This one was put out by Magic Menu editor, Jim Sisti, back in 1998.  It has not been available for many years, but I found this one in new and unused condition in a large lot of estate magic.

The props are very charismatic, with Zodiac and Planet symbol cards (business card size), and a great looking wallet that is printed on the outside with similar symbols.   The 20 cards are dealt out in ten pairs.  While the magi looks away, the spectator chooses any pair, and remembers the symbols.  Now she gathers up all the pairs and hands the 20 card packet to the magi.  He shuffles the cards and deals them out into 5 rows of 4 cards.  The spectator says which rows her symbols are in, and the magi immediately divines both of her chosen symbols.

Using a very old principle, updated and improved, Sisti has created a cool piece of close-up mentalism.

NOTE:  the symbol cards are difficult to handle, sticking together during counting etc.  But with an application of fanning powder, they handle perfectly.   I will powder the cards for you before sending, unless you prefer that the item be left in "new, as issued" condition.  That would be for collectors only, as I highly recommend fanning powder on the cards if you want to perform this.

Well taught in a booklet of instructions, with special printed card wallet and 20 Zodiac/planet symbol cards.  (Don't forget let me know if you want them powdered or not)
