Magic Tricks

NO SPECIAL GLASSES NEEDED, NO UNFOCUSED Vision. The cards are marked, alright, but it's diabolical how it's done. There's no movie when you flip through, it actually helps a bit if you are a few feet away from the card you are trying to decipher. I don't mean across the room, but far enough to remove suspicion.

You do have to practice a bit. This deck is not festooned with the actual value and suit in bold print on the back, so you can use this deck with your sharp-eyed friends and they will have no clue (unless they see the add on Penguin). Run through the deck a few times, shuffle and cut (yes,they are nice to handle) and you'll get the hang of them.

But what I also like is the faces of the cards. The values and pips have a kind of origami look to them. The court cards are really unique too. Plus you get the blank face and double-backer, so you can still use the deck for many of your normal routines and keep the extra out for when you stuck with an emergency situation.

You'll want several of these neat decks!
