Color Blind was not one of the "must-have's" in the Emerson & West line-up.  Not sure why, as it is a good effect -- very similar to the effect of the hit packet trick "ESP-ecially Wild" by Paul Hallas about 15 years later.   (But with diamonds and letters, instead of ESP symbols).     I have a feeling that Emerson & West were so busy printing Color Monte's and Eight Balls that they just didn't have time to promote this one!   Maybe...

Anyway, here is a gorgeous example of this hard-to-find packet effect.  From new-old dealer inventory, it appears to be unused, and is complete as issued.  It is an excellent routine, and (like most E&W packets from the 1970's and 80's) it has vanished into the oblivion of decades past.   So I was thrilled to find one, unused and complete, in a large lot of dealer inventory.

EFFECT:  The effect is great: ten cards, two sets of five, each card bearing a different color design on its face. The spectator tries to match face up colors to the facedown set of cards. In the end, the cards change to read C-O-L-O-R-B-L-I-N-D, with one letter per card.

This is new-old dealer stock, so in unused condition, complete with cards, Q-card instructions, wallet, outer vinyl package sleeve -- exactly as issued 40+ years ago.    (There was no full instruction sheet issued with this packet trick, just the Q-card.   This is why the vinyl sleeve was printed with the name of the trick, since there was no instruction sheet to call out the name as in most E&W packaging).  

Very hard packet item to find now.     Collector alert!

CONDITION NOTES:  new-old dealer stock, so in unused condition, complete with instructions, cards, Q-card, wallet, outer vinyl package sleeve -- exactly as issued 40 years ago.
