An insight into the mind, mechanics and devilry of a card cheat.

The Cold Deck is a collection of deck-switching techniques by Daniel Madison. The ebook teaches six techniques for secretly and invisibly switching the deck in play in thorough detail. It also includes Slaine, a device that holds or feeds the cold deck to the cheat without suspicion.

1st edition 2011, 16 pages.
From the introduction:
Though there is little that is "new" in the way of sleights here, this routine came from years of careful trial and error. The five phases represented here are the final result. I've found, after thousands of performances, that for the walk-around performer, this routine is just the right length to maintain spectator interest. Also, like any magic routine where the same effect is apparently repeated a number of times, each phase offers an apparently more impossible set of circumstances. It also ends with a natural applause cue.

The performer has a card selected, no force, and returned to the deck. The deck is shuffled and 7 or 8 cards are dealt face down into an arc shape. The performer introduces his card case and says this is his pet, CASEY. Casey is well trained and can find selected cards. That is because he is a pointer. (Pun Intended.) The performer holds the card case above his hand and says, "Casey stay." The card case remains suspended in the air. The performer says, "Chase your tail." The deck revolves 360 degrees in the air. Performer says, "Play dead," the card case drops into his hand.

A deck of cards is given to a spectator to shuffle, and she's asked to silently think of any number between 1 and 52. The performer then asks the spectator to freely select a card and remember it.
At no time during the effect does the performer know the spectator's number or the value of the chosen card. He briefly shuffles the deck, asks the spectator to hold out her hand, and places the face down deck on her palm. The spectator then deals cards, one by one face down, to her chosen number.
She then turns this card face up. It's her chosen card.
This effect is 100% impromptu. Any deck...
