In a way it may be better not to show them the deck. If they want to see the deck it mens that they have a suspicion that the deck you're using is gimmicked, or at least one or two card are gaffed. If you do a deck switch and the catch you, this only proves their theory. If on the other hand you just refuse to show them the deck, they can not prove whether or not you have a gimmicked deck or if you just dont want them going through the deck.
A number of quick excuses, to be said confidently so it is not obvious you're hiding something, could be:
- "Wait a moment, I've still got more tricks to do. I'll let you look at it at the end."
- "Sorry, this is a new deck and I'm paranoid that someone's going to bend the cards or get their greasy mits all over them."
Another convincer, if you generally perform to the same people, is to not let them examine non-gaffed/gimmicked decks or props. This has the double-whammy of:
a) Not allowing an audience to disspell the theory that the trick is gimmicked, thus making it harder to figure out.
b) Making it a perfectly normal thing not to show them a gimmicked deck when you happen to have one.
