Deck Reviews! / Deck Review - King's Game by Bonafide Playing Cards

CHESS: The Game of the Kings, fully depicted in a 100% Custom deck of Playing Cards Created by Bona fide Playing Cards

King's Game playing cards is a custom poker size deck that pays tribute to the timeless game of chess: its figures, its moves and its players (the Kings). With a medieval inspiration, this deck focuses on the figures that are represented by each chess piece: king, queen, bishop, knight, rook and pawn.

The tuck boxes have a very luxurious look, befitting the kingly status of the game they are about, with the Black deck using gold and black foil, while the White deck uses silver foil.

Consisting of a Black deck (with white cards) and a limited edition White deck (with black cards).

Printed in China

With ease transpose one ace and four kings in your spectator's hands and END CLEAN (no deck or palming.) Audience tested for 4 years in Michael's professional repertoire. He gets gasps of amazement from his audiences and you will too!

5 Routines:

One for Four: One Ace and four kings transpose right in your spectator's hands!
No King Left: Aces and kings change places and a kicker where the kings turn blank in your spectator's hands!
Chosen: A chosen card is revealed using the kings which morph into aces, then one ace into the selection!
Signed: The kings morph into aces, then one ace transposes with a signed card leaving the last ace where the signed card was in full view. Great follow up to an Ambitious Card routine!
Twist: Vernon's classic "Twisting The Aces" with simple moves and kicker finale where kings turn into aces!

Bonus: Radical Aces, using Anomaly with the "Radical Change" to morph two cards at once.

Run Time: 90 minutes

"Anomaly is an incredible card transposition for the real world. It's one thing to have two cards transpose, but Michael ups the ante with a Four for One transposition. Four Kings change places with a single Ace under stringent conditions. Not only that, but you get four additional routines using the same gaffs. Everything provided is top quality and the 90 minute instructional video is terrific. If you add one new card trick to your working repertoire this year, you can't go wrong with Anomaly!"  - Marc DeSouza

Who says a visual puzzle can't be an amazing trick? Mimic is a visual card effect that can be performed beyond language barriers.

The premise is simple. Tear any pips off any card, restructure its molecules, and visually turn that little corner into a full-size card that you desire, IN YOUR SPECTATOR'S HAND.

It's visual, it's illogical, and it fools people so bad, it makes them cry for help!

Mimic comes with a professionally manufactured gimmick that will last you a lifetime. Fool them now, worldwide.

The Butterfly Playing Cards Black series design is based on the original artwork by magician and artist Stefan Eriksson.

It's a challenge to create a deck that is complex enough to hide marked cards without being too irregular and cluttered, but the Butterfly Deck was designed with an exceptional amount of care and thought, fulfilling its function while displaying a beautiful design. Each card is edge-marked in two ways, allowing you both to locate any card in the deck via the two-way edge marks and to spot any reversed card using one-way marks on either the backs or faces.

The original Butterfly Playing Cards (Red and Blue) were created back in December 2016 with a crowdfunding campaign which raised $59,097 and sold 14,000 decks.

NOW - they are being re-released in BLACK and with GILDED EDGES on KICKSTARTER - follow the link below

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ondrejpsenicka/butterfly-playing-cards-black/description

They are to be printed by Cartamundi at their Turnhout headquarters, the only factory in the world with the technology and strict quality control to absolutely guarantee 0,5 mm registration in cutting.

In the bag, you will also find a strawberry sticker to add to your collection and something new that has been asked for since Peelers V1!

Magical Cardistry Bonanza / Magic Review - Anarchy by Ryan Goh
« on: July 03, 2019, 04:49:02 PM »
video review

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHCDNBEQbGA

The audience FREELY selects a card, remembers it and signs it, then places it back into the deck. The deck is then clearly shown to be shuffled into a complete mess, face up into face down. At the snap of your fingers, you are able to instantly turn every single card face down except for their selection, leaving it to be the only face-up card in the entire deck. Just when they think the effect is over, with NO EXTRA MOVEMENT, you turn over the deck and reveal that the entire deck has been restored to new deck order. As a final kicker, their selection is restored to its EXACT location in new deck order.

Unlike existing triumph effects, Anarchy allows you to show both the front AND the back of the deck throughout the trick, from beginning to end.

In the instructional video, Ryan also teaches a completely sleight-free variation of the classic Triumph effect, where the restoration of the deck is done during the display of a ribbon spread, visually turning over every face-up card one by one, without squaring the deck.

To ease the workings of the effect and for the best experience of the user, we have also taken the extra efforts to produce Anarchy in premium bee stock and air-cushion finish. In addition, Anarchy is also traditionally cut.

Right in the beginning, you push a single playing card into the participant's pocket without showing it to him. Then you ask him to check the playing card against his date of birth, which he does. He will be shocked to see that it is exactly the same card that he removes from his own pocket.

As a nice kicker, even a word against his date of birth is impossibly predicted by you and you also explain the hidden meaning of that word.

Most likely you will get that gig.

No sleights, no stooges and no pre show. No stack, no gaff playing cards and in fact no playing cards at all. No peeks, no tears, no impressions, no threads, no electronics, no PA or BA. The prediction is totally open and ungimmicked. This is simple, easy, clean and direct. Everything you will need is included here and you can start performing right away.

This includes physical gimmicks and an online PDF, which can be instantly downloaded.

Also included are several alternate revelation ideas.

The Mystery Box is a classic plot that most magicians have in their repertoire. Having a freely selected, signed card, appear miraculously in an isolated container is a plot that is easy to follow, and it drives magicians and laypeople crazy. Adrian Vega, the creator of SCAANDAL, has taken this concept to the extreme by developing a Mystery Box without a box! He has created the most organic version we have ever seen. All of the items in play make perfect sense and we guarantee that it will become a staple in card transportations and predictions. The switch is so invisible that not only is it fun to perform, but it will hold up on a TV set even if they use slow motion cameras!

Always ready to perform
Use it with billets, predictions, and any type of playing card, fully customizable
No elastics
Takes up little pocket space
Objects are organic in everyday situations
Gimmick is instantly reset and ready for next performance

VIDEO REVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2fOdeRy_-Q

You show 7 different cards with various drinks ranging from Vodka to White Wine. The spectator MENTALLY selects a drink of their choice, SHUFFLES the cards and places them face down on the table. You have NO idea what drink they are thinking of.

You then introduce a small bottle cap and ask the spectator to mentally spell out the letters of their drink, whilst you randomly move the bottle cap across several cards.

When they get to the last letter, they call out STOP.

You then state that it would be impossible if 'Your Drink', was actually under the bottle cap, to which they agree.

You turn over the bottle cap and it has the words, YOUR DRINK printed under the cap (sigh).

You then ask what drink they were MENTALLY thinking of and when the actual card is turned over, it is their DRINK!

Super easy to do
No reset
No moves

Deck Reviews! / Deck Review - Surfboard MARKED Playing Cards
« on: June 20, 2019, 07:49:57 AM »
video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8o2vSjVx-Q

"Live life your way, no matter what other people think."

Do you remember the Skateboard deck from 2017? The SURF actually comes from the same series of the same designer.
Every day many people seek the perfect spot for surfing, chase the perfect wave. With the SURF deck, you don't have to travel far and wide, all you need to do is let your imagination run wild!
The word ‘Surf’ is written in a laid-back style, evoking the easy-going feeling that you get on the beach during the sunset. Many little details are waiting for you to discover.

The back of the cards is specially modified for magicians, and the small marking helps them get twice the result with half the effort.

n the year 3000, artificial intelligence takes over the human race. A rouge rebellion warrior escapes from A.I enslavement and travels to a run down time traveling facility in hopes of saving the species. The NOC Corporation, a self built A.I. establishment now runs everything. The NOC3000X1's were the last deck of cards to ever be printed. It has now been transported back to the year 2019 with the simple message - keep the magic alive. The more we depend on technology, the less magical the world seems until one day all the magic will be gone.

WOW! Jerry's Nugget cards are BACK! from EXPCC

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gcjQXVqKnE

Originally printed in Cincinnati, Ohio, by the US Playing Card Company, these playing cards were made in 1970 for the Jerry's Nugget casino gaming tables. Once manufactured, they were driven to the Vegas casino via trucks, where they sat in storage for years. They never saw any real action in the casino & were ultimately sold one-by-one in the gift store. They sold out in 1999.

Magic Review - Polish Poker by Michal Kociolek https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyJ8kS-cT5Y

Deal the hand the spectator names... before he names it!

This could be a packet trick; but it is so much more. Not just a poker demonstration, but a real magical experience for the spectator.

The spectator only THINKS of a hand he wants and then can STOP the magician at five different cards. No chance that the magician would know which hand to deal or to force. The five chosen cards are exactly the hand he was thinking of.

This is our first release with online instructions, that have professional transcriptions (subtitles) in English, German, Japanese.

Includes a red back Phoenix Deck with standard indexes and a special set of gimmicks.

WRITE UP:

WH is one of the most influential brands in playing cards and cardistry area of Brazil, we not only just have one of the biggest playing cards store of the country. We have a blog about a lot of subjects of the cardistry world, where we already interviewed famous people like Jaspas, Virtuoso, Dimitri Arleri and others. In order to spread even more this art that we value so much, we decided to create the first deck for cardistry of Brazil, the WH Deck, which we released least year’s July in an event where we reunited cardists, magicians, and collectors. This time we are presenting the second version with a new design and a lot of improvements.



This time WH went even farther, we are design and working on the second edition of the deck since the launch of the first almost an year ago. The deck will be printed by USPCC, and will be made in partnership with Escape Time, a big company of Escape Rooms. WH Escape Time will enter in history as the second version of the first deck for cardistry of Brazil.



The design is minimalist and elegant, with WH Decks logo in the center, the borders are thin and doubled, which giver a nice effect while doing fans, that get stripped black and white. The faces of the cards are all personalized and enigmatic. The royale cards are also personalized, some of then have the drawings of the first deck, and others are standard, but all of them are designed with little details making the deck even more interesting. The cards will come in a order, the cyclical and mathematical order created by the magician Si Stebbins in 1898, that allows you to discover the exact position of each card in the deck.



The deck will be printed by USPCC, letting no doubts about its quality, The paper will be the standard, and it will have the famous air-crushing finish, besides receiving a treatment in the and where the WH Escape Time Deck will be pressed by a machine so the cards will be thinner than the standard.

TURN is just one of those tricks you have to see. So, stop what you're doing and watch the quick trailer--it's in the first few minutes of my review.

WHAT DOES IT COME WITH: You receive a set of specially gimmicked cards and an easy-to-follow video tutorial.

SUMMARY: In short, this trick with four cards is an ADVENTURE. Cards change from blue to red to green to multicolored, and the faces change from blank to Queens to Jokers. But it's the smooth-as-silk handling that sets this packet trick apart. Dare we say, it might be the most efficient, amazing packet trick we've ever seen. It is certainly our VERY favorite Peter Pellikaan creation to date. Usually in tricks of this kind, there are necessary adjustments. You have to change the count you do, or move a card from top to bottom, or do a secret reversal, or take a card out, or add one in. GONE! In TURN, the handling looks identical in each phase, and one phase flows seamlessly into the next.

One of the most crucial ways to make card magic strong, is to ensure your spectator understands their chosen card is 100% unique.

More often than not, when magicians ask a spectator to sign a card, they worry about ruining your deck, so you won't be able to play card games with it anymore.

From Shahrul Nizar in Malaysia, SansMinds brings you the perfect trick that takes advantage of this premise.

Introducing, Stick To It.

Not only can you make a card unique during your performance, but no one will ever have to worry about ruining your cards again.

It's visual, practical, and the gimmick is ready whenever you are.

Finally, you can perform a unique effect with a spectator's chosen card, without costing you a card every time.
