I purchased a set of 4 Mental Photo Decks, and some of the cards were cut crooked and the gaps were quite large. This deck is a staple in my routine and the first deck I used I had to declare a practice deck since I wouldn't feel comfortable peforming with it in front of an audience. I'm still happy with the effect and recommend it, but the quality control on the cards could use an extra set of eyes.

Easy to learn, easy to mess up, AMAZING EFFECT

The hardest part of walk around magic is interrupting people at a function to do your job. This is the ideal effect!

A great classic, I have a couple of these decks, one of which I do the classic routine.
The other I have made up a special deck of hand drawn cards.
While this deck is widely sold, and cheaper versions are in some magig kits, it still kills & leaves spectators baffled.

My main repertoire consists mainly of mentalism tricks. I needed a visual trick to enrich my presentations. And this was just perfect. It is a very impactful trick and it is fairly easy to perform. I strongly recommend it.

These are always so well made with just the right amount of R/S to make them do what you need them to do. I have always loved the simplicity of blank deck effects and this is a classic. With Penguin's great service, this is a no-brainer. Add this to cart if you don't have one!

This is one of the nicest effects there are with cards. Is easy to do and still has people amazed on how you do it. The cards are of high quality which is very important.

Even if you can't hand the deck after the trick, this is just to powerful of a trick not to pass up.

I have had this trick in my arsenal for a long time, its like anything else, its all in the presentation

This is a heavily-gimmicked deck, but it's gimmicked in ways that are very familiar to anyone who's ever done any work with cards. Too familiar, perhaps. Hasn't everyone seen those "trick decks" where they look like one thing if you riffle it this way, but look like something else if you riffle it the other way? Laymen may not know what to call it, but plenty of them have seen them.

The biggest problem with this deck is that you're showing an effect (deck transformation) that practically BEGS the spectator to say, "Hey, let me take a look at those cards!", and naturally you have to refuse, since this deck is obviously unexaminable.

So why show this effect to anyone?
