Can you recognize this gimmicked deck?

Postby TerryC » Dec 6th, '11, 21:15



I was doing some cleanup and came across a gimmicked deck. For the life of me, I cannot figure out what it is about:
(Assuming the cards are in the original order)
25 Jack of Spades
A two-sided instruction card, with three straightforward instructions for the spectator.
Eight regular cards
A Jack of Hearts with another spectator instruction on the reverse
Another Jack of Spades
Finally a pile of about 20 misc cards.

These are bicycle cards, so I suspect I purchased the trick in the U.S.

Any help here would be appreciated.

I'm not sure about the jack of spades and the other cards but the two instruction cards sound like they could be from Simon Aronson's 'Side-Swiped'.

OK I found it!

While continuing my cleanup I discovered a bundle of Caleb Wiles' tricks. Among them was a four page document Fully Automatic Card Trick. I guess I should read it now I've rediscovered it!
