The original Magic With An ESP Deck was written in 1972 as an “instruction manual” to go with an ESP Deck marketed as a magic prop. The mimeographed manuscript contained a hand full of good self working effects with an ESP Deck, written and produced over a couple of days. Sam Dalal thought no more of this than the hundreds of similar manuscripts and instruction sheets he has written over the years for commercial magic items.
He was delighted when he found the book had achieved the status of a reference book on the subject. Republished by Micky Hades, references to this manuscript popped up in other books and magazines, and in 1977 a revised, enlarged and much better produced edition was published by Accent Products of U.S.A. This elevated it from an instruction manuscript for the files to a space of its own on the book shelf!
This third, again revised and enlarged edition (published 1995) contains everything in the original editions, and more.
1st edition 1972; revised 3rd edition 1995; digital edition 2011; 31 pages.

I have this from the 80's. It is well worth your money. Some of the effects in it like ONE in 14,400 will make a spectator appear extremely psychic. It has my highest rating.
