Hi, Can i have some opinions on the Mental Photography deck? Ive watched "On the Loose" Bill Malones version and it looks really great. I know it wrks on the same principle as the Invisible and Brainwave decks. But how easy and Practical is it to use?

Thanks

Very easy to use - even I can manage it! Practical - well, it depends where you perform. If you tend to do a couple of tricks down the pub and have "grabby" mates, then maybe not.

Incidentally, it doesn't really work like the two decks you have mentioned. While it is similar in some ways, the Mental Photography/Self-Printing Deck is closer to another common gimmicked pack of cards!

You won't be surprised to hear that there are several previous threads on this topic, a few are:

It's awesome - get it.
It's not expensive either, really.

Do the cards have to be kept in a specific order or is it easy to get the cards back in place after showing all blank or all suits?

Cheers!

It's easy, buy it. Pretty much sleight free.

You mean you don't have a mental photo deck? Oh man if I could reach out and slap you upside the head I would.

It is probably nothing you are going to use all the time. But it is a great effect, just to have it lying around the house to show guests every now and again makes it worth it. There are some stallar routines using the deck, yes they are all the same just different patter.

Highly recommended.
