Thanks trickyricky

it's card's that you can turn around so when the spectator puts there card back in the deck you swing the card round so it will be faceing the opposite way before they took it

not sure if this is the correct name for them

sorry may not be the best explanation

Thanks

Most advertising cards are one way. Try searching Ebay for Waddingtons cards or whiskey cards :lol:

It is cards with pictures on the back that you are after by the sound of it.

Try shops in that aim towards tourists, as these usually have them.

Also, check out some of your decks. Sometimes the printing isn't even, so the borders on the back might be wider on one side. Some people know about one way backs, so if you can avoid the obvious designs, it would be better.

On Daryls Card Sleights DVD, he shows that even some of the Bee backed decks can be used in this way.

Bicycle League Back decks are a nice one-way design. Incredibly easy to work with, as well.
