Trick photography? Hardly. But once you witness The Exchange in action, you'll swear that either a supernatural force has possessed a deck of cards or you've witnessed a bona-fide blip in the fabric of reality.

The Exchange allows magicians to perform miracles - effortlessly. Imagine outjogging a card from the pack and visibly changing the color of its back or face - without sleight of hand.

But wait, there's more! The Exchange allows you to:

  • Morph four freely selected cards into the four aces.
  • Print your personal information on a blank business card.
  • Switch gaffed cards for the real thing
  • Clean-up formerly dirty packet tricks - right under their noses.
  • Heal a torn or hole-punched card And much more - all without difficult sleight of hand.

Perhaps best of all, The Exchange can be set-up in any deck of cards without suspicion. The gaff is cleverly disguised in such a way as to be absolutely undetectable, even to spectators who scrutinize your every move! This is a devilishly clever card utility you'll put to work immediately.

Trade in your tired, old tricks for The Exchange.

A bit misleading Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 14th, 2004
One of the reasons I bought this was because I read that this is supposed to be able to clean up packet tricks such as 'Very Wild' by Boris Wild.

......It doesn't.

In fact Tomás Medina confesses that it doesn't on the DVD. Basically, you are *twice* as dirty at the end of the trick because 'The Exchange isn't examinable either.

The idea behind the deck is alright and the demo looks o.k., but I wasn't really that impressed when I received it.

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 12th, 2010
With this deck one could perform; Three Card Monte without gaffed cards, a VERY visual Torn and Restored, Rising Card, Cards Across (use two decks), card forces, mentalism, where does it end?!! AWESOME and VERSATILE and definitely HOT SAUCE!

Nothing special Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 21st, 2009
I have this trick and can't even give it away. It's just not that impressive. I used it a few times and I just think there is much stronger magic out there. It does what it is meant to do, however.

Good, but not for everyone Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 5th, 2006
PROS:
- Performs quick, easy, and undetectable exchanges of cards
- Can be used for transformation, transposition, animation (turn around card), and restoration effects
- The deck appears normal to the spectator
- You can make your own gimmick for any deck (possibly w/ out even a trip to the store)
CONS:
- The deck cannot be examined
- The actual gimmick ties up about a third of the deck
- DoesnÂ’t do anything that canÂ’t be done with sleights

The gimmick is very clever, but points off from the inventor because itÂ’s a variation of a pre-existing gimmick. The Exchange only does card exchanges, but it does do them well. Still, you could do slightly less amazing exchanges using basic slieght of hand, and then you wouldnÂ’t have your spectators wondering why you have to keep sticking cards in the deck in order for the magic to work. The Exchange can be used to improve existing effects and if youÂ’re creative, youÂ’ll be able to find numerous uses for it. However, it might be too restricting or impractical for some people to really use.

A MUST FOR POCKET TRICKS! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 7th, 2005
If you are a fan of pocket tricks, without a doubt...this is a must! As soon as I received The Exchange, I made another one with a blue deck (the dvd clearly explains how to repair the deck...so why not duplicate the deck?) This is probably the most useful purchase I made at Penguin. If you are a cardician, strictly into cards like I am....you will realize the importance of adding this gimmick deck into your repertoire.

Not what expected Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 27th, 2005
I ordered the Exchange with the thought in my mind of being able to clean up dirty packets but when it arrived and after watching the dvd i was disappointed to learn that you can't clean up a dirty packet with it. It even admits that in the movie. Also the gimmick was so simple that it was annoying. Anyway, I hope that I have warned you about the trick enough to make it clear that I thought it was a waste of money.

Great Gaff Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 6th, 2005
A great trick if you don't mind using a gaff deck. It's as cunning as the rising card gaff deck and just as powerful.

The reason I took a point off was nothing to do with the deck itself, but rather Medina's teaching style. He looks bored stiff throughout and delivers the tricks with no passion. He's also left handed so you've got double the work to do in working out his handling which is not always clear.

One piece of advice: Don't open the gaff until you've watched the DVD or there might be tears! As others have said - it is reparable though.

BUY IT!

A very good card device Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 10th, 2005
I think this is the best card gimmick since the invention of gaffed cards. This is reall good, trust me. This will replace all of those packet trick where cards change, like Very Wild. What is also great about this is the DVD that comes with this teaches you over 20 routines with the exchange. I highly recommend this.

You Need This ! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 31st, 2005
This is by far the coolest and most useful effect I have purchased in a long time! The Exchange does all it claims and more! I wonder how I went this long without it. The DVD is very informative and includes a ton of routines including McDonald's Aces and Very Wild. The whole package DVD/Gimmicked deck was inexpensive!! It's the best bargain I've seen in a long time, and the quality and results have no words. You have to have The Exchange!

Exchange Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 26th, 2005
The DVD shows (without realising) how limited this gimmick is. I was shocked to see the gimmick, although the idea is good.

It's not worth the money (although the demo looks fantastic). By the way, you have no chance of getting away with trying to use this during a poker game!
