i am thinking about buyin the "hauted" black tiger deck which is serposed to cut its self and produce the persons card and wonder if any of you have bought or got it and tell me if it's worth buying

Definitely don't get this in Tiger. We've had this discussion before but Tiger decks automatically draw attention to themselves so gaff ones are pointless .

If you want a haunted deck, get the normal one.

Kati's reply: It seems to work OK to me so I think there may have been a temporary problem at Polar Bird's end .

More from Mods: Polar Bird seems to be doing the biz and the link works fine, thank you kindly!

ok thank you for the help

Just a suggestion, but the very best haunted pack effect that I have ever seen and perform myself is an effect called "Spooked" by Nick Einhorn. The magic happens on the floor between the magician and helper. Really close up and visually stunning. Its not cheap, about £60, but I really think that it is worth every penny.

I performed last Friday in the pub to a small group of friends and finished with "spooked" When I finished the effect I realised that I had about 20 people at the bar all watching in silence. After which I had claps and cheers! Only downside was that they all wanted to see more stuff. I was happy to respond, but all they kept saying was, "Its good, but not as good as the one where the cards move on the floor!"

Oh yeah, regular deck used that can be casually put on the table for inspection at the end.

And Derren Brown has an improtmptue version on Devil's Picture Book.

the rvaen is a very popular trick

If you perform the rising deck - how do you explain the reason to use another deck of cards?

If you mean switching regular deck for similar haunted deck, simply have a non-card trick between. If you mean switching black deck for a regular haunted deck... you could say "For this trick I have to put the cards on the floor, and I sure as hell ain't using my beautiful black deck for THAT! I'll use this cheaper one...
