Hey there, boys and girls...  ;)  I have a special offer for those of you out there who are both card collectors and prestidigitators.

I've recently acquired some specialized tools that allow me to make "custom alterations" to a deck of cards using "trimming" and "pegging" techniques, converting it in many different, interesting and unique ways.  A professional-grade stripper deck, nearly undetectable to the naked eye?  Or maybe one that's stripped or beveled in other, non-traditional ways?  How about a marked deck that can be read while blindfolded?  Or a deck where you can cut immediately to specific cards of your choice?  These are some of the gaffed-deck concepts I can create for you.

Contact me and perhaps I can help you make the gaffed deck of your dreams into a reality.  I can "tailor" a readily-available deck such as standard Bicycles or Bees which I can provide, or I can make "alterations" to a custom or vintage pack of cards that you provide.  Contact me by PRIVATE MESSAGE for more details and pricing.

Need a suit altered to fit you?  Take it to a tailor.
Need a pack of cards "altered" to fit you?  Take it to the Deck Tailor!

Ask about my personal favorite: the Short Blind Wizard deck!

Update - I've starting making a very new deck modification, something I can create out of most types of decks currently on the market.

Imagine you have a marked deck.  But it's not just any marked deck...  You don't only know the top card of the deck and that's it.  You can determine the BOTTOM card as well - even when the deck is thoroughly shuffled, by you or by a spectator!  It's wholly not dependent on any kind of stack order.  Better still, you can read the top or bottom cards WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED, BLINDFOLDED!

And did I mention that I can make it as a stripper as well?  Pro-grade?  Stripped either on the long side or the short side?  I personally like short-edge strippers - it allows you to pull cards and cut to cards without having to resort to a Hindu shuffle.  Hindu shuffles are great in India but are rarely seen outside of a magic routine in North America.  Short-edge strippers allow you to use the very-common-in-North-America overhand shuffle movement to pull cards out of the pack.

If this sounds like the kind of deck you'd like to own for your magic arsenal, get in touch with me!

Remember the deck I described previously...?

Well, Murphy's Magic Supplies loved it - and placed an order for 150 of them!  The order will be filled later this month, with the following breakdown:

50 blue Bicycle "Standard" Rider Backs
50 red of the above
12 blue Tally Ho Original Circle Backs
38 red of the above

Expect to see these appearing in magic stores near you sometime in late winter/early spring of this year!
What are they called?  Blind Wizard Decks!  Yes they are the same Blind Wizard Decks that received an awesome review from Ekaterina Magic on YouTube about two weeks ago.  See the video here:

This still around don? :) How you been?
Starting to get better...have to stay dedicated...can't lose any more cards in the middle of a trick.  Literally, completely lost a card.

I’m still trying to figure out how I missed this post from last month! Yes, it’s still around. Murphy’s Magic Supplies placed a second purchase order for my Blind Wizard deck. I am now registered as a business in my county under the name Don Boyer Magic and I have a website at http://www.thedecktailor.com/ where I keep my customers updated on new products. I recently acquired a new tool that will allow me to start offering even more options for gaffed decks and cards.

New products, hopefully coming soon to Murphy's Magic Supplies!

The BLIND deck series has some new additions...

The original Blind Wizard Deck was popular - a fine-cut, end-stripped deck with tactile markings on the faces and backs.

Now, it has some company!

The Blind Wizard Deck, Traditional Edition - edge-stripped like a traditional stripper deck, instead of end-stripped.
The Blind Corner Short Deck - one corner is re-rounded to 5 mm instead of the usual 3 mm (about ⅛"), allowing you to cut to a chosen card or even stop on it during a dribble!
The Blind Breather Deck - using offset crimping on the entire deck, you can immediately cut to a given card after shuffling and the method is completely concealable from spectators!

All three new products are equipped with the BLIND marking system, read by touch from either the faces or the backs of the cards, allowing you to perform card miracles you wouldn't have thought possible otherwise.

Check out http://www.thedecktailor.com/ for more info and to place an inquiry!
