During my lecture a couple of nights ago i mentioned an American trick whereby you approach a table holding a notepad, like some waiter, and it turns into a deck of cards which you then use. Do any of guys know its title and which dealer puts it out. A young magician at the lecture wants to know. I've searched 18 months of mags but cannot yet find it.
Thanks guys

Not sure, but using a little bit of glue and a notepad cover could sort it out?

Thank you Seige, for such a quick reply. What you've written is what i was going to advise the young magician to do. A small notepad and a card box are so similar in size it shouldn't take much working out and I'll write him a short opening script to fit the situation. For the future however I'd still like to know tyhe name of the trick. Will save me searching through another 100 mags of the last 2 years.

I was suggesting more a deck of cards with a 'fake' on top which looked like the top of a notepad. With a quick Erdnase or somesuch, the pad becomes cards.

Thank you again Seige. That's even easier and palmed off there's nothing left to find. The 'notepad' cover could well have 2( for 'thickness') small blank pages attached so you could lift the cover up & all 3 wouldn't be any thicker than a playing card.

And the beauty is, cards with a cover would LOOK like a notepad—if you follow the theory of retention of thought being contextual (i.e. they see a notepad cover, with 'leaves' of apparent paper beneath–so they assume it's a pad without further thought)
