No deck??? So you bought the exchange deck DVD only, you would prob have been better of spending the extra & buying the deck as well & if you bought from a decent magic shop I'd ask if you can still do this.

The DVD goes into repairing the deck but doesn't give any details on how to make the deck. Once you know how the deck is meant to work it took me around an hour to make a deck, but even then I did it wrong!

Get yerself a deck! :P

I also bought the DVD + deck pack.
I don't think it's quite difficult to make it but I believe that you have to see it at least once, so it would be better if you purchase one deck.

I got this a while back and have since made a couple of my own exchange decks..... its a fab trick and the teleporting card is a stunner!

Totally inexplicable to the spectator as you dont even touch the deck that the spectator is holding!

A true gem, and a must have.....

I ended up buying the full set from Royal. Excellent deck!

For you guys that have had it for a bit, how long before you were comfortable performing in front of a small group?

A bit late but.. you can perform the easier effects within a couple of hours..

You literally have to master 1 move then.. its just your imagination that limits you. There are hundreds of effects that utilise this deck.

The best thing about it is that the card never leaves the spectators sight.. once!! But the cards still change !!

If you can get into making a few of these.. I think these can be potentially the most used gaff deck. Ive started to use mine again and the reactions are very strong..

After having this deck for three months, I'd say it is a good purchase.

However, what I bought was a Black Tiger version. There were no other stocks avaialble and I am getting pretty impatient. So what the heck.

Somehow, upon seeing the Black Tiger deck, most spectators think it is "gaffed" already.

Just to be clear, they just know that the good looking deck is really for magic purposes...so the amazement factor went down a bit even if I try to compensate it with my acting abilities (or the lack thereof).

So upon knowing how to create the gimmick, I made my own using a normal Red Bicycle Deck. So there.

If you're in the UK, there's one link in Mr.Deck's post above - other than that, a bit of Googling ought to track down other suppliers.
