ESPY is a highly versatile, multi-purpose system and something of a game changer. It is used and adapted by you for a whole range of prediction-based effects. For example:
- Identifying freely chosen playing cards, wooden plaques, images, etc.
- Discerning which side of a hidden cube has been selected by a spectator.
- A “living & dead” effect where the spectator has a greater role in the performance than has otherwise been possible.
- A Tarot card reading using face-DOWN cards.
- Confabulation and psychic phenomenon routines.
- Spirit bell ringing and other PK effects.
At its heart, ESPY is a built-in RFID reading system with a LCD screen that you only see.
Espy comes standard with an RFID reader system and is available with a second function:
- RFID reader “standard” in the center of the top of the Espy – includes a set of ESP chipped cards found here.
- Two coils, one to the right and one to the left of the center top – this function comes with a spirit bell
These additional effects and props can be added as needed. I will release these props and effects as the years go on and will automatically work with the system! no upgrade needed!
We start this journey with these optional effects.
RFID effects:
- 10 Plagues of Egypt that are marked with an RFID chip in every wooden card. We can read these cards as a Tarot card routine or as a Gospel routine.
- Living and dead effect “HH Holmes”
- Regular new poker playing cards “all 52 chipped”
- Aged old playing cards “chipped”
- ESP wooden and paper cards “chipped”
- Major arcana Tarot cards “By Joe Silkie” ~ coming soon
- Full Cabalistic Tarot cards
These effects can be found here: https://www.arcanerelics.com/#acc
Coil effects:
- Nut off Bolt
- Spirit bells, pencils, and pendulums
- Wooden Dice, bones, and small runes
- Gaffed deck’s and cards.
Espy Attaché comes with an OLED screen that prints out the information on all the RFID effects. I hide the Espy Attaché screen behind an engraving plate you take to your local engraving shop to customize.
There are different modes to the RFID system one is “More details” when selected the screen will give more information about the card. This MORE information means you have less to remember about the card or photo, etc.
The next mode turns on or off the remote vibration unit. Because it does not have to wait for the remote unit to finish its vibration pattern, it displays the next card 3x as fast.
So here is what you get standard with Espy Attaché:
- Rfid system
- Set of ESP “chipped” cards found here.
- Lcd screen.
- Vibration remote.
- Attaché dividers.
- Video instructions

Here a is review from the Linking Ring: Page 99
Vertex Haunted Deck
Arcane Relics and Christopher Taylor. Available from Arcanerelics.com. $200. There is nothing that stuns an audience and leaves a lasting memory like a haunted
deck, especially if the deck moves under impossible test conditions. Now Arcane Relics has the best one on the market with four deck styles to meet any performance need.
As a mystery entertainment performer, I have a dozen or so haunted and rising decks. Some use invisible thread, loops, magnets, grains of salt, microsize plastic pellets, weights, or mechanical components. However, none are as versatile, easy to use, or reliable as Arcane Relics’ Vertex Decks.
Last year, Arcane Relics owner Chris Sipes purchased the rights to Taylor Imagineering’s excellent state-of-the-art Vertex deck. Unlike most other mechanical decks, the Vertex deck does not use a threadbased retraction system. It uses sonic vibration to split the deck. I have one of the original Vertex Decks from Christopher Taylor, and I loved it, although the deck could be a bit noisy and battery life could be an issue.
Sipes spent the last year refining the deck. He used smaller components, which helped eliminate noise. The smaller mechanics also allow for a thinner gimmick, so more regular cards can be added to the deck for the spectator to choose from. To increase the battery life, Sipes also added a sleep switch that puts the gimmick into sleep mode to conserve power when it’s in the card box. He made the gimmick easier to access to replace or repair anything that could go wrong. And finally, he added a multispeed controller that makes the deck amazingly versatile.
I put the deck under a glass dome and on the floor, and watched it slowly split at the point where the selected card was located. It was mind blowing. And even more impressive is watching the deck split at multiple points to reveal more than one card. You can also control how fast the split happens: eerily slow, a little faster, or use the custom speed mode to time your patter to the movement.
The decks are available in red or blue Bicycle backs. There are also vintage, distressed-looking 1900s-style backs and Tarot deck versions.
I understand that two hundred dollars is a lot to pay for a haunted deck, but the Vertex is a reputation maker. It’s a must-have for Mystery Entertainers, séance workers, and haunted dinner party performers. For mainstream magicians, this is a reliable and easy-to-use item you can add to your repertoire and should pay for itself during one Halloween season. If you already own a Vertex, as I do, I’d consider upgrading to this newer version because of the refinements that I noted. Either the vintage 1900s-style deck or the Tarot deck would be my recommendation.
Highly recommended. Rolando Santos

Great personalized service and fast shipping on an outstanding magic gimmick deck, new and improved over the prior (excellent as well) Taylor Engineering deck!
