Put the edge back into your magic with Zak Mirzadeh's Backstab!

Zak Mirzadeh's Backstab is the most impossible "Stab To Your Card" trick ever! Your spectator selects a card and loses it in the pack. With nothing more than your trusty pocket knife (or your spectator's pocket knife) - you stab straight to their selection for a miraculous "Card At Number" effect! Did we mention the card can also be SIGNED! No blocks of cards, no dupes, and nothing added or taken away! Backstab takes an impossible skill and makes you a master within minutes. With Backstab, you'll never "cut" to a card in the same way again!

Includes gimmicks that allow you to perform the impossible
Includes over an hour of expert instruction taught by Zak Mirzadeh
Gimmicks are ready to perform right out of the box, but customization to any custom deck is easy!
No forces or dupes - selection can be signed!
Requires no difficult sleights
No large blocks of cards
Knife can be yours or even borrowed!

« on: September 06, 2018, 07:47:19 AM »
This campaign is in it's FINAL DAYS !!!!!   :D

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2053593765/metropol-playing-cards-the-next-deck?ref=ig



Mike says, "The Metropol NEXT decks will be printed by the Expert Playing Card Company (EPCC) at their factory in Taiwan (the same factory that Legends Playing Card Company used to print the original Metropol LUX decks).  The cards will feature EPCC's smooth handling Classic Finish, perfect for all your cardistry and shuffling needs.

This will be my first time printing with EPCC.  I've been working with their team over the last few months and I have full confidence in their ability to deliver a great deck of cards. EPCC has developed a reputation for producing excellent quality decks and they come highly recommended from other playing card designers I've spoken to.  I'm excited to be working with them to produce the Metropol NEXT deck."

Benjamin Pratt, the co-owner of As Is, met the founders of AnyoneWW while attending Cardistry-Con in Brooklyn a few years ago.
Anyone Worldwide has since released a new (SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE) deck of playing cards in collaboration with As Is NYC (a modern craft beer bar in NYC)
The deck sports a custom red card back and Ace of Spades depicting a lit bomb that looks a lot like a free clip art graphic

MAGIC REVIEW: The Seer deck from Liam Montier

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErWSB39Knzk

An ingenious, custom made gaffed Bicycle deck that will allow you to perform direct mind reading miracles!!!

THE SEER DECK is a sneaky weapon that will give you huuuuuuuge power over your audience. This ingenious, updated version of the famed Koran Deck is much more deceptive than its predecessor and can even be spread in front of your spectators. It appears to be a normal deck - and yet, when a spectator thinks of a card you can EASILY REVEAL WHICH ONE!!! And, even better, you can achieve this with absolutely no sleight of hand.

Use THE SEER DECK for Liam's show stopping two phase mentalism routine... or just employ THE SEER DECK as a powerful utility for your own ideas and routines.

NO SLEIGHT OF HAND
NO ROUGH AND SMOOTH
NO PEEKS, BREAKS OR GLIMPSES
NOT THE SAME CARD EACH TIME

$25 - available in red back or blue back

external link review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy50oao-Vuw

A prediction written on a Post-it Note is shown to your spectator. It reads, "YOU WILL SELECT THE 4 OF DIAMONDS."

The Post-it Note is stuck on the card box. The deck is removed from the box. You claim that they will select the exact card that is written on the Post-it Note.

A card is selected and shown. It does not match your prediction. It's not even close! LET'S SAY THEY SELECTED THE 2 OF CLUBS.

The Post-it Note with the WRONG CARD written on it is peeled from the box. The magician slowly waves the Post-it Note over their selection.

The Post-it Note is now handed to the spectator. It now reads, "YOU WILL SELECT THE 2 OF CLUBS." THE WRITTEN PREDICTION ACTUALLY CHANGES!!

THE METHOD FOR THIS IS TERRIFIC.

KEY POINTS:
SPECTATOR CAN KEEP THE POST-IT NOTE
WORKS IN ANY LANGUAGE
IT USES A REGULAR POST-IT
RESETS IN 2 SECONDS
A DIFFERENT CARD EVERYTIME
THE SWITCH IS INVISIBLE
POST IT NOTE CAN BE SIGNED

External video review link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtM_NIATcgE

Here's a brilliant, marked deck utilizing the Bicycle Maiden Back, which is very classic and common in cards. It is made and printed by USPCC, and uses the classical Bicycle paper.

The mark reveals three things:

The number and pips for this card
The number and pips for the last card
The position of this card in the whole deck
At the same time, it adopts the Tamariz Stack, which is the most familiar system, and lets you get started quickly.

Magic Review: The Show by Woody Aragon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iIeX7WeLxo

Woody Aragon is a master magician, and he understands the necessary components of a powerful act. Drama, variety, and a natural build are required to get people to leap to their feet. In The Show, you will possess all of these components, with each trick setting up the next. You'll learn:

The Blushing Card: In a blue deck, any named card changes to a red backed card, and then a second named card changes.

Card at Name: A spectator names any card and then their name is spelled, one card per letter. The named card is discovered on the last letter.

Top or Bottom: A named card is not there... and then it is!

Rub-A-What?: A quick routine of visual transformations and appearances.

"Eish" of Diamonds: A comedy routine with a surprise ending.

Texas Hold 'em: A Poker exhibition full of twists and surprises.

Mnemo-fry: One of Woody's signature effects. The deck is shuffled by a spectator and he picks a packet of cards. The magician guesses every card.

TeleTriumph II: A whole act in itself. Woody has combined several effects into one long, astounding routine.

Running time: 2 hours 47 minutes

In this effect a card is chosen and clearly ripped in half, without any cover or hiding anything palmed.  Each half is signed, one by the spectator and the other by the magician.

Without any cover or special moves the signed halves are restored BACKWARDS and PIVOTED against each other, making the restored cards a wonderful souvenir that the spectators will never forget.

Comes complete with the very special material, enough for 60 performances.

Video review:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKBRMu1qbHQ

So how do you drive the most skeptical of your spectators crazy? Easy! Take out these two cards and this little straw.

With just these three items you're ready to fool your audience!

Remember these points:

Only the two cards and the straw are used - nothing else.
Self-working, no manipulation
No suspicious moves, everything takes place right under the spectators' eyes.
The straw holds everything firmly in place, and yet...
The illusion seems completely real; you will not believe how convincing it is!
The "gimmick" is invisible and 100% reliable

DVD CONTENTS:

3-2-1 Dunbury: A reworking of the Dunbury Delusion with a surprise finish. Inspired by John Carey and Gary Jones.

Business Card Collectors: An in-the-hands Collectors routine that leaves your spectators with your business card.

Bank Change: One selected card appears printed on a bank card. The writing is then transformed to reveal a second selection. Inspired by Kieron Johnson.

Streamlined Decompression: A hyper-visual splitting routine.

Vertical Hypno: A pseudo hypnosis routine in which a court card visually changes to a selected card and back again. Pure eye candy!

Your Name, My Business: A gag, a visual transformation, and a great giveaway. A real worker that leaves the spectator with your contact information.

BONUS FEATURES

Backfire Sandwich: A two-phased sandwich routine with a kick-back ending.

Vertical Lie Detector: A commercial Lie Detector effect. A selected card is found under impossible circumstances and as a kicker, you produce the mates of the selection. Inspired by Aldo Colombini.

(Multiple Selection Routine) Revelation: A masterclass on a routine that Daniel has performed thousands of times. The control sequence, numerous hard-hitting revelations, and the psychology all come together to make this effect a true powerhouse.

Revelation by Andi Gladwin: An unpublished bonus idea that allows you to add another kicker to the routine. This alone is worth the price of the project and has gotten me higher tips and more gigs.
