Top 10 BEST trick decks for magicians!

[@penguinmagicshop]

Here's the real question, is the Omni Deck a trick deck? Let us know what you think!

[@i-sarank8505]

In my opinion, no. But I love Omni Deck.🥰😍🔥

[@patrickdunachie1824]

The Phantom Deck is for sure, and I'd call the Omni Deck a trick deck too.

[@07904905876]

I don't use omni, I use go blocks - same principle

[@dustywaynemusic6297]

No I don't think so but I love it

[@L_bochin]

Absolutely not.

[@davesheppard8797]

Hi guys, Dave from England here. I really love Cardtoon, especially the latest version. How about the "Omega deck" by Max Major?? You don't even touch the deck yourself, the spectator does everything, and yet you know exactly which card they chose and can tell them once the cards are back in the tuc. They take the cards out of the tuc case, check they are all different, mix them all up, and then in secret they select a card in the deck. The card is not removed from the deck, it's just looked at. Then they replace the deck in the tuc case. You have their card written on a piece of paper in your hand, which you have been handling since before the trick began! Best wishes, Dave.

glad to see these top 10 lists coming back!

[@penguinmagicshop]

Yeah for sure! We remodeled the theater and had a hard time filming them for a little bit.

[@samuelhodges3119]

It's good that you do these videos. Sometimes the community miss what's out there. Tricks get better exposure this way. Thanks, Penguin Magic!

[@tonybp]

The most amazing reactions I've had have been with the Invisible Deck.

[@penguinmagicshop]

So good!

[@skakdosmer]

Learning the secret of the svengali deck did not blow my mind. But seeing it used for the first time most certainly did! It was a different version than the one you describe, but working on the same principle. And when the entire deck turned blank on both sides, it fooled me so badly that I was almost surprised my head didn't explode. I've never seen any trick that got me even half as much! It was in a shopping centre with lots of indoor shops, streets and squares, where a magician was showing tricks for passers-by's and also selling tricks, and he was very good.

[@endgame64]

Hope to see more of these trick and talent showcases from Penguin Magic!

[@studlyhungwell]

The Mirage Deck is absolutely solid.

[@penguinmagicshop]

Yes it is, that one didn't quite make the list this time but it is great.

[@beef623]

I'm not sure why Svengali would be on the list but Mirage wouldn't. Seems backwards to me.

[@studlyhungwell]

@@beef623 My guess is that Svengali is a classic and Mirage is a variation. Mirage deck for me is the epitome of self working. I've been super cocky before but super successful in allowing the spectator to riffle shuffle and cut the deck for a pseudo Ambitious routine. It went over really well. Can't do that with a Sven. 😂

[@chrisdoesscience1542]

My Favorite is the Invisible Deck. It's so simple to use and although it only has one effect, you can twist that effect into a lot of presentations. I do a mentalism act where I use the Invisible deck to predict the spectator's choice of card.

[@penguinmagicshop]

That sounds great!!!

[@siebachnate]

Love these videos. Please keep them coming!

[@07904905876]

I always have a marked deck on me, two actually. Penguin and marksman. Penguin for general strolling and marksman for full on routining

[@super_magic7]

yes!!! Invisible deck is the absolutely best card!🍀

[@i-sarank8505]

Love this🔥🔥🔥

[@penguinmagicshop]

You're the best!

[@RobertBallMagician]

Hey this is a wonderful upload. What I did not see is the deck which you show all the cards in mixed up order, then when you spread the deck again its in new deck order or all the cards have separated all red cards and black cards. Names of these decks????

[@DaNinja60]

Svegali is my favorite and I've even added a magic card case to start the trick and end it with both 21 cards trick and Simese twins to find their final card.

[@jeffarab4947]

Svengali and invisible deck love em but thrs great ones triumph pop eye popper. I use Svengali the most can do so many awesome classics and never NEVER CHANGE THE DECK TO THE FORCE CARD

[@stewedfishproductions7959]

Exactly ! As soon as you change the whole deck to the force card, people KNOW you are using a 'trick' deck ! Much better to appear to be manipulating the cards through 'skill'... Also, use a Sven deck for a 'one-off', powerful trick _(the specs just thinking you are showing a trick with an ordinary deck);_ Such as a 'card stab' location - Chosen card appears at any number position in deck or a mechanical 'toy' locates a chosen card etc.

[@jeffarab4947]

@@stewedfishproductions7959 yup exactly man it is a great deck for cool effects I love it

[@vinodfurtado]

Name of the trick that you mentioned is coming up with penguin ??

[@penguinmagicshop]

There are a couple coming up that use gimmicked decks. Erik specifically mentions one that he has been working with John Bannon on.

[@themagicofchriswheel7751]

Personally, yea ID is sick, great effect, and if you review the literature you can find alot of really great uses for it besides the classic ID routine. HOWEVER, out of this list, the Marked Deck is going to be up there for me as #1. I say this because with the penguin mark deck it makes it an every day worker/use deck which is invaluable.

[@samwright738]

Tossed out deck is my favorite trick deck of all time

[@luke9119]

If making your own Svengali, is there a sweet spot for how much shorter you make the force, rather like there are sweet spots for strippers? I find purchased Svengalis also chop all the length off one side, so it’s painfully obvious that the printing is off-centre.

[@penguinmagicshop]

It's going to be different for everybody but you want to take off as little as possible. At the same time you want to make it usable so that you aren't flipping to the wrong cards. Many bicycle decks are printed off center. Some of these decks make it very easy to create a Svengali. If the border is wider on one side then that's the side that you cut.

[@luke9119]

@@penguinmagicshop amazing. Thanks. I’ll experiment with as little as possible

[@jaytpmc]

Prism with Prism + gets my vote.

[@aimilios-christos363]

I would definitely have to say SPECTRUM is one of my favorites tricks!!

[@penguinmagicshop]

Such a great piece of magic!

[@dustywaynemusic6297]

Bought my 1st Svengali when I was like 10 at 6 Flags lol

[@MadPaperPeople]

i just ordered 8 pocket nightmare and next morning the news broke Max passed away... RIP ...

[@KingO.K]

I have 11 out of the 17 mentioned decks!

[@penguinmagicshop]

Holy cow! Which do you use the most?

[@jasonwithani1948]

Does Any Card by R.Sanders count?...

[@penguinmagicshop]

Yeah, it just didn't get enough votes this time 👍

[@AldoRMontalvo]

How can I have the Harlan cup of coffee?

[@eriktait434]

You must duel me in single combat at the top of a mountain for it.

[@GibsonsVapeShop]

I guess I need to place another order......

[@dylanyoung4938]

Let’s gooo I’m excited

[@Dimitris.Papastamatis]

I’m a slight of hand addict but I have all of them and don’t use them as much

[@penguinmagicshop]

Wow! Do you have a favorite still?

[@Dimitris.Papastamatis]

@@penguinmagicshop divine and conquer is a beast but as a utility gaff deck stripper is the way to go for me

[@freemagicfun]

I go completely the other way in ranking. For me, the stripper, svengali, marked, and invisible are the best. I tend to stay away from the single-trick decks. For single tricks I will opt for double backers and double facers in a regular deck, before I buy a specific single-trick deck. 😎

[@stevenhoog1]

PLEASE ANSWER IF YOU CAN.......EVERY single deck of marked cards I have ever used are printed UPSIDE DOWN from MY view. It would be SUCH a pleasure if I could read the cards CORRECTLY printed the other way. The marks farthest from me are printed right. But the marks on MY end are always upside down and it just really makes me FUME....WHY??? I bought that 30$ deck of cards and the marks are INGENIOUSLY put in the design but they are SO VERY TINY I cannot even see them... I'm using Ted Leslies transfers right now but it takes SO MUCH TIME to create them but better than reading upside down. WHY DO THEY NOT FIX THIS????

[@gaganbatra66]

Use DMC elites

[@Mrmademagic]

The new Copag Svengali is the best Svengali I've ever owned 7 bucks on penguin

[@jeffarab4947]

I love svengali it does hit hard on people and so many tricks. I wouldn't put it down but I fool alot of people. How about avalanche that's a cool one few great tricks

[@lind_]

a premiere without a live chat? aw

[@penguinmagicshop]

Yeah, not sure what happened to that. KZbin was weird on our side this time.

OCD deck

[@glennrudolph]

Just went to your website. Pretty much everything out of stock. Boo

[@stevenhoog1]

A GREAT effect to do with a stripper that you wouldn't think of is a TRUMPH routine. Truly mixed FU and FD and after a cut they all face the same way....There is a fantastic "trick" deck is you bring out a small card size envelope and a deck is shuffled cut and shown in random order. You give them the deck and they deal down cards until they want to stop. THE CARD THEY STOPPED AT MATCHES YOUR PREDICTION.....I forgot the name Does anyone know the name??? Every other card is ONE OF FOUR DUPLICATES....say AC, 4H, KS, 9D.....every other card is one of these four cards so no matter where they stop either the dealt card or the top card of the deck is ONE of these 4 cards. They are spaced so far apart it isn't noticed,,,,,,I would not use an ACE or QUEEN or KING.bc they aremore noticed even though they are every 10 cards apart.your prediction are double faced so you dump it out so the right side shows.

[@stewedfishproductions7959]

Sounds like a Koran Deck/Dream Deck/5 Star Miracle Deck or similar...?
