Magic Review - Circus Bicycle Playing Cards

VIDEO REVIEW

ADD COPY

The CIRCUS is coming... Relive childhood memories of attending the circus as a kid. The sights, the smells, the excitement! We tried to put all of that into this all-purpose deck, suitable for all of your playing card needs. A special full-bleed back design for the cardist. Extra gimmick cards for the magician. Easy to read for poker or your favorite playing card game. And being made as a limited one time print suitable for the discerning collector.

An unbranded version of this deck was released in 2019 and was one our fastest decks to sell out. Besides updating the tuck box we also updated the indices of the red face cards, so the value and suit would be matching red.

Deck Review - Emperor Playing Cards by Penguin Magic

VIDEO REVIEW

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxEdc_J6cJ0

ADD COPY

MATERIALS

The Emperor deck has been printed to perfection by the Expert Playing Card Company on a classic stock & finish. This is the same quality we have used on our Woodlands and Composition Decks, which feel terrific and offer ultra smooth handling. Expert is known for delivering precise registration, which is a MUST for a design with borders as thin as the ones on Emperor. The silky edges are a delight to hold whether you're a faro-shuffling magician, a quick-cutting cardist, or an at-home game player.

MARKED VERSION

In addition to the Standard version, we have also created a MARKED version of the deck. Each back design hides a secret code that allows you to identify the suit & value of the card at a glance. Perfectly hidden but easy to learn, the marked Emperor deck is a powerful magical tool. It is intended for entertainment purposes only, and should not be used for gambling or cheating.

?Designed by Mark Stutzman
?Gorgeous custom Back design & Ace of Spades
?Duplicate custom Jokers
?Custom Tuck Box with foil seal
?Printed by EPCC with Classic stock/finish
?Available in Unmarked and Marked versions
?Collector's Set, Coin, Pin, and Art Prints also available

Conceived by Kevin Reylek, designed by world-renowned artist Mark Stutzman (Split Spades, Whispering Imps) and produced by Penguin Magic with printing by the Expert Playing Card Company.

Magic Review - Homicide by Jack Tighe

VIDEO REVIEW

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRPmSk7SG9g

ADD COPY

A BBM EXCLUSIVE VIDEO DOWNLOAD - Jack Tighe's Homicide is a brilliant and fun routine that'll leave your spectator's gobsmacked.

Jack Tighe may be known for having deity level skills in the card handling department, BUT he's also not above crafting a routine which is so easy it's almost ridiculous. 'Homicide' is one such super easy gem.

It's a fabulous two phase mentalism piece that utterly fooled me the first time I saw it. It has some inbuild comedy (watch the performance and you'll see what I mean) and if you don't know the method - YOU. WILL. BE. FOOLED TOO!

It's one of my favourite 'go-to' effects now. Brilliantly deceptive. Devilishly easy. Fantastic fun!

You can nab it now for the same low price as a Starbucks mega-frappa-caramel-oatmilk-triple shot-foambath-latte-acino.
Super easy to do - NO sleights!

Deck Review - PCD 5th Anniversary Playing Cards

VIDEO REVIEW

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgCd7L6eTsE

ADD COPY

A special limited deck to commemorate the 5th anniversary of PlayingCardDecks.com, often referred to as PCD.

Franken decks have been one of our most popular items at PCD, which are created by assembling a complete deck from cards from all different decks, a very time consuming process. So we decided to create a printed franken deck from our favorite decks we have produced and collaborated on from our first 5 years. This deck has 56 different backs and faces!

This deck is a must have for collectors, especially single card collectors. Many of the cards in this deck are from sold out favorites. These decks can also be used for casual card games such as solitaire and war, as well as a rainbow deck for magicians and a colorful eclectic deck for cardistry.

Special thanks to the USPCC custom division for their assistance in making this deck.

Magic Review - I Don't Know by Tom Dobrowolski

VIDEO REVIEW

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0Od3MFIwLk

ADD COPY

A BBM EXCLUSIVE VIDEO DOWNLOAD - Tom Dobrowolski's masterfully structured packet trick is a real crowd pleaser. Three blue backed cards impossibly take on the face values of three randomly selected cards from a red backed deck.

It's super clean, easy to do, and ends with a beautiful kicker - those three blue backed cards end BLANK FACED!

Features Tom's original version (which utilises a bit of sneaky extra gubbins for ultra clean handling), and the subsequent John Bannon-approved version that removes it, for it a more 'anytime/anywhere' performance option!

Card Magic Review - Full Tilt Poker by Jack Tighe

VIDEO REVIEW

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIW-zQdFVkQ

ADD COPY

A BBM EXCLUSIVE VIDEO DOWNLOAD - This utterly fooling routine is a blast to perform. A hand of poker has an impossible climax despite your audience having complete control of all the decisions!!

Here's the scoop - You offer to play a game of Poker with your spectator. They (genuinely) cut the deck and you deal two hands from the random portion they left. The spec checks their own hand and yours is left unseen on the table. Then your plucky adversary gets to decide how many cards you should discard from your hand... one, two, three, four or five, it's a free choice! You ditch the number of cards they say and deal replacements.

Despite the completely fair handling, and regardless of the hand the spectator ends up with it, you have a surprise to reveal. Yep, when your hand is turned over you have a Royal Flush in Spades!

This brilliant routine is easy to do, requires only simple sleights and is completely baffling!

Magic Review - Blankety by Liam Montier & Big Blind Media

video review:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmCzdU36Jco

add copy

Four Jokers are covered with some blank cards, and one by one, they visually 'jump' across to the packets, each vanishing from its own space and appearing in the next one along, until all four of them assemble into the last packet... or do they? Is this vague language concealing a HUGE kicker finish! Maybe! (Spoiler alert - it is.)

With simple handling, crystal clear plot and easy reset, this magic-laden monster routine is equally ideal for professional use, or for busting friends brains at a pub, club or school!

No extra cards! No sticky stuff or roughing stuff! No fiddly gaffs! No kidding!

Everything you need to perform this masterpiece is included in the package.

Magic Review: Stripper Deck Tips!

video review

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI4A_DIjND0

A stripper deck (also known as a tapered deck, wizard deck, or biseaut? deck) allows the magician to control the main location of a card or group of cards easily within the pack. Even after being shuffled into the deck by a spectator, the magician can cut to a selected card.

Imagine someone selects a card and then looses it into the deck. You, the magician, can then instantly and mysteriously locate that card from the deck. This deck puts the magic in your hands.

The stripper deck looks like a regular deck of cards but there is a slight difference that sets it apart. This deck is tapered; while holding the deck you will notice a subtle difference of one end of the cards being wider than the other end of the cards.
