"A phenomenal method for a phenomenal trick."

From one of our favorite new artists, Mikey V, comes the absolute last word on the blank deck: Frost!

Frost is a completely gaffed deck that does all the work for you making it one of the easiest and most fooling, self-working card effects you will do! Printed with high quality stock at the United States Playing Card Company, Frost comes ready to go right out of the box!

Start by showing a full deck of 52 cards front and back, and with the snap of a finger reveal that every single card has become blank on the front and back except for the spectator's chosen card. You not only get the visual of showing all of the faces blank, but also get an extra kicker when you reveal that all of the backs have also turned blank except for their signed card! Your spectators can see the deck visually change around their card!

The Other Brothers and Mikey V teach their favorite routine using Frost along with some bonus visuals that are perfect for social media!

And for those of you in a hurry, here's the TL; DR version:

  • Visual
  • Easy to do
  • Self working
  • Ready to go out of the box
  • Printed by USPCC
  • Instant reset
  • No rough & smooth
  • No flaps
  • Full routine taught plus bonus visuals that are perfect for social media!

A clever and easy-to-use method that is different from other blank deck tricks Report this review

The basic effect of Frost is that you can show a deck, front and back, apparently normal on both sides. In an instant, you make the entire deck turn blank, again showing both sides of the cards. In both cases you show all the cards. But that's just the beginning, because as a tool you can incorporate this with other elements, such as having a spectator's signed selection become the only printed card in a deck that has gone entirely blank.

Frost relies on a clever method that is different from other blank deck tricks, yet is very easy to use, and offers good possibilities for presentation and performance. The ad copy is quite accurate in saying there's no rough-and-smooth or flaps or anything like that. The cards are normal poker-sized cards with an embossed air cushion finish, and are printed by USPCC so the quality is excellent. As you'd expect, they are heavily gaffed, in most cases on both sides, and all the trickery lies in the printing, so the deck handles and performs completely normally.

Along with the deck you get access to a 35 minute video tutorial online, which covers everything you need to learn. In terms of difficulty, Frost is basically self-working because the deck does all the work for you, and it's very easy to perform. As long as you can fan and spread cards relatively evenly, there's little to worry about. You can optionally add in sleights like an Erdnase Colour Change if you wish, to enhance aspects of the routine, and that is covered in the video tutorial. But no real sleight of hand is required, and the couple of moves you do need to do (e.g. displacing a card) are well motivated and can be done openly.

Due to how the deck is gaffed, you can when showing the faces to be blank you can spread the cards quite wide, which really adds to the illusion that all the printing is completely gone. And unlike some similar blank deck effects, the fact that you can show both sides to be printed, and then both sides to be blank, is a real strength of Frost. It's worth highlighting that you genuinely can show virtually all the cards, because it's not as if the deck simply consists only of a bank of regular cards and a bank of bank cards, limiting you to just showing half of the deck. So there are several elements that Frost offers in presentation that just aren't possible with some other blank deck tricks.

Frost relies on a clever method that is different from other blank deck tricks, yet is very easy to use, and offers good possibilities for presentation and performance. I'm impressed!
