol, turn around and show your notepad. When they reveal theirs, the symbols will match, creating a powerful moment of surprise and wonder.
This effect beautifully blends psychological insight with auditory cues, making it a strong addition to any mentalist performance.
