Very simple and fun premise to start your card routines. Everything is very well made and it can last a long time. Stickers are provided also for you to customise your box. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an opener.

 

Gregg

Simple effect that is well made and easy to use. It takes up the same space as a deck of cards. Because it allows the production of a deck of cards it is a great opener with a real wow factor. Video instructions are clear and easy to follow The key is to develop a good story that suits your own style. Suitable for any level magician.

 

Eric

A very nice effect that is well taught. The props are well made and the packaging is excellent. The off colour of the Jigsaw puzzle does not seem to be an issue as the audience focus is on the appearance of the real deck. Reset is immediate and pocket space is just what’s required for a little larger than deck size box. Very pleased with my purchase.

 

Martin

The Jigsaw Deck by David Regal is a fun and fooling effect to begin a card set. The puzzle pieces are made of wood and look great and easy to assemble. Strong surprise and impact factors as the puzzle becomes a real deck of cards. Instruction video is clear and complete with alternate approaches being shared. My only minor disappointment is not having a choice of puzzle colors. Unless you find a motivation as to why the red puzzle turns into, for example, a blue deck, red decks are necessary. However, using the new Particle Deck which is red back, it creates a perfect transition.

Great effect and clever idea. I'm glad David includes a sleight-of-hand method as a bonus because that's the version I'm using. If you use that method the spectators can open the box themselves to discover and remove the cards inside!

 

SB

As a beginner I can’t wait to do this at my work, its amazing how a little magic changes things in a doctors office

Mr. Regal always delivers. This is the perfect opener! I am taking the obvious directions of talking about how some people see magic as a puzzle.

 

Dr. Ronald

Outstanding

 

James

EXCELLENT! This is just what good magic should be. It's great as an opener for anyone who knows card magic. If I had anything to say otherwise, it would be that I wish there were an option for choosing the card back for the gimmick; it uses the Bicycle Mandolin back.

 

Garry

Comes in a quality in a quality magnetic closing lid,Nice clean video presentation with Demos and performances with different ideas, which once you no it's then obvious yet worth using them, and very easy to learn, these effective are very simple, this is a great fun puzzle and card magic, clever design using the physics method which makes this work,Just make sure you got a real matching deck of cards to go with this, then your ready to go and to perform using this puzzle deck.

 

Vince

Another David Regal great effect. So easy to do and just a great way to introduce a deck of cards for an opening of your first (or more) card effects. As always, the video presentation and explanation are perfect and so easy to follow. If you do card magic this should be your opener. Highly recommended. A++++++++++++++++++

 

Josh

What more can we say about David Regal?? He consistently delivers real working tricks. Are they the craziest magician fulling effects...no! But who cares. Magic needs to astonish lay people and this does just that. It punches hard and is a perfect segue into any other card trick.

 

Peter

Simple and highly effective. David Regal is a consistantly great developer - very entertaining routines with no difficult moves, allowing all effort to go on the great presentations he teaches.

 

Kevin

As per usual David Regal never ceases to amaze and impress with his highly creative and fun innovations. I received the Jigsaw Deck today and absolutely love this. It’s an interesting and unique plot that definitely sets the tone for a wildly fun and engaging routine (whichever routine you choose to follow up with this extraordinary opener). I watched the tutorial of the effect before receiving the product and was highly entertained and excited by the possibilities it presents. David is a great teacher whose passion for the work and world of magic is contagious. His tutorial does more than just tell you how to work with the gimmick in a basic handling sense. It allows for a tremendous deep dive into the psychology and philosophy of how important scripting and devising powerful routines is to the magic you choose to present. Thank you again, David, for another creating, once again, another incredible device that the magic world can use to elevate their magic!!!

David Regal always comes up with interesting premises for an effect, and this is no different. I appreciate the added conversation about plot misdirection and how this can make your routines stronger. The Sleight of Hand version is a nice bonus as well.

 

Jim

I love this effect and especially appreciate David discussing Plot Misdirection. Thank you once again David Regal and Vanishing Inc.!

 

Gregg

This is a great effect. It is very easy to learn. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Performing it is easy. There are no difficult sleights involved. Event the cop-out to end clean is easy with a bit of practice. There are lots of possibilities for combing with other effects for a real stunner presentation. Great for all Skill levels.

 

David

Unusable because the deck picture on the puzzle is way too dark. The switch is instantly obvious unless you take a REALLY long time to bring out the real deck. I've been trying to find a deck that matches the puzzle with no success.

 

Michael

The color of the card back on the puzzle pieces is way darker than an ordinary red back bicycle deck. Way darker.

  • 1. David Regal (creator) responds: It's funny, a received a personal email from someone who asked "Can you turn the deck into a puzzle?" meaning, go in the opposite direction.

After producing the deck, lay the lid on the box a bit ajar. When you are done with the deck, return it to the box. You are reset. Or, as the clever customer suggested, you could turn the deck back into a puzzle.
  • 2. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: Well, you'd not reset in front of spectators, but it's a matter of seconds.
