I am disappointed with the quality of the deck.
They are not cut evenly with each other.
The edges look like they were just painted white.
They are too white. It doesnt look
natural at all; suspicious looking.
The white paint bled over the edges and look sloppy.
On
some edges, the white paint came off already.
The corners are not rounded the same as a
regular deck - meaning if you take one transparent card and put it in a regular deck, it will act
like a short card.
They are not scratch resistant. Fresh out of the box, some of the cards
already had significant scratches (i.e., not the result of casual handling).
I like the
idea behind ia transparent deck, but am surprised with the production quality.

This effect, WOW! I bought int directly from Vanishing Inc. I was a bit skeptical at first - unhappy
with how it looked but I decided to take this to the streets and I can happily say that THIS is my
closer at the restaurants. THIS effect brings me the tips. I use Shawn Farquhar's deck switch that
he teaches on his Penguin Lecture and I promise you, it is lethal. I swear it can cause the elderly
to need medical attention.
I agree, stronger than omnideck. I have been using this for
just under a year now - I definitely got my moneys worth! So will you. ADD TO CARD NOW!!!

I personally think this COULD be stronger than the classic Omni deck! They can push the card in and
the revelation is absolutely brilliant. When you spread through to find their card, it almost looks
like their card is slowly materializing!! Really like it and Josh Jay has some helpful tips as well
on the DVD.

I think it’s a great product. They need to be buffed out a little bit to be more smooth. I just
rubbed both sides of each card on my close up mat. That little bit if fabric cleans it up and makes
each card glide smoother in hands.

I was a little hesitant getting the Phantom Deck by Joshua Jay because I had read some negative
reviews regarding the quality of the deck; not being evenly cut, corners don't match, etc.... but
these must have been older reviews, because the Phantom Deck I received was beautifully produced!
The edges/corners look just like a real deck, and each card is perfectly cut the same size
and shape. It's also super easy to perform with, which I have done twice now, and I'm actually
surprised at the reactions I get... people are genuinely shocked when the "real deck" turns into a
see through deck of cards!
I was going to take one star away because the cards do get
scratched up very easily, but this doesn't affect the performance at all; people are just too
baffled by the magic that happened in their hands to notice little tiny scratches. So 5 Stars from
me!

The Phantom Deck by Joshua Jay is great.
I have the Omni Deck and I've used to use it as a segue
trick. Transitioning from one routine to another. But now i ONLY use the Phantom Deck.
My deck
switches are smoother because I can do a slight spread, which is impossible with the Omni Deck.
The audiance prefers the Phantom Deck because when they realize all the cards have changed to
clear cards, they can rifle through the cards. AND THEY'RE AMAZED AT EACH CARD!
I love the
Phantom Deck.

A positively masterful way to perform card magic. Real easy to do and has a mind-blowing effect on
the spectators. Already a show stopper in my act.

A poorly manufactured deck was received. About ten cards were stuck together at the edges and had to
be pryed apart. One car was cut
Incorrectly and looked like a card from a stripper
deck….unusable …And to top it off, one card had a ton of frayed plastic on the border and completely
unusable. I threw those 2 cards away. Also, it looked like some cards had grease smudges on them.
The poor quality won’t stop me from using it as planned, but very disappointing to receive such a
poorly manufactured product. My buying experience of this product is similar to going to a car
Dealership and paying way too much for an inferior car. I’m being generous at the 3 stars I
rated it at, only because I will still use it, for a routine idea I had seen on DEX. Hopefully the
video for this product will add some type of value.
