Before I build this Svenagli-esque deck...

Postby .robb. » Dec 7th, '09, 21:47



Before I build this Svenagli-esque deck, does such a thing already exist?

I want the deck to be all red face when riffled one way and all black face when riffled the other. Also considering red front/red back and black front/blue back.

Does such a monster already exist?

Hi Robb. This idea is explored in the Encyclopedia of Card Tricks (magnetic mental control p287) and is also explained in the str***er section in the same book (red or black p281). You can do the all red face, all black face with a standard set of str***ers. Jim

Are you referring to Bluff Call to Colors? This has a similar effect but is performed in a dealing fashion.

nah...kreskin does it too...a normal deck...riffles through the deck they see only red, riffles through again to someone else - they only see black...gives the deck to someone else and they are perfectly normal and contain a full straight deck...

It certainly does. I am the one who invented it for a specific trick. Others may also have invented it but since I am MARK LEWIS naturally I should take precedence over anyone else.

I invented a trick called "Absolutely Out of This World" and sold a ton of them. The effect of the trick is the usual Paul Curry thing but without stopping halfway through the pack.

I can't be bothered explaining it. You may be able to figure it out anyway.

I think I get the gist. You might say that I get "The Long and Short of It". <rimshot> nyuk, nyuk, nyuk
