Deck Reviews! / Deck Review - Antagon Playing Cards by Michele Spatola
« on: March 16, 2019, 08:32:01 AM »
video review

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRaI7xjVtUw

Antagon Royal Playing Cards, designed by Sixty Four Playing Cards in Italy, is a unique and elegant deck of playing cards for collectors, where the Court and the cards are all created with an original design and all Female.

It is a limited and numbered edition. Only 1900 manufactured. The tuck case is luxurious with embossing and gold foil. The numbered cards are delicate, and this worn background reinforces their medieval inspiration. The back shows a traditional intricate design made with natural shapes with a gold ink finish.

Brown was one of the earliest proponents of "naturalness" and "uniformity of action," and much of the material is as relevant and interesting today as it ever was. Amongst the many treasures created by Brown, you'll learn the trick that Andi Gladwin believes is one of the best-constructed card tricks of all time; the transposition of a genuinely freely thought-of card from one spectator to another. As you read each trick, you can use Andi's study guide to learn more details about the method. On occasion, you'll even learn extra handlings (including a previously-unpublished Dai Vernon effect).

Working with The Magic Circle, Andi Gladwin has reproduced this rare book, and combined it with a thorough analysis of Brown's life's work in a separate "study guide." The two books come packaged in a beautiful collector's slipcase, raising the standards of how a magic book should be produced.

Brown's book is a view to card magic of a different era. The book contains an equal mixture of parlor and close-up card magic: some easy, and some difficult.

Books like this come along all too rarely; a sought-after text, analyzed by an expert in that area. If you appreciate fine card magic, this two-book set deserves a place on your shelf.

Polyantha Playing Cards by Daniel Schneider was designed to resemble a classic casino deck for the card table. Completely black and white face cards with modified Courts give the deck a modern twist that you haven't seen before.

Due to the well-hidden, yet easy-to-read Black Roses Marking System, it's possible with a short glimpse to see which card you hold in your hand. With that feature, you are also able to perform mind reading effects very quickly, without any set-up. The borderless back design of the Polyantha Playing Cards creates an eye-catching pattern which especially comes into play during card spreads.

Two extra cards come with the Polyantha Playing Cards

Magical Cardistry Bonanza / Video review: Prison Deck by João Miranda
« on: February 20, 2019, 07:35:27 PM »
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8UsaA6jsOI

PRISON DECK is one of the best utility props to come along in years! It is so versatile, it can be used in a multitude of different ways to match your style of magic.

From comedy to mind control, PRISON DECK will always be ready to go.

Imagine, you are out performing, and you simply place the cards back into the card box. You hand the box to the spectator and ask him or her to remove the cards... Sounds easy, right?

Actually, it's impossible. Your spectators will try with all of their might to remove the cards from the box but as we said, it's impossible!

PRISON DECK is extremely well made and will last a lifetime. It's so easy to use and can be taken with you everywhere you go, as it takes up no extra space.

So, if you want to have a bit of comedy in your act, take someone's powers away, or have an ongoing bit in your act, PRISON DECK is for you!

Takes up no extra space
Extremely versatile
Super easy to use
Built to last
Ingenious method

100% custom playing cards Conceived by Kevin Reylek and designed by James Howells, the Composition Deck is styled after the iconic composition books that so many of us used in our childhood and still use today for jotting down ideas

Printed by Expert Playing Card Company.

Each of the custom faces has a background of ruled lines, as if they were drawn in a real notebook. The designs emulate classic spot and court cards, but look as though they were simply sketched out during study hall.

Right now it's a pre-order keep checking back with Penguin til they go live.

DMC himself uses the DMC ALPHAS Deck at every possible event, he even featured it in his Netflix series, Death by Magic.

Book Review: Principia by Harapan Ong and Vanishing Inc.

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

A beautiful collection of Harapan's card work over the last 10 years. But that's just MY opinion, what are other people in magic saying?

"Wonderful!"
- David Williamson

"My favorite magician."
- Stephen Long

"Buy it!"
- Tony Chang

"Buy the book."
- Kevin Ho

"The most beautifully constructed card magic I've ever seen."
- Henry Harrius

Singapore's Harapan Ong has caused an online sensation with his technical abilities. Videos began to circulate some years ago showing a pair of hands doing extraordinary things. His style is natural, unassuming, and soft. But Aces appear, selections transpose, and magical things just seem to happen in Harapan's hands.

Regular edition is $60

Deluxe Edition is $150

This collection of gaffed cards comes with a lot of fun effects: arrows, ESP cards, paw prints, lip prints, and cards great for color changes.
These new designs not only produce interesting magic to your effects, but also add some highlights to your magical routines!

For example:

Simplify: Take out a deck of cards or a few cards, and with only one wave, the deck or a few cards instantly turn into one card, clean and neat.

Combination: The magician places a King of Diamonds on the top of the 8 of Clubs, and slightly kneads them. The faces of the two cards become combined into one!

Prophecy of 7: The magician gently kneads a diamond on the 3 of Diamonds, and the number 7 appears on the Diamond. When the magician flips the card over on the table, the card has become the 7 of Diamonds!

Heart and Soul: The magician gently shakes the 2 of Hearts, and the two scattered hearts are instantly cuddled together. A great trick to show a couple in love.

Features:

More than 50 kinds of magic effects could be performed
Get even more results when paired together with another gaff
Classic Bicycle Rider Back

The Locking Deck unlocks a creative new approach to entertaining with card magic. Imagine having a card freely selected and shuffled into the deck. Then, out of nowhere, a lock face appears on top of the cards! The magician explains that he will dial a three-number combination consisting of the number, the suit, and the location of the card in the deck. After dialing this combination, the magician or the spectator lifts the lock face and the deck is magically cut to the selection. Afterwards, the deck is spread and shown front and back to be completely normal.

Perfect for walk-around and stage magic!
Absolutely no reset!
Super easy to perform!
Easily customized for any performance situation!
The combination can be someone's birthday, phone number, age, use your imagination!

Twenty years ago, Roberto Giobbi, card magic's most distinguished author, wrote Card College, a series of books now considered THE Bibles on card magic. This video series is the next step.

In five volumes covering five major areas of card magic (Controls, Switches, Palms, Forces, False Shuffles), Giobbi teaches his favorite entries from Card College as well as new techniques not described in those volumes. If you have Card College and are studying it, this is the PERFECT video companion. If you've never read Card College, this series is like having Mr. Giobbi in your living room giving you private instruction.

You won't just learn all the wonderful and important sleights in card magic, you'll also learn the fine points, finesses, and subtleties of each one, so that you carry out the techniques the way connoisseurs do: with invisible precision.

5 DVDs plus slipcase. Running time: 8 hours 11 minutes approximately.
