The Providence playing cards are great looking and exude luxury.  These cards have the potential of becoming an instant classic.  The best part about these cards are the back design.  The design is a two way black, bronze and gold design that contains a single eye in the middle of the card.  The card edges… Continue Reading Providence Playing Cards by The 1914

Damn you Lloyd Barnes!!! (You too Owen Garfield!)  I had things to do and then you went ahead and released Cognito.  That was the end of me.  I have done nothing but immerse myself in Cognito and my daily living TO DO list has only grown in size (exponentially).  I must remember to put down… Continue Reading Cognito by Lloyd Barnes and Owen Garfield

The Mono heXa Chroma Edition playing cards are another in the series of Luke Wadey’s Mono playing cards.  With a hexagram back created by lavender and white stripes, these are very cool looking cards with unusual colors and a metallic shine to the card backs.

Chained is a great routine that you can wear and perform anytime and anywhere.  With Chained, you show your spectators that you are wearing a think stainless steel chain with a Kennedy Half Dollar on it.  The 50 cent piece has two holes drilled through it and the chain is threaded through the two holes… Continue Reading CHAINED by Perry Maynard

Bannon…BBM…yeah, you got MY attention… AGAIN!  What a great download from our favorite self-working card trick deity and it really kills over ZOOM, or FaceTime, or on the phone or even in person.  The magician never touches or sees the cards and the spectator does all the dealing and picking and moving of the cards… Continue Reading John Bannon’s Bandwidth: Zoombaya by Big Blind Media

This is a sick deck of cards.  Not a single value on any card, but the most intense neon colors that function as a strobe animation when you riffle through the deck.  There is something superbly special about this deck and you realize it the second they slide out of the box. There are 49… Continue Reading XQ Forty Nine Cards by Magic Encarta

The Birthday Deck is a wonderful gift and you don’t have to wait for your birthday to pick this up.  Inspired by Cameron Francis’s Red Hot Prediction (also a totally awesome trick), this trick will knock the pants of any spectator. Your pectator tells you their birthday and you deal down cards from a blue… Continue Reading The Birthday Deck by Liam Montier and Big Blind Media

Cameron Francis and Big Blind Media hit another double Grand Slam with LONER. LONER is a trick that can be performed virtually or in person and it is amazingly astonishing.  Here is what the spectator sees:  The performer takes out a red backed deck of Bikes and everything looks good and normal until the faces… Continue Reading LONER by Cameron Francis and Big Blind Media

UP is a gimmick that allows you to place any selected card on top of the deck and have it levitate on command about an inch off the deck under your spectator’s finger.  For reasons described below, this trick gets a poor rating. With your $29.95 purchase, you get the pre-made gimmick on a Bicycle… Continue Reading UP by Steve Marchello
