Card Shark

Printed at US Playing Cards on Bicycle cardstock, cut in the traditional way (face up) for easy shuffles, faros, better handling.

The Phoenix Deck uses the standard faces of Bicycle playing cards but takes them a step further for professional magicians. With large format aces a better visibility is guaranteed even on greater distances, but for all who want to stay with the "old style" aces... they are also included

Available in red or blue.

Card-Shark meets Ted Lesley. This is a dream come true for all magicians who love to use a marked deck. The markings are based on the ideas of Ted Lesley, are extremely visual compared to all other marked decks on the market as they perfectly blend into the design of the Phoenix backs.

So far every magician who saw the Marked Phoenix Deck the first time and searched for the markings, had to smile after a while when he found it. You will smile also, promised!

All markings are situated at the same spot right in the corner, so even the slightest opened fan will allow you to read the marking. If the back design gets into view, you will be able to spot the value. Can't get easier!

Only available with red Phoenix back cards, comes in regular card case with black seal.

108 Thin Phoenix Cards. Looks like a regular Phoenix deck. Backs are marked for additional handling.

For the first time ever you can get a deck containing 104 cards that matches perfectly a professionally produced card deck. This allows new effects never possible before because a spectator will never expect that underneath the first 52 cards (54 with Jokers) is waiting another complete deck of playing cards.

The cards of the Double-Decker are so ultra-thin that two complete decks including Jokers fit into a regular cardcase!

Design, playing card size and corner roundings exactly match the regular Phoenix Deck

Cardcase of the Double-Decker is produced at US Playing Card Company to match the cardcase of the regular Phoenix Deck and allows an easy deckswitch

The backs are marked like the Phoenix Marked Deck and therefore allows additional handlings

The Double-Decker can be ordered in several combinations and allows applications acording to the Phil Deck, Trilogy etc.

Roughing the cards will add a little thickness to the cards, but still 104 cards fit into the cardcase. For easily roughing the cards we invented the Phoenix Spray Grid that holds the thin cards in their position during the preparation

Glueing cards in pairs is also possible, the added thickness does not prevent to put 108 cards into the cardcase.

Poker size. Red or blue back.

This is the cleanest approach to a Brainwave Deck ever.

You take a red deck out of a red card case (also available in blue back version). You can show all faces as you really have a complete deck. Let your spectators name any card they want, or - even better - ask three different spectators for three different cards.

No force, no stooges, no sleights!

You spread the deck to find the three named cards. Take out the three cards and place them in front of the deck. Turn over the deck and spread it openly to show a complete red deck. Then - one by one - turn over the chosen cards to show that they are all blue!

This is by far the cleanest, fairest and easiest Brainwave effect. Other presentations are possible, perhaps you can also reveal a single card only. You could even spot the selected cards from the back as the backs are marked. Your creativity will be your limitation.

All the cards you need to adapt the classic effects. All cards are also available as own decks, but if you would like to start with a small assortment, this should be your choice.

The Phoenix Gaffs Starter Kit contains: 10 x blank face cards with red Phoenix back, 10 x blank face cards with blue Phoenix back, 10 x double backed cards with red Phoenix backs on both sides, 10 x double backed cards with blue Phoenix backs on both sides, 10 x double backed cards with red and blue Phoenix backs on each side, 1 x Phoenix Joker with blank back, 1 x Ace of Spades with blank back, 1 x Ace of Hearts with blank back, 1 x Ace of Clubs with blank back, 1 x Ace of Diamonds with blank back.

A card is selected and returned to the pack which is then shuffled. The magician then feels the backs of the cards one at a time and is able to find the selected card by sensing which card is warmer from the spectators touch! The selected card is then shuffled into the pack again only to jump to the top of the deck. The cards are then cut once placing the selected card in the middle of the pack - but say the magic words and the selected card is on top again!

The famous trick deck that does all the work for you - now in Phoenix Deck quality. Handcut and corner rounded in best Card-Shark quality.

Comes in regular card case.

You remove an "Invisible Deck" of cards from your pocket.

Have a spectator shuffle the deck, then cut it. Now, have him "remove" one card from the deck and "show" it to everyone....keep in mind the deck isn't really there!

Tell the spectator to turn his card face down and replace it in the pack. Now, you bring out a "visible pack." Have the spectator name his card -- the one he selected from the "Invisible Deck". Run through the visible cards until you find one face down card. And, sure enough, it is the card selected by the spectator!

No forces-no sleights.

The magician asks the spectator to think of any card, and name it out loud. A deck of cards is removed from the case, and spread face-down until one face-up card is seen to be the spectator's card! And the spectator's card even has a different colored back.

No complex moves or sleight of hand is used. The card is freely chosen, no force of an kind! This is a real reputation maker.

Red-backed decks only.

A card is selected and returned to the deck. The magician then lets the spectator shuffle the deck completely losing their card in the middle of the pack. The deck is then handed back to the magician who cuts the cards one time and the selected card magically rises to the top of the deck! The card is then placed back in the middle of the pack and shuffled again by the spectator. Magically the magician takes the pack and removes the spectators selected card right out of the middle of the deck! This effect can be immediately repeated with a different card! Perfect for beginners as this deck helps to perform incredible feats of card magic which will make you look like a professional sleight-of-hand artist. This gives confidence to proceed in magic.

The ultimate card control! Direct, simple, undetectable...

The Phoenix Texas Card can be added to any standard Phoenix Deck and allows the easiest and cleanest controls you could do. The Texas Cards are longer or wider than regular cards and therefore - when inserted into a regular deck - allow 100% safe cuts on the short or long side of the pack, depending on your favorite card handling.

Let the spectator handle the deck, he will not notice anything unusual about it!

This little gimmick is used by the best magicians worldwide, Tommy Wonder loved to use them for his Tamed Card effect. Comes with 4 random faced long cards or wide cards in Phoenix back design.

Christoph Borer, the inventor, released this effect years ago but only in the German speaking countries where it gathered a great reputation. We fooled all great names in magic in Atlanta, San Diego and at the Magic Castle, Hollywood. The method is so brilliant you'll love to perform it.

This is a great effect and can be performed on stage, parlour and closeup. Remember everything happens in the spectators hands. The deck can be examined and the effect can be immediately repeated with a different outcome!

The Effect

Alpha-deck memory routine by Luke Jermay and the classic Spell Binder by Bob Hummer.

Includes full instructions and a deck of Phoenix Parlour Alphabet Marked cards.

You show your spectators several masterpieces of art printed on playing cards. One of the paintings is the famous Mona Lisa. After showing all four paintings, you point out, that one of the paintings is a forgery. When you show Mona Lisa a second time, she is suddenly holding a Bicycle® playing card in her hand. Turning the card around, the spectators are surprised to see Mona Lisa painted from behind. She has to be the fake! But that is not all, imagine the shock when Mona Lisa reveals she is holding the same card a spectator has previously chosen!

The Ultimate A.C.A.A.N. - Any Card At Any Number!

Imagine this perfect effect: A spectator selects and remembers a playing card by freely touching any card in the deck with his index finger. Another spectator names a random number between 1 and 52. The chosen card is found in the exact desired position of the deck.

You love the "Ultimate Monte" by Michael Skinner? Me too!

With this card set you get the possibility to perform this effect with this new "vintage feeling". Different from all the other cards of the Gypsy Deck these cards have printed indexes to make this effect possible. New with routine by Mark Elsdon.

Three Card Monte with 4 cards! A classic effect with a most surprising ending. Just imagine you had the abilities of a cardsharp. You show three blank cards and a money card. Even though you handle and mix the cards slowly and in the cleanest, fairest manner, the money card appears in the most unexpected place. On Bicycle card stock

The magician shows a deck of 52 different cards. Different movie titles ('Pretty Woman', 'E.T', 'Jaws' etc.) are boldly written black on the red back of each card. A 'movie collectors club' prediction card is placed on the table in full view. The magician says: 'Since I´m a huge movie fan, I wrote the names of my 52 favourite movies of all time on the back of each playing card. I did this for a reason though. If I can´t decide which film to watch, I just pick a card and go with whichever one is on the back.' The magician continues: 'I´m now even able to 'predict' a movie&allow me to show you what I mean.' The magician spreads the deck face-up and a spectator is asked to pick ANY card they see at random (NO force). The spectator´s freely chosen card is placed face-up next to the tabled prediction. Magician: 'If the movie represented by your freely chosen card matches the movie which is on my prediction card, wouldn´t that be impressive?'

The prediction is turned face-up by the spectator, to reveal the movie 'Casablanca'. Next, the spectator´s card is turned face-down only to reveal that 'Jurassic Park' is printed there. It seems the magician screwed up, as the prediction and the spectator´s chosen card don´t match. However, the magician waves the whole deck of card over the spectator´s card, and when the deck is turned face-down and spread out the whole deck of cards is changed into a 'JURASSIC DECK' of cards, matching the spectator´s freely chosen movie card!! But there´s even more:

When the cards are placed back into the box, even the card box has changed into the theme of the chosen movie!!!

The new family member of the Vintage Series, finally in poker size. Based on an Anglo-American deck of circa. 1850 and a French card deck of 1810 this deck brings the past to life.

The cards show small indices that were invented around 1890. Several years later these indices grew bigger to their size they have today. The cards seem to have seen many years pass by as they look old and worn. But in fact they are absolutely new and printed on the best playing card stock available (3-layer paper, linen structure, high flexibility, the same that you know from your favourite Bicycle deck).

The backs are marked in a very subtle way so that - if you like - you can easily find out which card is selected. Only those in the know will notice the secret. All the above features make this deck perfect for magicians.

For the first time you will get both the French and Anglo-American court cards with this deck. By switching out the 12 picture cards you completely change the appearance of this deck to match your style of magic.

Available in red or blue back.

This could be the alternative if you are interested in having both variations of the Heirloom Deck - with French and Anglo-American court cards - but do not want to spend your money for two decks.

With these 12 court cards you can easily change the look of your French version of the Heirloom Deck. Just replace the 12 court cards with this set.

Available with red or blue backs.
