Color Divination Rods, Psychic Color Sticks, Transmental Gemsation - Viking
The Effect
The performer displays a solid Brass Tube, and several different colored aluminum rods. A spectator places any of the rods in the tube, closes it, and hands it over to the performer. The other rods are concealed by the spectator. The performer "feels the vibrations from the tube", and reveals the color of the rod in the tube. The apparatus can be examined, and the effect repeated as often as you like.

Review
Comes complete with instructions and a Royal Blue fabric carrying case with a zipper. Each of the 5 rods are made from solid aluminum and are anodized various colors. Each rod is Approximately 2 & 3/8" in length and 1/4" in diameter. The tube is made from solid Brass.
I bought mine for $21.00 a few years ago, and I love it. It's obviously a great mentalism effect. There is a bit of memorization required, but its well worth it. I always carry it with me in my pocket where ever I go. If your into mentalism I think you should definetly consider buying this trick. It's so portable, you can take it anywhere.
I'm not sure if all the versions use the same concept but the concept for the one I own, the Color Divination Rods, is easy to master.
I didn't bother with any links to retailers' sites because its not that hard to find. Just visit your favorite online magic store and type any of the three names in the sites search box.
Overall
This is a great effect for any occasion, entirely self working and requires no resetting.
