Yes you can open the lid - take a look inside

with the cover of some patter and some hand small hand movement it looks like a deck is indie the case from only a couple of feet away.
NO ONE has ever questionned the deck. I sometimes also take the selected card from an ID and insert it into the deck and vanish it in the same way
