Can someone please help me with this? I bought a stripper deck on ebay (it is the first one i have ever bought), and i think i got ripped off! I think i got a regular bicycle deck of cards. I can see nothing special about them at all. Anyone have a thought on this?

yes youv'e been ripped off, send them back and demand a refund.
no instructions no trick cards.

Well hold on do you know what a stripper deck is?

If you do know what a stripper deck is, then forgive me, for I have been very patronising.

The fact of the matter is, if you BOUGHT a stripper deck, surely you KNOW what it is and what it is for???

If not, forgive ME for sounding condescening. But if it is genuinely a regular deck of cards, then you have indeed been ripped off.

The telltale sign that you have a stripper deck is to hold it near a polished vertical pole. If one card jumps out and dances seductively around it, you've got a stripper on your hands.

Otherwise, cut the deck and rotate the top half 180° laterally (i.e. don't turn them over, just rotate end-for-end). Then square the cards.

You can PM me with your findings, and I'll advise.

I got a faulty stripper deck that only had 51 cards and a faulty mirage deck that only had 24 force cards. I'm awaiting a reply to my email asking for replacements. If you bought them from a reputable company they should have a returns policy but not sure on ebay

i have one advice. dont buy magic tricks from ebay!!!

Hey thanks for all the help guys, but i finally remembered how to use my stripper deck. The 180 degrees thing jogged my memory...Thanks! Oh, and i didn't get ripped off, he sent me the right one.

I didn't buy it from ebay I bought it from magictricks.co.uk
