A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma... The Infinity Deck.

On the surface, a simple collection of pictures but bubbling underneath is a powerful deck of cards that entwines secrets with mysterious principles.
Craig Petty & Lloyd Barnes officially team up for their very first release together!
Widely recognized as two of the most creative magicians alive today, they bring you a barn burner ground breaking new project that will rattle the very belief systems of your audience.

With The Infinity Deck you can perform over 20 impossible tricks straight out of the box... but due to the deck's open nature, you will be inspired to create infinite amounts of your own brand new and unique magic tricks!

These are just a few of the routines you perform:

  • Instantly tell a spectator what picture they are imagining.
  • Four participants each shuffle a pile of cards and think of ANY card in their hand. The magician can name all four different cards... he can even be out of the room!
  • Take half of the deck and have THE AUDIENCE shuffle them face up into face down. From one side, they create the name of a playing card, from the other, a number. A regular deck of cards, that's been in full view is opened and dealt down by the audience... the exact card is at the exact number!
  • A pile of cards is shuffled multiple times and laid face up by the audience. They appear to be ordinary pictures on the cards until you point out that the images are homonyms and all of the cards in order spell out a phrase... that is a printed prediction that's been written on the box from the very beginning!
One more thing...

All of the above tricks are built into ONE routine!

FAQ's:
  • Designed by Phill Smith
  • Genius fully marked system.
Marked in stack order.
  • 25 cards hide the Koran Principle in plain sight.
  • Inspired by real decks of improv aid cards.
  • 10 homonym cards.
  • 17 "random cards" that can be used to make multiple playing card values and numbers.
As you've come to expect from any Craig or Lloyd project, The Infinity Deck tutorial is 6 hours long and contains so much more valuable information than just the 20 trick explanations.

If you've ever checked out either of the works before or this is your first foray in to magic, the Infinity deck really does have something for everyone. It's perfect for beginners and professionals as the majority of the tricks are almost-self working yet get reactions that are normally reserved for only the very best professional magicians.

One Deck of Cards.
Two Prolific Minds.
Infinite Mystery.

Love it!"

- SIMON LIPKIN

Great Product but Not Perfect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 8th, 2024
First of all, let me say that I find this to be an awesome and creative product. What a fantastic way to refresh a classic system of magic.

Having said that, I reserve 5 stars for the very best products out there, and this comes just shy of that. Having now performed it a few times live, let me elaborate the good and not so.

The good:
-the front designs are beautiful and almost flawless in my opinion.
-The box is well designed and looks super legit.
-The marking system is close to invisible, BUT I will say I prefer how Evoke or Nyx are marked. These are a little more obvious, and I would have liked the "indifferent" cards to have unique markings as well.
-The classic Koran routine is even better with pictures than cards!
-The main routine taught is excellent EXCEPT for the finale (IMO of course)

The bad:
-I wish these specialty decks were printed in plastic. These are not practical for walkaround just because of how fast they'll get wrecked, especially with all the dealing procedure that's done in the main routine.
-Again, the markings come up a tad short vs. Evoke and others.
-The main routine's finale where the homonym cards are used is, in my opinion, pretty weak and problematic. First, spectators ALWAYS question the "you" and "choose" cards, and since they come at the end, it kills a lot of momentum. There really should have been better cards chosen, like "ewe" (ie a sheep) and "pick" (ie an ice pick or something). The audience is smart and WILL think its odd even if they dont say anything. Second, having obvious "magic" cards in the deck tips off the fact that its a trick deck (not to mention the box reveal). Thus, all the other routines suddenly fall under fire. The ACAAN (which is great) and the first phase all suddenly look suspect. So while most of the main routine is strong, I recommend ditching the last phase completely. Those last few cards should have been used for a different, subtler, effect.

Overall: I do think its a good product deserving of the marketing hype. It has flaws that can be addressed in how you routine it. I still think SNAPS is the better picture deck but this is a close second or third.

I'll be updating this later, after I've performed it into the ground as I've barely had it a day and can't resist performing different effects for any customer that will let me.

The deck this is inspired by in many different forms is something I've gotten a lot of mileage out of over the past 5 or so years. My feelings are mixed, as now one of my best buried secrets is front and center, but I am also incredibly happy that others will see how deadly this principle can be. Don't sleep on this effect, as the tools given can be a reputation-maker in the hands of a beginner, a magician, or a seasoned hobbyist.

Obviously, Craig Petty is one of the foremost minds in revitalizing killer concepts and squeezing out their maximum potential; this is no different. On top of that, the involvement of Lloyd Barnes, David Jonathan, and Phil Smith gives you damn near a Mount Rushmore of modern effect producers. I wish I could afford a brick, as I will 100% be using this effect for the rest of my life.

So simple, clever, my brain is on fire with ideas.BTW I am only a hobbiest so im sure my review doesn't carry much weight. That being said, this relieves all my fears and lets me work on presentation and performance. Gets me comfortable in front of ppl. Something I struggle with when doing "tricks". Thanks Craig, Thanks Lloyd Thanks Penguin. This is perfect for someone like me who needs flight time in front of ppl.

A Quality Effect! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 21st, 2024
Another ingenious effect by Craig Petty and Lloyd Barnes! I love the fact that all the effects contained in this deck use innocent looking picture cards rather than a regular deck of cards. As an additional feature, both men teach other card manipulations like false counts, false shuffles, etc through their extensive tutorials. Considering all this, the deck is a bargain for the price. I'm satisfied.

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 19th, 2024
To hear these two very capable magicians talk about the art work that went into the back of the cards, you'd think they were praising Leonardo DaVinci for the Mona Lisa. I have pretty decent eyes, sometimes enhanced with strong cheaters for extra difficult , barely detectable print, and throw in a magnifying glass for extra measure, and I STILL could not read those numeric symbols.
I have bought quite a number of Craig Petty's effects, but this one is absolutely impossisble. I use memdecks frequently, and about the only saving grace with this one is that I won't have any trouble memorizing the faces and the numbers. I have shown this deck to a number of laypeople, told them exactly where to look and they squint and stare. I think the graphics are just plain awful.

Another great CraigPetty Project Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 17th, 2024
I’ve gotten both “Evoke” and “Mind Blox” this year. This adds yet another option what I consider my “arsenal” of non-ESP options. I love having options to demonstrate something intimate and personal that seems so impromptu. Like his other projects this isn’t necessarily meant to be used alongside other tricks.
The excellent video instruction is another mammoth collection of information that you can pour over at your leisure. You get a (killer) base presentation and then the options become limitless. I would have preferred more Lloyd Barnes, but that’s a small thing.

Again, one of the main reasons I decided to purchase this trick, was the lengthy explanation video on exactly what was incorporated with the Infinity deck and how it can be used. Like Snaps, and MindBlox, this deck isn’t a single trick, but a utility that can be used in several routines. There are a few negatives for me, but the pros far outweigh the cons and that’s why I gave it five stars. No one ever says anything about the packaging, but for me, the box that some of these tricks arrive in, as spectacular as they are, seem to be a bit overkill. The packaging is no longer needed once the deck is removed (other than the address and password required to see the stored online instructional.) I know the packaging costs money, so my point is, while it may look good on a shelf, or video trailer, I would rather lose the packaging and be able to purchase the item at a reduced rate instead. That’s me, though, others may disagree.

As for the trick itself, there are so many different routines that you can use this deck for, even if it is out of Koran Stack order, which by the way works brilliantly with pictures. Some routines are time-consuming, but the best is when you incorporate an ordinary deck, such as a CANN routine which then segues into effects with a standard deck.

If you are performing for a small group, you could easily do a half-hour, if you’re table hopping, then some of the routines, as good as they are, might be too long.

Some routines, such as spelling out the phrase on the box, are a bit of a stretch for me, so I don’t think I would use it, but the way they organized the pictures, you will quickly think of several routines that suit your style of performing within days of opening the tuck box.

Kudos to Craig Petty, Lloyd Barnes, and bonus routines by David Jonathan
