Also available from www.cards4magic.co.uk - same price. I collect different decks for no good reason other than I like 'em but a tenner a deck is a bit pricey for me.

I think this is more than just a deck of cards if you get what i mean,

Look up Lennrat Green Stolen cards if you want to a review of the effect though personally I like the story that goes with Stolen Cards so I'd pay out the extra couple of quid for that.

I perform an effect using a normal deck called Gemini Twins, which you can find in Karl Fulves's More Self-working Card Tricks book. Stolen Cards is a variation of this trick that has a kicker ending. It's a nice trick but I'll stick with Gemini Twins. I believe the Stolen Cards deck is a one way Rainbow force deck, so it's not identical to the Bicycle Rainbow deck which has normal faces but with 52 different backs.

Hi all

We are supplying the deck with a free routine to get you started. I can guarantee that the price will go up when they are mass released in approx. 3 weeks.

These decks are excellent. So many possibilities. When you see a pack you will definitely want to purchase one. Get them now before the price goes up.

FREE pack to the first person the messages me.

I can tell you without any hesitation to take up Gocho's offer if you are looking to purchase such a deck. As a rule these are very expensive. Carl Cloutier also has or had a rainbow deck out. In the magic world you cannot produce enough of them to make it cost effective to put out there to get the playing card company to do it for you is excruciatingly painful. To do it yourself. Well its a lot of sleepness nights never mind the cost of the decks.

I know there is at least one book on the market written just for rainbow decks. At the moment I can't remember what the name of it is.

Well, I ordered a deck from WMS shortly after starting this thread. (It's still pending, presumably due to the Easter bank holiday). I'll post my thoughts when I receive it.

I found this book after a quick search: The Rainbow Deck by Randy Wakeman and Friends. It's available from Cards4Magic/The Card Collection for £10.

Yes that is the book. I sent you a private message about it before I read the post this morning. Also it may not have been Carl Cloutier with the Rainbow deck It may well have been Randy Wakeman but I cannot remember now. As an aside Carl Cloutier did put out an amazing Electric deck.
