Mene Tekel

Postby Chris Black » Nov 4th, '11, 13:13



Does anyone use a Mene Tekel deck? I've just pulled out an old one I'd bought a few months ago and discarded as near useless and realised that the S/L were in the deck the wrong way round!

I've reversed all the cards and now realised how useful this deck can be for card to pocket, card under box, mentalism/mind reading, ACR, etc. and it will work beautifully with the U.C.C.A.

A wee treasure that I will be taking to the pub this very evening.

If I remember rightly The Encyclopedia of Card Magic covers the use of that deck.

It does indeed Mandrake

Lenoir can you explain the routine that Derren does with this.I've never seen a live performance of someone using it.It seems to be a very underated prop

It was on his one of the original series I believe. I'll look through and find the routine.

Numbered and weighed?
Hmm - I find myself wondering what the deck's all about now.
