Magic Review - Demi Deck by Angelo Carbone

Thanks David. It's my next effect for dinner shows.

Bro, how many times are you going to re-upload this?

I have had mine for a week. I have not performed it for anyone yet. This is really good. I’m just afraid I’m going to flash!

Deja vu 😊

Is this different from the prior review?

I would've defenitely bought it since there's been kind of a fuss about it but I think it's a little bit too expensive for my taste when I can easily buy a really good magic book for that price containing tons of tricks/tips. Or buying myself some more svenpads 😆

Deja vu. This review doesn't change how bad the back side of the deck looks so fake when you open the door. That is a huge fail. I am thoroughly confused why a new review of the same. Was the creator hurt because the back side of the deck looked so different and they cried? That should be the "talk of the town." If that has anything to do with the reason, then this is a huge backfire. AND, NOBODY should have to superglue a $70 prop.

I was at a magic shop yesterday where I saw this trick demonstrated in front of me. It does look great! but $70.00 is a hefty price. I think zip zag card frame which is a similar effect is better. And a lot more affordable. If you do the Rick Lax version of zig zag card. The card can be initialed by both spectator and magician. After showing card in 3 separate pieces. You can then given away card as a souvenir at the end. Cost about $12.00 for Zip Zag Care frame.

multiple left-handed versions have been shared, and they look excellent

I understand if some folks are hesitant to invest in the Demi Deck due to certain quality control issues. To address this, there are primarily two common problems that can be easily rectified, and one more serious issue that, in my opinion, justifies a return.

The Demi Deck is priced at $70, and anyone who receives a unit with any of these defects can request a refund. However, I'd like to suggest that becoming a part of the Demi Deck owners' group might be a more favorable option, as they provide solutions for these issues.

With over 60 years of experience in magic, I've encountered numerous overpriced, poorly designed, and profit-driven magic tricks. Fortunately, the Demi Deck is not one of them. Like most new magic props, when you first take it out of the box and start testing it, there's a natural fear of breaking it or making a mistake. If things don't seem right, I recommend setting it aside and reaching out to the Demi Deck Owners group for assistance – Angelo is always there to help.

Although it can be performed as a standalone trick, more experienced magicians may prefer to use the Demi Deck as an opener or closer for a card magic routine. This is especially effective if you repeatedly return the cards to the case during your performance.

I've had my Demi Deck for about a week now, and I can't seem to put it down. There are basic handling techniques that anyone can perform straight out of the box, and with a bit of extra practice, you can easily graduate to more complex multi-convincer routines. I personally found the transition to the multi-convincer level relatively easy. I also plan to purchase several more Demi Decks for deck switches and using the case itself as a convincer.

What truly impresses me about the Demi Deck is the ingenious functionality that Angelo has incorporated into its design. It might appear obvious, but it took countless hours to discover and implement these features. Beyond its functional aspects, the Demi Deck can be customized to meet a magician's specific needs and preferences, and all of this valuable information is shared within the owners' group.

I'd also like to share some thoughts on the saturation of social media. Social media can sometimes make the world seem narrow. We spend so much time on our smartphones and tablets that the constant stream of videos on social media can make it feel like the latest effect has already become old news. However, this isn't entirely true. I encourage you to put your device down and step outside. There's a whole world out there completely unaware that the Demi Deck even exists.

The problem with this, and other novelty items like it, is that the most unusual and mysterious prop always wants to be examined – and in this case, it can’t. So who cares how clever it is or how amazing it looks, it’s a weird prop. Especially that goofy little kids toy blade you carry around.

This is exactly what it looks like and what it is intended to be. We need to appreciate this was made accessible. Personally I would prefer it was made out of wood and leather with a custom knife quality blade and a few decks of cards related to it. Priced up at around 350 so far fewer purchase it and know the secret. I mean it’s creative as all heck, bloody beautiful illusion.

No one needs to inspect if you actually “perform” it and then move right on continuing your “entertainment”. If your spectators are left standing there staring at you trying to figure out this new puzzle you are wasting it…IMO of course 😉

Olá David! Não tem mais legenda em português? 😱😱😳😢😢 obrigado 😀🤞🤞

Ok. I wasn’t going to purchase this, but I actually saw it Live and it looks pretty cool. Although, it was Magick Balay who showed me this and he could make anything look good. But it’s actually pretty cool. Unfortunately he was sold out.

Screwed deck is by Paul Harris, not Jay Sankey.

"i wore black shirt today ". I love your reviews man, you always tell me exactly what I need to know.

I have an eyeballing this thing hard... And it's funny you say that you're left-handed because I'm also left-handed, and I completely understand that urge to put it into your right hand because I normally hold a deck in mechanics grip in my right hand.

Thanks David...appreciate your input...as always great. I think your comment on angles...helped me...I'll pass. Saving $70.

Thanks so much; very helpful. My favorite deck EVER is the 52-to-1. Absolutely, utterly brilliant.

Reminds me of a tenyo trick
