I don't know. Do you dream about Paul Daniels a lot?

And can you faro Waddies? I haven't tried.

Even I, a magician very fond of gimmicks, didn't suspect that they were gaffed, despite that a few weeks back I read about them on the net. They were in fact a marked deck.
Just goes to show how fooling casual handling can be.
I then had a go of them, performed a quick Ambitious Card. They felt to me to be considerably thicker than Bikes. Very high quality cards.
I find the design on the back to be very ugly though. I like a more subtle pattern, I guess.

Love the jokers.
If they brought out a one way deck or a joker deck or blank back deck, I'd use them for Ambitious Card. Force one of those cards and get the spec to sign. Otherwise you end up with cards missing from the deck every time someone signs a card. I can't think of any other way around that problem. At present I use Bikes and force a blank face card.
