I recently made up a mene-tekel deck & have had some fun with it,simple tricks like "rising card " from deck & card from packet, work well. Anyone know any "interesting" ones using this clever deck, I am sure there must be some? thanks - Kevin (novice)

The Encyclodpeida of Card Tricks edited by Hugard has a section on this deck wiht some effects...check that out

what is a mene-tekel deck (what does it do)? Thanks.

A pack made up of 26 pairs, with one of each pair trimmed short. Can be riffle shuffled & pairs are maintained. Also a riffle through the deck shows all cards different. By forcing a card in a similar manner to the svengali deck & handing the card out, the duplicate card is readily cut to the top.

Hmmm. Sounds interesting. Anybody got any good effects to share?

Sorry to bump an old post, but figured it was better than creating a new one.

Nathan Kranzo has released a 2 DVD set for this deck. Here's the promo video:



Available from Penguin of course:

I haven't picked this up yet, but I'm a big fan of Nate Kranzo. I've heard nothing but good reviews about this dvd. Time to add it to the list.
