"How utterly fooling. I haven't got a clue. You are brilliant! Well done!"
- Derren Brown

"Angelo Carbone is one of the most clever creators of magic I know. You will appreciate this trick even more once you see the uncompromising attention to detail that Angelo has put into this creation. It's Incredible!"
- Asi Wind

"When Angelo Carbone releases a new effect the magic world stands up and cheers, and Demi Deck is an excellent example of the reason why. This is brilliant!"
- David Regal

"Everything about Demi Deck is genius. The creation, routine, the added convincers, and every other aspect. And the fact that this is real world practical... damn!"
- Lloyd Barnes

Stage illusions are distinct from all other types of magic...They are larger than life exhibitions of our will to accomplish the impossible. But to maintain that illusion, the audience must view it at a considerable distance. Angelo Carbone's brilliant mind brings the grandest of stage illusions - cutting a person in half - to the palm of your hand, with Demi Deck.

Imagine taking an ordinary deck of cards, putting it inside the case, and with a slice of the blade you cut the deck in half, showing both ends. Then with a few kind words, magically heal the deck back together. Use this as an opener, in the middle of your set, or as a show stopping closer.

After 17 years of perfecting the design, award winning magician Angelo Carbone is finally ready to open the curtains and reveal his latest masterwork, welcome to Demi Deck.

"My brain opened like Demi Deck when Angelo showed me this in front of my eyes!"
- Tobias Dostal

"Absolutely fooled me and it plays like a grand illusion."
- Lisa Menna (Special Fellowship AMA Award winner)

"It has been both a privilege and a curse to know about this for as long as I have and not been able to tell anyone how awesome it is!"
- Marc Lavelle

"Just incredible, one of the most impressive big illusions [to fit] into your pocket! David Copperfield will be jealous!"
- Mickael Chatelain

"Angelo has just shown me Demi Deck and I am mad. He should have released this sooner so I could have had this in my set sooner! That's insane!"
- Alan Rorrison

"You can put Demi Deck in the "Fooled me badly" pile. It's the only pile I have for Angelo."
- Jon Allen

"How!!! Just HOW!?!"
- Titanas

"Once again, the innovative genius of Angelo Carbone has created another creative miracle! I've always been a Close-Up guy, but now thanks to DEMI DECK, I will be performing "Grand Illusion!"
- Paul Green

"I'm a big fan of Angelo's work, every piece he has designed is as baffling to knowledgeable magicians as it is entertaining for audiences, but this... this is his magnum opus. I have no desire to learn the secret (which I'm sure is a stroke of genius) as I haven't been this fooled in many, many years."
- Dee Christopher

"I love the idea of taking a grand illusion and adapting it for close up. It immediately engages the spectators, and you have their full attention"
- Nikolas Mavresis

Damn near foolproof Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 18th, 2023

My favorite kind of trick to buy - the kind that just works. Not a lot of fussy angles or handling - it's very intuitive. And well built, as well. The fact that the deck is ungimmicked makes it doubly useful, since you can use it for a big effect, or on the way to a great card trick.

The video is very helpful, too, giving a few effects that make use of the prop.

But good lord, in the age of GoPros and iPhone 14s, why, oh why, are we still getting instructional videos that are totally out of focus? Did nobody view the reel after you shot it? We get this amazing quality item in beautiful packaging, and then an instructional video that looks like Mr. Magoo's 6th grade film project.

Very Nice Prop Report this review

Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 16th, 2023

The Case is very well made with a lot of "Bells and Whistles" to make it a convincing illusion. With that being said it will take practice in front of a mirror to keep from flashing the "secret". The video is okay by Angelo Carbone with additional tips from Penguin Magic. Basically this is a nice miracle but definitely NOT an instant miracle.

Strong Illusion with some limitations Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 18th, 2023

This looks great and props to Angelo. I actually wanted to rate this 4 and 1/2 stars

Pros: Looks convincing, not complicated, inexplicable if performed correctl, instant reset. Good reactions

Cons: Angle sensitive--best one on one or social media. You need to keep your spectator within a narrow viewing range. Case is not examinable.

On this last point, it seems to me that it might be possible in future to create some covert "locking mechanism" that would allow the case to be handed out (as I've seen with some Tenyo products)--as it is, you cannot share it though the spectators are generally focussed on the undamaged cards. All in all, this is worth getting if you can live with the above limitations and have some way to cover it if the spec says "can I see that case?".

Overpriced Cheap fragile plastic gimmick Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 18th, 2023

I really am unhappy with my purchase of this product.
The idea is cool, angles aren't too bad. My box almost broke after the 3rd use. And unless using like a Fulton's deck or something the other side doesn't line up with the other side they see. It's been brought to my attention. And honestly the price isn't worth it.

its just okay and better be dark when you do it Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 17th, 2023

I guess I am not at the skill level of Angelo Carbone but for your professionals it is probably great but for the rest of us it works but not that impressive. Requires LOTS of practice to get it right. I need to stop buying gimmicks and focus on my card magic. Thats my bread and butter.

Sorry I bought this one like the next Angelo Carbone and they are just not for me.

3-5 cards get stuck on one side Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 20th, 2023

Everything seems nice, but when I try to dump the cards out, a few cards remain stuck and I have to pull them out one by one. This ruins the effect and draws too much attention to the case. The spectator is left wondering why cards would get stuck, and creates suspicion about the case itself, instead of appreciating the effect and letting them examine the cards.

I think I might be able to gently file the inside of the case to remedy this, as it is a very small amount of pinching of the cards. This part of the case has no effect on the actual method of the trick, it just seems to be a slight defect in the clearance for the cards on the inside.

Excellent!!! Elegant!!! Bravo!!! Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 13th, 2023

This is one of the best close-up pieces I have seen in years. Angelo shows several different ways of presenting this to maximize its impact on different types of audience. It plays especially well to a camera, so it is perfect for zoom presentations and social media videos. But Angelo has also worked out ways to do this under less friendly conditions.

Brilliant!!!!

Well worth the money.

demi deck Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 18th, 2023

Great trick. Surprised how well the angles are. Does take some practice tho. One thing they didnt cover was the handling on the routine where you turn the case vertical, i think that would have the worst angles. You get a routine idea from david regal and javier fuenmayor. Lots of subtle tips to make the most impact out of this great effect. I would recommend this trick,

Excellent mini illusion!! Report this review

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 18th, 2023

Just got Demi Deck and let me just say, this is just about the perfect trick! So so cool, easy to do, very visual. Build quality is insanely good. Angelo, thank you so much for bringing this to the community! I will definitely practice a lot, but within 10 minutes I've already got it down good for the camera. Wow! I LOVE this trick! It feels so good to get a trick that is as good as advertised! Rare these days!

Favorite Trick of the Year so far! Report this review

Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 7th, 2023

Basically all you want in a magic effect. It's not cheap but not expensive for how hard the effect hits either- whether virtually or in person- Get it!
