Do you possess Extra Sensory Perception (ESP)? The Kreskin's ESP board game will let you know! There are two portions: first the player attempts to determine what symbols are on a given test card; Second, a pendulum is suspended over a set of cards and determines answers to questions - the direction the pendulum swings will reveal letters (on the main board) or yes-no type answers on the smaller boards.Spooky, huh?
Kreskin was a well known, almost iconic, "mentalist" in the late '60s. This game was one of many "ESP" or "Fortune Telling" games which came out at about the same era: Ouija board, Ka-Bala and the Jean Dixon Horoscope Game are contemporaries.
Whether it works or not is up to you: seems like sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Maybe you just have to get in the right frame of mind. I have some scary as shit Ouija board stories I could tell from decades ago, but I guess that's another post altogether . . .
Anyway, it's an excellent retro collectible and decorator. I have it price at $17 - swing by and check it out!
