As a magician coming up on 10 years of performing, I don't go anywhere without my cohorts of marked cards! If you know, you know, and yes I know they're not objectively the best option, but they've never failed me!
Cohorts are my go to as well. Great marked deck. I’ve recently became a big fan of the Pete Turner cross keys deck, & the new Pioneers deck from Ellusionist. Both easy to read @ distance IMO.
@@kodasheamuncie I really like the Crossed Keys Deck as well. I bought around 25 decks from Penguin. Need to start using them again-- great cards and great marking system.
I recently got cohorts and am a beginner I love them so far and bring them with me every where as well
This was great David, it's so easy to forget about some of these the deeper we get into magic, especially with all the 'latest and greatest' that everyone instantly wants.
When you go back and look at some of the projects produced to go along with these decks there is some stuff out there that could really go into a working set.
Too many people write these off as they have seen them from the very beginning of their magic journey but believe it or not, spectators will still be just as surprised with one as these as they would if you do it using decades of sleight practice 👌🏼
Thanks Marcus
When performing card tricks I always use a regular deck and let my hands do the magic BUT if I was going to carry another deck which does one trick, it would be Richard Sanders - Any Card. I personally think it's better than the invisible deck.
nice !!! that's in my latest giveaway !!!
Why?
@@thestreet9537 If you have seen Any Card performed correctly you will know why it is better. With the invisible deck, people will think you are a skilled magician who can manipulate 1 card.
@@scruffy12561I agree 100%, more powerful and easier to do than Invisible deck. The fact that no one ever expects things to be written down on the back, has people go bonkers.
52 to 1 deck ,really great!
Very nice!
Thanks for the list. I have a number of these decks, but since I don't normally use them, I tend to forget how each is structured, so this was a nice reminder about that. I had come across the Pop-Eyed Popper but don't have one; maybe it should go on a wishlist. One trick deck I have that wasn't mentioned here is a Mene Tekel deck; I can't say if it's better than the others or not, but I have a book that included tricks for it, and I bought it for that reason.
Great suggestion !!!
David. I just want to say that I love your channel. You are the first reviewer I go to when I hear about a new trick, and you are very often the source where I discover new tricks. Probably 40% of the tricks in my collection are because of your reviews. So from one "non performing, enthusiast magician" to another, thank you!
Glad you like them!
Many thanks David. Really good idea to make a video to summarise the best decks. Gives food for thought and also a good reminder to go back to the forgotten magic drawers! 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Great review. When I used to work for Magic Masters many years ago, we had a package deal we sold a ton of. It contained the wizard, svengali, invisible and a rising card deck. Great decks.
Very cool!
I missed the heavy light deck, as a former Hypnotist I like that one❤
yea, but I've never owned one
I usually have a Marked Stripper deck in my bag. Very versatile.
And it takes just a couple of "cuts" to reset all the orientations (after you get the feel for it).
nice
Where did you get the Marked Stripper deck? This sounds awesome in case you miss the orientation in the deck, you have a backup plan.
Enjoyed the list. Lots of fun remembering some that I haven't used in a while. I would however, have included the MENE TEKEL deck to your list. Thanks for the channel!
it was #12
Terrific, terrific, terrific review! I have not heard of the #9, #10 decks and I will be looking to purchase these also. Love the spectacular mind blowing routines I am able to magically perform with my magic trick decks. Thank you David!
Glad it was helpful!
My all time fave deck is Kidz Kards from Richard Pinner.
People love it!
Awesome!
@@magicorthodoxy get one and try it on normal people :) 😀
I dont know any normal people 🤣
Great Post!! Kids Kards is a great too, basically a MP deck w/ marks for a 3rd phase. Really unique fun trick :)
:D
I love using the one way forcing deck. I use it comedically then switch it out for a normal deck on the off beat. Great stuff and great list👍🤓👍
The ten yo trick that introduced to me is pretty sick too
A one way forcing deck, is often the easiest way to fool magicians, especially if they know you are good with cards. They are expecting something devious, and will almost always miss the easiest most straight forward method LOL
Timecard (discontinued) by Gordon Bean is a favourite of mine to perform. I've also been performing the ID for over 50 years & it is also a solid piece of card magic.
oh nice
The 52 to 1 deck is amazing.
#truth
I do a routine with a stripped deck with a blindfold AND a cloth as a reveal. Always works and strong effect.
oh cool
one i love using is the 52-to-1 deck! also i don't feel like its a terrible thing if the spectator messes up the orientation of your tapered deck since it's designed to be easy to fix, unless you mean that you lose the setup you already had but i wouldn't hand it out if you cared about the way the cards are oriented.
great suggestion
Lots of these are more utility that have multiple routines, which makes them so great, however have you made a top 10 or even 20 of the best single routine trick decks. I.e. Quantum Deck, blizzard, 52 to 1, etc...I know penguin did one similar. Just curious to your opinion.
Another variant I like is David Regal's "Prophecy Deck" . Also a nice use of a 1 way is Anneman's "Mind or Muscle" effect.
YES all good suggestions
I'm a poker player and when looking for some new cards I saw the invisible deck and it got me hooked on magic and blows everyone away too.
:D
Great list of classics! I'd add:
Mind-Power Deck by John Kennedy
52-1 deck by Wayne Fox
Cheek-to-cheek deck
Paul Curry's 'Touch' deck is also great (if it counts?)
Thanks for sharing!!
Great list and loving "The Code" and in the spirit of caring and sharing my favourite Trick Deck is "The Borrowed Deck". Start your performance of ledgermain by subtly convincing your audience that you have 'borrowed' this deck and are 'going to try something';. Think about it. Try it. Cults have been founded on less.
Great tip!
Ive probably got more mileage out of my svengali deck. It's just so versatile. And card to anywhere still blows minds with this deck. I have like 3 invisible decks, absolutely great trick, but I'm still pretty slow on which side to grab, and then remembering the code. It does take a guy like me alot of practice. I also like the blank deck. First a complete deck...then a blank deck! It really plays big. Thank you David for the wonderful review! Take care my brother!!
Very nice!
For anyone wondering what R and S, or L and S are:
R and S: Rectangular and Spectacular
L and S: Low and Slow
Thant.s incorrect. He is trying to fool you.
The real answer is
R and S is Round and Square
L and S is Light and Shade
Awesome video man! Building my card trick repetoir and have been looking for trick decks to buy
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the video, David. Reverse Svengali is a terrific variation on the SvenDeck, as it allows one to riffle shuffle the deck
Great tip!
You can do a Riffle Shuffle with a regular sven too
Mastermind deck id a magician fooler 🎉 i have to get one. Honorable mention Koran deck❤ thanks David 👍
My pleasure!
@@magicorthodoxy brainwave deck is pretty awesome also✨ Svengali my favorite I would say. Cheers ✨
Great list! Another favorite of mine is the McCombical Deck.
I have that one also - got to talk to Billy about it during his lifetime
@@magicorthodoxy So awesome!
great list David … a couple that are new to me that I need to check out .. thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
I would have included the Mene Tekel deck (especially for the BBM tutorials) and the N5 deck (great for poker routines)
Cool, thanks
I won't ask about the codes, I'll research it later, but I will ask this: how can I improve my tricks, in general, not just card tricks. I am always concerned about the angle even if I never actually messed up a trick because of it. And I have one more question. Using gimmicks, marked or special stuff when doing magic tricks makes me less "magical"? What I mean is I know that some magicians don't need gimmicks, they manage just fine with what they have around them.
P.S. thanks for everything you teach us!!!
don't listen to the critics - there is nothing wrong with using gimmicks
I love the codes! My mom gets mad at me when we watch Fool Us because I get the codes sometimes and won't explain them lol
lol
Any Card by Richard Sanders is genius. Is that considered a trick deck or just a trick - not sure.
it kinda only does the one thing, right?
Now I've watched your video on the four Aces from Jun 15 I've ordered a Bicycle stripper deck .Cheers !
nice !!!!
A few more: the Multi- Effect Deck (or Multitude Deck) (check out Vincent Hedan's work on this), the Beyond Stebbins Deck (Craig Petty), the Mene-Tekel Deck (& variations)
all great suggestions !!!
I love my new Quantum Deck! Also, shoutout to the Rising Deck. Another trick I first saw from David Blaine.
Very cool!
Just wanted to mention that Daryl had a series of "Essentials in Magic" DVDs with instructions and lots of cool ideas for: Mental Photo, Invisible, Stripper and Svengali decks (maybe more). And for great Mental Photo routine, it's worth checking out David Hira's Penguin Live. I use it all the time!!
Daryl was a king among men
I 2nd the comment regarding Kids Kards. Yes the mechanics used are covered in the decks you reviewed. But it has to be one of the greatest decks/card tricks ever made!
:D
I've heard of most of those. Though some I didn't know what they did. Thanks.
Have you ever reviewed or heard of the "Charge-it" card trick? I used to have it. I got it 25-30 years ago. The shop owner showed it to me and I just had to have it, but my favorite purchase(s) I loved and still have is Scotch and Soda, along with Hopping Halves. Thanks to Bobo's book those coins are quite useful.
That would make for a great viewer question. What are the top coin tricks? I know you're not a coin guy, though.
great idea
Ernesto Melero has an excellent invisible deck using a regular deck. The download goes on sale on Vanishing Inc a few times a year.
oh cool !!!!
These decks are very fun to use got some of these also these ones I have in my Collection 👇 are fun as well
cheek to cheek
Haunted deck
Fade away deck
great ideas !!!
Great list! i also love the Omega deck from Max Major, lots of mileage from that personally!
Totally agree!
Quantum deck. You can do mind-blowing miracles with it.
Hey David! Loved the video. At 10:30 you mentioned that it’s possible to create a killer ACAAN trick with the mirage deck. Shouldn’t that be more of CAAN instead? I would love to check out books that would cover ACAAN tricks with mirage or svengali decks if you can call off any books at the top of your head
I performed it over in the member's section
I tried a mirage deck on my younger daughter and she noticed the R+S as she drew the card. Of course, she and I have been learning tricks together so she handles cards more than most, but it was my first attempt with something other than an invisible deck with the similar concept. Should I keep R+S out of spectators' hands completely?
You should do best Thought of Card Decks. There would be a couple of overlap, but there are some great mentalist decks out there
thought of card decks? what's an example?
Great video, and amazed you have a button-down shirt!
I got an entire closet full ... plus maybe 7 suits
David, one of my fave trick decks is White Bikes.
NICE !!!!
I honestly think that “any card” by Richard Sanders is one of the best tricked decks on the market!
its super awesome
I don't really like tricked decks, except for the stripper (there's ton of material on Ryan Plunkett's book) and Vincent Hedan's Multitude deck, which a LnS deck that can be also used as a regular deck
agreed
David, this was a fantastic decks review and you did not force anything on us😂😂👍👍👍👍🤜🤛😊😊
😁
Thanks for keeping magic a secret.
LOL
These sort of great lists will guarantee you loads of views, keep counting, and more please.
will do
Forcing deck like the Al Koran deck should also be included to this list.
:D
Ps As well as the invisible deck I have a few marked decks ,which if any of the other decks here would be suitable for a beginner like me pl?
didja see this one? czcams.com/video/n99gQE60d1c/video.html
Have you looked at Brent Brauns "position impossible"?
I need to !!!
@@magicorthodoxy it looks so cool and deceptive
Nice informative video...great review.
Glad you liked it
I think an honourable mention whoever likes parlour/close up hopping is Phoenix deck by Joshu Jay.
The Phoenix deck are just playing cards by Cardshark, that come in various gaffs like marked cards or their double decker Phoenix cards. Are you referring to the Trojan Deck by Joshua Jay, which uses the cards from the Pheonix deck?
@@BrandonJPearce I’m referring to the deck he used on pen and teller. R S “out of sight”
@@bilalturkan8004 Gotcha 👍👍
Would you consider mnemonica or other stack decks in this category?
well, those are "normal" decks, right?
Better than invisible deck. Richard Sanders Any Card. This is a gem.
yep - reviewed it in the member's section - awesome
This was a great follow up to the last one. My favorite trick deck is probably the stripper deck. Maybe the next one could be on deck stacks? Awesome video!!
that'd be just my talking head with no pictures !!! LOL
@@magicorthodoxy True true unless there were pictures that represented the order of chaos as it were. But also the talking head is why we show up! The reviews are bonus!!
When I first started with card magic I bought a few stripper decks that allowed me to do amazing things with basically no skill. Now after years of performing with regular decks and improving on my sleights, I just ordered 15 marked stripper decks from Penguin. So devious to ring that in to a performance.
@@DavidM-lj5yv SO COOL
52 to 1 deck and Avalanche by Paul Harris and the much hyped quantum deck ... none of these probably deserve to be in the top ten, but worth considering
thank you !!!
Great video. So many great gimmick decks these days.
Couldn't agree more!
Mastermind deck is fantastic 🎉 I can't find find monte Cristo deck anywhere online. Is there another deck similar David please? Mastermind tok expensive for me.
Some of the things you can also do with a Svengali deck and a deck switch
agreed
As someone who’s relatively new to magic, I had to really think about the two codes here.
Great video as always! You’ve listed a few decks here that I hadn’t heard of, and definitely given me some new things to look out for! Love how simple and fooling a marked deck is, and the Svengali deck is probably my favourite deck on here, with the Invisible Deck a close second. Not overly fond of the mirage deck yet but I’m sure that’s just because I haven’t figured out how to utilise it properly instead of just pulling out the Svengali or Invisible decks.
:D
I would say that the 52 to 1 deck is pretty good and would stand in my top 10
I agree. Just love the 52 to 1 deck.
Yeah, anyone reading this who do not have the 52 t0 1 deck, I would highly reccommend it. The effect is just so beatiful and impossible!
I love the 52 to 1 deck. I have a couple other gimmicked decks that do a similar thing-- But I always go back to 52 to 1. I actually own 5 of them just so I never run out. Such a great effect.
@@DavidM-lj5yv I just watched this video on the 52 to 1 deck.
I'm definitely getting it haha!!
czcams.com/video/4cyAaxmjsoc/video.html
Hi David, first I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Menetekel deck since you reviewed The Menetekel Deck Project by Liam Montier about a year ago (I’m also glad since I want to keep that one for myself!). Second, how about Card-Shark’s Phoenix Double Decker decks (code word DD cards!)?
i've heard people like them
@@magicorthodoxy Oh, forgot to mention, thanks so much for the review/list of trick decks! I especially was interested in you mentioning Ralph W. Hull, I never heard of him. I searched and can’t find any of his books. Certainly would like to peruse them. Any chance of your doing a “book” review in the future?
I'd like to point out another honorable mention that really isn't a "gimmicked" deck but a common deck type with a built in "gimmick" and that is the one way back. It may not seem something that would fool anyone but I have baffled layman--and at least one magician--with a borrowed OWB deck, a quick sorting cull, and some subtlety. How many "gimmicks" can you borrow? lol. Great vid as alway.
good call
Can you pick up the top card on the monte cristo/mastermind deck and have it be the force card.
What deck is used for impossible location? Mastermind deck?
Divine and conquer, one trick but very powerful
true
Good Stuff.
Thanks!
Great list! I love my stripper deck. It improves so many tricks. I created a very clean cannibal kings routine with one and it is hard for me to go back to doing it any other way. Whenever I think about simplifying tricks so that I can focus on presentation, I reach for my stripper deck.
:D
There knockout deck I always thought was pretty great
:D
Next Video Idea...Name of top 20 amazing advanced card tricks which a magician should keep on tips
keep on tips?
@@magicorthodoxy keep on Finger tips
Hi magicorthodoxy! I'm a beginner/hobbyist and have trouble with dexterity in manipulation. I've played drums for most of my life and my hands are, for lack of a better word, "dumb"! I particularly have issues with breaks and think I may be missing something. Could you recommend a good book, course, video, etc. on things like breaks, one hand cuts, false shuffles, etc. Nothing on the cardistry level but just good tools for someone to have in their library. Appreciate any feed back. My aching hands thank you as well! :)

52 to 1 deck!
:D
How about Hugo Shelly's Insight Deck?
great suggestion
Please do a review for Marvelous Multiplying Box by Matthew Wright ..
i'd love to
What about the Menetekel deck and the Koran Force deck?
both great
Mene tekel is a good one.
Yes it is
Get Sharky!
😀
I’ve know about the invisible deck way before blaine.
:D
Not gimmicked would be Paul Harris Las Vegas Leaper
ahhhh
Come on everyone know they stand for lasagna and spaghetti / rocky road and strawberry. Yes magic is powered by food. Surprise!
:D
Cool
😀
I like the stripper decks that are also marked
YES !!!
Some lovely entries David🏆🏆🏆
THANKS !!!!
How about the 50-50 deck.
great suggestion
A few complaints: 1) I could see the invisible deck, so obviously, you got a dud there; 2) was that really the mirage deck or was it my mind playing tricks on me...; 3) a stripper deck? really? Kids watch this channel...
And dagnabbit! I can't help it: L&S=Laverne & Shirley and R&S=Reconnaissance & Surveillance
There it is. Really sorry, but I couldn't help it. Feel free to delete my post. ...Sniff...
(Really, I love the channel and everything you do! Thanks for this excellent overview! Note to self: I have to stop drinking so much coffee...)
HILARIOUS
Sven, obv. That said, it makes no sense to list all the available trick decks and be all coy about other magic products/methods used to implement some of these decks. You do know they sell that stuff in exactly the same shops, right? OK, I'd probably put the Marked deck higher, but I'd put the Sven above the Invisible Deck.
Fair enough
How about the Mene Tekel deck!
great deck
In my opinion as a magician one of the best trick decks is the stripper deck
we agree
Split deck.
good one
i cant remember where this came from but here's a fun idea:
1.take an invisible deck and get it all oriented so it looks the same as a normal deck.
2. Get a force card from a normal deck and reverse it somewhere near the middle of your invisible deck
3. Have your spectator place the deck behind their back and turn over any card into the middle
4. They return the deck and you spread it to reveal their force card
Nice !!!
....I love your reviews brother. I really do. I really like that you want to maintain the secrets and don't want anyone talking about or revealing the secrets....I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything....but I feel like you may have unintentionally revealed the entire secret/gaff to the stripper deck. By saying how they are made, what they do and what they accomplish...lol. either way. Keep these reviews coming! I'm loving it.
maybe, but I doubt it's that closely guarded as a secret, google "stripper deck" and see what comes up - LOL
I'm absolutely surprised that you didn't include a 52 shades deck. With that deck you can perform mind bowling effects in just a walk around
that's a great one to
Amazing vid for upcoming magicians.
Sometimes while performing mentalism many ask to readind propless.
I request you to make
Vid on propless effects
