WHAT ARE SPECIALIST DECKS?

Not every deck is designed simply to look good in a fan.

Specialist Decks are playing cards built around a specific principle, gimmick or performance application, giving the performer capabilities that aren't possible with a standard deck.

From classic systems such as the Svengali and Mene Tekel, to Invisible, Brainwave and Breather Decks, each one is designed with a particular purpose in mind. The underlying mechanics may be subtle, but they can create incredibly strong effects when combined with good technique and presentation.

At The Decksmith, we take these established principles and prepare each deck individually, focusing on consistency, handling and performance.

Some are designed to make a selection seem impossible. Others allow cards to be controlled, predicted, located or revealed in ways that would be difficult or impossible with an ordinary pack.

The principle does the work. The performer creates the magic.
