A compilation of four of my gimmicked decks that I use constantly in both professional and casual performances.
Serendipity Deck: (From the No Briefcase Act) Any named card is predicted using the two Jokers from the deck. A dynamic and entertaining approach to predicting any freely named card.
Smile Deck: (From the Motivational Mentalism Act) The named card is the only one with a smiley face in an otherwise blank-backed deck. No roughing spray, no thin cards.
Telepathic Deck: Your participant merely thinks of any card, and you instantly know it. A forgotten classic reimagined through indirection and subtlety. (unpublished)
Imaginary Deck: Your participant imagines printing any card. You then spread a blank deck to reveal that only one card has been printed: the very card they named. (unpublished)
Four do-it-yourself projects using common tools and clever techniques to create practical, deceptive, and easy-to-build gimmicked decks.
