Brainwave Deck

An Effect so Incredible, It Must be REAL Magic!

Years ago, I attended an evening of stage magic by Harry Blackstone, Jr. In the center of the show, Harry began to perform the Ashra Levitation with his lovely wife Gay. When she started to lie down on the couch, a leg from the couch broke off. Luckily, Harry caught Gay before she fell to the floor. She gracefully walked off stage. As the curtains closed, Harry walked to the front of the stage, reach inside his jacket and effectively performed the Brainwave effect to an auditorium of 2000 people. WOW.

Later that evening, I had the good fortune of spending some time with Harry and asked him how he just happened to have a Brainwave deck with him. He said that you never know when an effect may break or fail, regardless of how careful you are maintaining your props. Consequently, he ALWAYS carried this deck of cards with him just in case! It provided him with an immediate opportunity to keep the show flowing smoothly, while the stagehands and crew reset the stage behind the curtain with the next illusion. Even since that evening, I thought if it's good enough for Harry Blackstone Jr., it's good enough for me. Now I always have a Brainwave deck with me when performing.

The effect is simple, yet stunning with not just one performing climax, but two. A card is merely thought of by a spectator. The magician asks the spectator to imaging turning that card face up in an imaginary deck. The magician displays a card case to the audience and keeps it in full view. The card case never leaves the audience's sight. The audience member announces the card he thought of moments before. The magician opens the card case, removes the card deck and sorts through the cards. He finds one and only one card that is reversed in the face down deck. It matches exactly the card thought of by the spectator. That is climax number one.

Then the magician tells the audience that to prove there was no manipulation by him while sorting through the cards, this card is also the only card in the red backed deck, with a blue back. That is climax number two. (Although not shown, the face up card in the photograph is the card with the blue back.)

You receive a deck of Bicycle Rider Back playing cards and complete instructions. You can choose Brainwave from poker or jumbo sizes, making this effect suitable for the close-up magician as well as the stage entertainer. Many performers purchase both sizes to be ready for all types of shows.

Invisible Deck

InvisDek

David Blaine performed this close-up illusion on the streets of New York City in front of millions of people during his recent nationally televised special. David simply stopped a man walking down a street and placed a closed card box in his hand. He asked him to think of any card and visualize it turning over. When David removed the cards from the box, one card and only one card was reversed in the deck. It was the spectator’s chosen card! The spectator’s reaction was "…Mind-boggling and Amazing".

You may perform the Invisible Deck as described above or with a comedy flair as originated by Eddie Field and Don Alan. The Field/Alan version has an imaginary deck shuffled and a card freely selected from that imaginary deck. A real deck is produced and the chosen card is immediately shown face down in the deck. Either method of presentation is easy to do and very effective. The Invisible Deck is sold complete with instructions.

Locked Deck

The spectator's card vanishes from his hand even though
he locked it in the deck himself with a genuine padlock!

The Locked Deck is destined to become one of your favorites. Anytime a spectator can select a card, immediately lock it in the deck with a genuine padlock, then visually verify his card is no longer in the deck and finally find his card someplace else . . . this has to be a winning effect. The beauty of the Locked Deck is its simplicity. Consider this . . .

The magic happens in the spectators hand. They place the lock on the deck, not the magician.
The deck is never out of sight.
The deck is never switched.
Nothing is removed from the deck, yet the card is absolutely seen to have vanished.
Everything is self contained.
The lock is genuine and ungimmicked.

Honestly, quality magic doesn't have to cost a fortune to be easy to do and astound your audience. The locked deck has been a reputation maker for many magicians. Comes complete with deck of Bicycle Rider Back poker size playing cards, lock with keys and instructions.
