The Haunted Deck was the first effect that I purchased that I actually had to make myself. I had
been wanting to make an effect, and this one was perfect!! Construction of the gimmick was very
easy using mainly things I had around the house. I did need to go to the craft store to get one
thing, but I'm sure many magicians might already have this item.
After constructing the
gimmick I then started practicing with it. It's great!! This version of the Haunted Deck works
every time and is virtually undetectable. I even had one person watch me perform for several others
and she still wasn't able to see how it works.
Reactions to it are really strong. It
really looks as if the cards are moving with no manipulation by the magician. I really enjoy
performing it for people that I KNOW are superstitious...it seems to freak them out just a little
bit!!!
One recommendation...if you decide to make one, do yourself a favor and get one of
those old looking decks, like a Bicycle 808 Faded or something. The effect can really be sold based
on the idea that it's an old haunted deck.
A great effect that's easy to build and fun to
perform.
Stunning!!
