"Jeki Yoo is one the most versatile magicians I have ever met! His techniques are so polished and clean" - Shin Lim

"What magic do you show when laypeople ask a quick card trick to you? "Fright" is my answer. You should learn it A.S.A.P." - Fujii Akira

"Jeki has frightened me with how clever Fright is. Cards animate with no gimmick. The effect ends clean with nothing to trace back. This is one of my favorite go to card effects now!" - Will Tsai

South Korea’s Jeki Yoo has blended innovative sleight of hand with classic plots to amaze audiences around the world. Now he’s created a wonderful walk around mystery that is totally impromptu. This Haunted Deck routine is super visual and gets great reactions. This is Fright by
Jeki Yoo.

Here’s what happens:
A deck of cards can be shuffled by the audience. A card is selected, and lost back in the deck. The deck is then balanced on the back of the card box and held with one hand by the magician. Slowly, and eerily, the back cuts itself with the bottom half of the deck pushing itself out from underneath the top packet. The card that pushes itself out the furthest is in fact the selected
card.

This take on Haunted Deck is astonishing because not only is everything examinable, it appears like your fingers never move. You’re in total control of when the deck cuts itself. This is the kind of Haunted Deck you are going to want to do. Make your deck Fright with this awesome effect from Jeki Yoo.

What?!! A Haunted Deck with NO GIMMICK?!! 4.5 Stars! Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 21st, 2020

Jeki, I’m impressed. When I saw this trick, I thought it was just another haunted deck. But then the trailer said... NO GIMMICK!!!

I had to see this for myself.

Guys, it’s really true. I wondered if this would be one of those tricks where the trailer basically lies to you. Nope. It’s really true. No gimmick. No clean up. Nothing to hide. Nothing to switch. No digging through your leftover drawer for a “special something that every magician has”. No arts and crafts. No work. No sleights. No prep.

Oh yeah... it’s simple too.

You’ll be able to perform this trick right away. (No matter how easy a trick supposedly is, always practice a few times first)

Get this. I give it 4.5 stars... I reserve 5 stars for extremely mind blowing tricks... for a haunted deck (WITH NO GIMMICK!!!), I award you the highest score I can. 😎

Very good, but probably won't use it Report this review

I really like this. You can see the entire trick in the preview, and it's exactly as clean and magical looking as the preview.

A few points:

Difficulty: This is pretty difficult. Uses one sleight (or to be more exact, half of a sleight) that I think most people would consider an 'advanced' card sleight.

Teaching: This is a no-frills tutorial. Jeki Yoo does explain everything, but it's straightforward and quick. To give some context, the entire tutorial video is under 7 minutes, including 2 live performances. He does run through the sleight used in this trick, but if you're not already familiar with it, some other source would probably be a better place to learn it.

Practicality: Here's a tricky one. Without (hopefully) giving too much away, this won't work as easily with all card boxes. You can see him holding the card box in the demo, which makes the effect even cleaner since you're not touching the deck, but not all card boxes are as effective. To his credit, Jeki Yoo does mention this issue in the video and says to be aware of it. But as long as you've got the right cards, this is fully impromptu.

Angles: This is an easy one. Practically perfect angles from any direction.

In conclusion, I really like it. I'll probably put in the work to get this down, but in practice, I probably won't get to actually perform it that often. Still very fun, magical, and in the right situation, amazing. Been wanting to add a good Haunted Deck trick into my repertoire for a while, and I think this is the closest one to make it in.
