This is the classic ESP matching effect. Two sets of ESP cards are introduced, one of which is handed to your spectator. You begin by placing one of your cards sight unseen onto the table, and the spectator follows this by placing one of their cards next to yours. This is repeated with the four remaining cards; each time the mentalist’s card is placed down first. Despite the odds the mentalist appears to have predicted the exact order that the spectator would deal their cards. Everything may be left for examination!

Note: This effect requires the use of ten marked ESP cards. Subtly marked business cards could also be used for impromptu presentations too.
