Ghost gaff deck

Postby arkos » Mar 12th, '06, 20:16



Hey im interested in getting the gaffed ghost deck, but how do u learn the sleights that are needed for it? Are they just normal sleights used in regular card tricks or does it have some sort of instructions that come with the gaffed ghost deck?

I remember this question.. :roll:

No, it doesn't come with instructions. They are making a Gaffed Ghost Deck dvd for it.

Well i reposted it in here since an admin deleted it instead of moving it over here :o So basically the gaffed ghost deck is useless unless you have the how to dvd that isnt even out yet? Or can you incorporate other known slights and tricks with a regular deck to it?

Thanks.

If it is what I think it is, no, it's not useless. It's not one gimmick deck, it's a collection of different types of gaff cards. There are many routines for them around, but you should be able to invent stuff for yourself aswell.

Sounds cool, does anyone have a deck of these that can explain a bit?

Well, I have a regular bike deck of what I think is the same. Mods, I don't know how much I can go into gaff cards here so I'll err on the side of caution for now...

To use the Ghost Gaff deck, you need to have knowledge of some sleights in order to be able to use them in tricks. In the demo vid that Brad made, he shows examples of tricks using some sleights, including the Erdnase Colour Change, and there are a set of cards in the deck that have been made so you can specifically do the 'Dream of Aces' trick with the Ghost Deck.

Other cards include a set that make it seem like a card is fading, double backed cards, DF cards, blank cards, and other artistic cards that you wont find anywhere else, like the Ghost Kings cards (they have skulls instead of faces, look quite cool!) i think there are some that use the jokers, i cant think of all the cards off the top of my head but they look very good indeed. I am tempted to buy this when i make some money! But, yeah, you need to know some basic sleights to use the cards, they are designed so that you make up your own tricks with them. And the Ghost Gaff Deck DVD should also help with coming up with ideas for tricks when it comes out in April or May.

hope that helps
