Phil blank is a separate thing. you write your own names. Phil plus and Phil plus 2 have names already printed on the back.

I'm quite intrigued by this now. I've done 'Final Fred' as Max called it a number of times and always found it quite fun. Naturally I just used regular Bikes and wrote my names on... I think I prefer that... "Actually, I like to name my cards myself." It's a bit 'kooky'.
It'd be no great stretch to throw in the second phase utilising a gimmick all mentalists own.
Would this deck be able to be reproduced in handwritten form on a deck of bikes once bought? I'll seriously consider buying it if so.
EDIT: Is it angle proof?

You cannot perform the Phil plus effect using a standard pack of bikes. It needs to be a 'special pack'.
Phil blank is the effect you want where you can write the names on yourself.
No problem with angles (unless someone is looking over your shoulder when you are writing your prediction)

I love Phil (and Phil Plus) - but do wonder what the difference with Phil Plus 2 is. From the description it sounds identical to Phil Plus. Is it just a printed Phil Plus rather than a blank Phil Plus?

As far as I can tell, Phil Plus 2 has a mix of both boy's and girl's names wheras Phil Plus just has girl's names. The force name is still a girl's name... unless someone can tell me otherwise.
Phil blank has no names. you write your own.
There are other variants of Phil Blank such as
www.card-shark.de 's Phoenix double-decker packs.
