โI want to buy every set so I can burn them. This is so strong, I want to be the only one performing it.โ

After guarding the secret for more than a decade, Ben Seidman is finally making one of his signature pieces available to the magic community!
โThe Oracle Systemโ is so much more than a singular routine. Using a dynamic combination of classic and original methods, and some deviously-customized Tarot Cards, this system allows you to conduct a pure and thought-provoking demonstration of mind reading and mentalism. It is easily the most talked-about moment from Benโs internationally-touring show.
However, we should point out that this is NOT a โtarot readingโ effect. Instead, โThe Oracle Systemโ is a powerful mentalism routine that allows you to take your audience on an emotional journey theyโll never forget. The tarot cards themselves are just one small piece of the greater whole. Even if youโve never touched a tarot card in your life, you can still perform โThe Oracle Systemโ.
Every aspect of โThe Oracle Systemโ centers around the spectatorโs past, present, and future. It offers you the chance to explore personal relationships, seemingly reveal intimate information and connect with your audience in truly meaningful ways. In fact, itโs so effective, donโt be surprised if your spectators start to believe that you can truly predict the choices theyโll make or the thoughts theyโll think.
Hereโs an example of how a performance of โThe Oracle Systemโ can go:
After both you and our spectator each shuffle a packet of five matching tarot cards, you begin a process of elimination. Four cards are eventually eliminated, leaving just one in each of your hands. Despite how fairly the spectatorโs choices are made, this final card impossibly matches every time.
Yet, thatโs not all. You are then able to show that you actually made EVERY decision in complete synchronicity because the order of the four tarot cards on the table also matches perfectly.
While there are multiple outcomes for โThe Oracle Systemโ, theyโre all equally strong. The core method (which is not difficult) remains mostly the same. Yet, youโre able to personalize the effect so each performance feels unique and special.
The true value of โThe Oracle Systemโ comes from Benโs insights on how to effectively deliver an authentic and personal experience for every audience. As you can also take this effect to new heights with some basic cold reading, Luke Jermay has even contributed some helpful bonus tips on the classic mentalism technique.
Each โThe Oracle Systemโ set comes with 12 beautifully-customized tarot cards and an elegant vegan leather wallet. Both video instructions and an accompanying PDF are included.

โBen Seidman is a genius. If heโs going to share something, anythingโฆ you buy it immediately! This creation is testament to that. It will truly become the most moving moment of real magic you share with someone. So use your new powers wiselyโฆโ

โWhat Ben has done is create a lovely frame for delivering a personal reading as part of a commercial magic performance. This is a tough balance to strike, and โThe Oracle Systemโ makes the reading feel natural while ensuring a strong, impossible climax. If youโd like to try your hand at giving readings, this is a great way to practice because you have a foolproof safety net. If youโre an experienced reader, this tool might actually be dangerous.โ
