"This deck does so much work for you it deserves a Christmas bonus." - David Regal

"Spectrum is super cool! It is a combination of color changing deck, triumph, and kickback all in the same trick...I LOVE it!" - Cody S. Fisher

When R Paul Wilson tells you that this is the amazing color changing deck, he is not kidding around. Originally available as a very limited edition release, and now it is available on Penguin Magic for the first time.

This is Spectrum.

Spectrum is a fully gaffed multi-phase color-changing deck that not only makes these incredible visuals possible, but it also makes the effects simple to perform. Your audience members see a blue deck and think of any one of the cards. After mixing the cards face up into face down you find the card they are thinking of, only to surprise them by showing that the deck has sorted itself so the cards all face the same direction. In a one-two punch you then reveal that the card they thought of is the only red card in the deck and then immediately transform the deck from red to blue. Workers will love that you can fully spread the red deck on the table to show each and every card has changed color.

The precision gaffed deck makes the routine incredibly easy to do. Thanks to R Paul Wilson’s expert teaching your audience won’t believe their eyes. Learn the secret to altering color itself. Welcome to Spectrum.

Oddly overlooked Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 26th, 2020
This is a fun little deck that doesn't get the credit it deserves. The displays are clean and dead easy so you can really focus on the presentation and milk the effect. Another huge perk is that it doesn't need "upkeep" like some other decks after a while.

The instructions felt a little lacking - I thought there could've been more thought put into alternative presentations/handlings - but the provided routine works really well and gives you a lot to play off of.

For people who wanna throw something easy in their bag to pull out at the pub or something it's a no-brainer. I put mine in one of Stockman's socks (you win, Acar!) and say it's a fancy deck from Japan with cute packaging.

First Color Changing Deck Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 27th, 2019
My wife surprised me with this for Christmas and I love it! I've always wanted a color changing deck and was concerned with the sleights, how convincing would it be, ect. Even if you're a beginner, you can do this trick. Put the practice and passion into this, and you have a miracle that'll even fool yourself when you begin practicing.

Like many of you I have drawers full of decks, gimmicks, gaffs, unicorn dust,and lists of magical words. This however has gone straight into my routine. This is the rope-a-dope of card tricks. With a wonderful built in reset trick if your doing walk around. Beginners this is a wonderful deck to show off some easy card handling that you've worked on, weekend warriors this is a great trick to prove to your friends you can do more then just keg stands and choose a card any card, pros this will be an easy opener, close up, restaurant routine. I cant say enough. ♤Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur. Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur♧

Strong Effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 14th, 2021
Some context for my review:
I do magic in parties with friends and family, sometimes at bars when I am out.

This is a really strong effect. It can also be performed in the hands (standing).

The reset is about 10 to 20 seconds, it can be done in front of the audience with presentation excuse. I was thinking to add the stripper concept to this so that I can have an instant reset, but I don't think I want to do this trick twice in a row. But I see the benefit of instant reset for magicians that walk from table to table.

The deck is not examinable so if you use it as a closer (as the author) you can just ditch the deck. However I liked this effect as an opener. There are ways to use it as an opener (deck switch, using only the non gimmicked part of the deck) just be aware of your surrounding and be creative.

Overall would 100% recommend.

Fun to perform Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 1st, 2020
I love the audience's reaction when I perform this. Works great with a hidden deck switch. Mechanics are smooth and easy to use. Practice until you can comfortably spread a few cards and not get into the gaffed ones.

Amazing result and easy to perform Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 21st, 2024
I'm a complete newbie to magic having only been practicing a little each day for around a month. I bought this having seen some reviews and the trailer video.

I've just performed this for the very first time, and decided my test audience should be my teenage daughter. She thought I'd messed up when I went past her card during the Klondike shuffle part of the trick, but when I got to the finalé her reaction was "What the f**k?" which to me is good enough praise. If a clumsy amateur like me can pull this trick off after only a little practice anyone can.

If you're on the fence about this just go for it, it is well worth the money.

Paul's Spectrum is to say the least one of the most colorful pieces of card magic I've ever seen. It's simple and easy to do. Simply put, it's just pure fun to perform.
