Strong enough to appear in Nick Locapo’s Magic Castle Act, Matt Mello’s Deck to Shoe kicks hard and drives audiences wild.

Here’s what happens:

A signed card is lost in the deck, then it vanishes and appears underneath the Magician’s shoe. The audience can pick the card up and it is the actual signed card. The performer offers to repeat the miracle only to have the deck vanish from their hands and reappear inside an ungimmicked shoe. The audience can remove the deck from the shoe themselves if they want. This is a lay person killer.

Deck to Shoe is an incredible trick on its own that gets huge reactions, but it’s also the perfect closer to any ambitious card routine. Taught in detail by Nick Locapo, you’ll learn all the secrets to destroy your audience with this miracle. Best of all there are no arts and crafts or crazy gimmicks to install in your clothes. You’ll be able to start performing this immediately.

misleading trailer Report this review

I wish I would have listened to the other negative review before purchasing this. Another misleading trailer where penguin edits it in such a way to make it look more magical than it really is. Trailers should be uncut so we can see exactly what the spectator sees.

So the concept of the trick really Interested me. But after spending ten dollars for this method is disappointing. It’s very easy and the reason I bought this trick was because I was fooled. But when I saw the how it actually worked I realized I was fooled because they cut out the key moment when the move happens. Over all it was a great trick and I will eventually use it at some point but, I wish it was not 10$ for the most simple explanation ever. If you really want it then buy it but if you are so so I don’t suggest it. I have no disrespect to Matt Mello. He has created many great things in the past and hopefully in the future.

What can i say? After downloading i sat and watch the explanationvideo with Nick. My smile only got bigger and bigger when realizing the simplicity of it. This trick is going directly into my show, i would say its would work both at stage and in the street. Its 10 dollar, its 4 rides in the subway, i think this trick will take you longer than that.

Need good misdirection Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 22nd, 2020
Is it as good as the tailor? No... Is it still good? Yes... But there is a part not shown in Trailer that would give it away. I understand why it wasn't.... Would l have bought this if I did see that part? Probably so because in the right hands (or feet?) the misdirection required will still make this a good trick. I just don't know if I'm there yet... Perhaps with practice.

Not the best opener, but one of the best card closers, ever! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 9th, 2021
Excellent effect! just what I've been looking for as an alternative to some shoe things I've done before. although I definitely recommend using it as a closer to some other card effects instead of just a 1 or 2 phase effect. While they dump out the cards, the misdirection is perfect for loading something else into the shoe, but like I said, I'd rather close with this and move on to a different prop, like coins, etc. Also, you could possibly use this as a heckler killer. do an omni deck routine and just be ready for when someone says "where the cards at, then?" In my shoe, bozo. Lol

I think this effect hits so hard because of the distance to the floor. To them, the card under glass type effect is entertaining, but possible. This to them is just.. impossible. 5 stars.

Teaching is great like always with Nick. Met him a few times in person and as you would hope, just very down to earth and easy to get along with and it comes through in his teaching on these vids.

One complaint... please raise the price to 50 bucks so there's less people performing this gem. Lol

Sorry, easily not cool Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 16th, 2022
Hey, I like the humor of the trick, almost a parody of the "something to 'impossible location.'"

But having a spectator pick up a card from under your shoe on the street -- and then dumping a deck of cards from the shoe -- on the street-- it's a trick for the living room or party room and even then for a group of friends. And clean shoes not well-worn sneakers.

Two years ago, I would have added: be ready for gasps and a rush for the plastic bottle of handwashing liquid.

In February 2022, you still might hear "yuck!" Or "ew!"
And I would agree.
I guess in 2022, I'd say pick the right time and place and audience.
I definitely wouldn't have a spectator pick up cards from the street or bottom of my shoe.

Deck to Shoe Matt Mello Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 28th, 2020
This is a routine YOU will perform.
I saw the performance & immediately worked out how I would do it & I was correct after being in magic many, many years BUT the devil is in the details & it’s the details that really make this a 100 percent WORKER of the highest order.
You have 3 massive kickers.
1- the SIGNED card appears under your shoe
2- the DECK vanishes & all you have left is their signed card
3-the DECK is now in your shoe.

That’s 3 MEGA effects that are easy for your audience to remember & easy for YOU to perform & get this THERE are no gimmicks
This is a beautifully routined masterpiece by Matt & Nick does a great job teaching it
I Will use this a lot & so will you

Wow! This is really practical actually! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 1st, 2021
I've seen quite a few reviews saying it's frustrating that you don't get to see the whole trailer. That complaint is so stupid! If a spectator were to describe this trick it would be the exact same as the trailer looks! Maybe the trick doesn't work for you, and that's totally fine, but to dismiss it just because it doesn't work like you wanted isn't a very good reason. Sorry, not trying to be rude. At the end of the day if you bought this trick because you didn't know how it worked and they show you how it works, isn't that enough! You didn't come up with the idea so it doesn't matter if you thought the method would be different. ANYWAY, this is a great trick! It is pretty darn sneaky and totally works in real life. You'll probably be kicking yourself at how easy it is! I will definitely use it.
