Anywhere Deck

Postby Johnny Bravo » Sep 20th, '06, 11:04



The Effect
You remove from a blue card box a blue deck of cards, with one red card face down on the top. You fan/spread through the deck showing this to be the only red card in a blue backed deck. You fan/spread through the cards face up & down.

You put the red card face down on the bottom of the deck & then proceed to make several genuine cuts truly losing the whereabouts of the red backed card.

You then turn the deck face up & spreading through the cards allow the spec to select any card, a free choice. Spec touches whichever card they like & you fairly place it face up on the table/in their hand. You then turn the deck face down again to show that there are only blue backed cards. Spec turns over their card & of course... It has a red back, the only red back in the entire deck!

Cost
I paid £6.00 at my local magic society. Have done a search on ebay & google & can't find anywhere (no pun intended :D ) selling this.

Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)

Review
1st of all I'm not sure if this deck is actually called the anywhere deck & who the creator is. I came across it via a lecture at A.C.E.S. my magic society around a year ago & I forget the lecturers name. Have done a brief google on it but other than a few mentions on the magic cafe forums can't find any sales info on it.

Anyway its a simple trick to perform & as you can show the cards front & back & the spec has a totally free choice of card to pick from it's pretty good. The downside is its a 1 trick jobbie & like a lot of stuff you can't allow the deck to be examined. But then having shown the faces of the cards that's never come up.

Overall
It does the above affect exactly as described & is simplicity in its use. A useful & non brain taxing little gem to carry around.
