I've been field testing this 3&7 ESP routine for a while now, and I have to say, it can be powerful, but you also need to be careful.

Excellent explanation jsmooth.
Also, watch Mystery's video on this routine. See how he "snaps" his fingers at the appropriate spot on the "number line".
I have tried this about 5 or 6 times, and the ALWAYS call me on it. before I can even finish the trick, they notice that I snap on the number line.
What I find more effective is to add the kino test to this routine. Ask if they believe in ESP, then If you put your hands out palms up, while saying something like "let's try something", they will always comply. So now you've got compliance, kino and awesome EC... she's solely focused on you now. What I do instead of snapping is just very quickly say "Got it?". Do not let them think for too long (if they do, they tend to pick 2 and 6, in my experience because they realize that 3 and 7 are easy).
Another addition that can help if it's a 2 set is, if you get her first number right, and her friend really wants you to try it on her, then just try the second number on her. This can help with DHV'ing the group, and will help to get rid of having her friend begging you to try it afterwards. (Negs only work so far, especially when there's alcohol involved).
Another routine that stacks well with this is to tell her to say 4 things about herself, and make one a lie. She will look a different direction (left or right, depending on which is her dominant hand) when she lies. I have also noticed that the lie is usually the last thing they say.
Anyone have anything else we could use to stack with these routines?
