Thin Cards

Postby AnonymousZC » Jul 7th, '10, 21:07



I was wondering if anyone knew of a deck of cards that were quite thin, similar to those used in a Phil Plus deck.
I am looking for some one way force decks in this type.
Doubt there are any. But thought i'd ask.

Try www.cards4magic.co.uk, they have just about the biggest collection of cards in the know universe. If you can't see anything suitable an e-mail or phone call asking the question will be the best way to go.

The protea cards are the ones used in Phil Plus, correct? If so, then by your post, you are saying that they are normally that thin? If that's correct, then that might be a good choice.
I only need to buy 52 decks to make a 1 way force deck XD

It was just an idea, that might not be possible without spending alot of money.

Most manipulation decks are very thin, that and I believe the decks that Shoot Ogawa sells (his own brand) are thin cards, if so, send him an e-mail and see if he will do you a one way?

Jeff McBride would be another option.

Specifically, the Phoenix deck is avaiable in a thin version:
Phoenix Double Decker
108 Thin Phoenix Cards. Looks like a regular Phoenix deck. Backs are marked for additional handling.
For the first time ever you can get a deck containing 104 cards that matches perfectly a professionally produced card deck. This allows new effects never possible before because a spectator will never expect that underneath the first 52 cards (54 with Jokers) is waiting another complete deck of playing cards.

The cards of the Double-Decker are so ultra-thin that two complete decks including Jokers fit into a regular cardcase!
