Magic Tricks

This deck is beautiful! 5 stars! I love the artwork of the court cards, even the pips look amazing! The backs have a beautiful mysterious look to them. My spectators always ask to see this awesome deck as soon as i pull it out. This is great, because it sets me up for a pretty awesome trick and history lesson about Houdini. I start by showing the Houdini king, and telling them a little history about Houdini. Then i describe his sub trunk trick (metamorphosis.) I tell them he would chain up his wife, Bess, and put her in a box. Then i say that he would stand on the box, pick up a sheet, show it empty on both sides (at witch point, i show my hand empty.) Then i perform a color change turning Houdini into a black queen. I usually finish by opening up the deck half way and doing a slide drop to show that Houdini is inside the deck. This storyline effect works so well because they don't even know you are performing a trick until it's already half way over. This deck provides so many other options for brief history lessons about the vaudeville era of magic as well. Hurry up and buy this deck, you wont regret it!!
