Just found a deck of cards - any idea what they are ???

Postby moonbeam » Oct 29th, '11, 16:42



Hi everyone (again!!!)

I've just found a deck of cards and I remember my cousin showing me a specific trick with them .... yet I can't for the life in me remember it :shock:

The deck consists of all 3 of diamonds - each of which has a different back design, except for 4 of the cards - there is a 10 of clubs and 10 of spades, these have the same back design (different from the rest of the deck) and there's also an 8 of clubs and 8 of spades which have an identical back design (different from the rest of the deck).

On the deck case is printed, "Mumbai 5001".

Anyone any idea what this deck is used for ???

I'm sure if someone just outlines the trick I'd remember the method and presentation, etc.

Thanks in advance :wink:

I was shown this last month by Stuart C after discussing a similar trick with a regular deck, I'll drop you a PM.

Stolen Cards or a variation of the Gemini Twins plot from Fulves.

How very bizarre!

I was given a very similar deck as a gift at roughly the same time yesterday that you posted this!

What you mean is a Rainbow Deck.

Stolen Cards is just a rainbow deck with Las Vegas cards but without the effort to actuallt get 50 different Vegas cards!

Yeah when I was shown a performance of Stolen Cards it was acted out with the premise of the deck having been constructed by a gambling uncle who cheated in casinos... then in the final spread at the end I spotted what appeared to be a "Dora the Explorer" themed card. I'm guessing that wasn't a high stakes game...
