Mirage Deck (Bicycle)

Jack

I found a great effect by Andy Nyman that used the Mirage Deck. What looks astonishing is simplicity itself with this gimmicked deck. I ordered one with a red back and one with a blue. The price was very low and the shipping was free. I really like FREE!

Having bought both the Mirage Deck and the Brainwave Deck together, I'm struggling to decide which I like best as they're both amazing trick decks. One of the first trick decks I ever had was a Svengali Deck but the Mirage Deck is so much more versatile. It's a great way of being able to force a card (I got the 3 of Hearts) or have a spectator cut and find their card again for example. It's good that you can fan the cards face up and being Bicycle cards they handle very easily. The Mirage Deck comes with a nice leaflet in the box which adequately explains how it works with a few ideas for how to use it. I would recommend both these trick decks...I think the Brainwave Deck is currently my favourite but why not buy them both from Vanishing Inc?

Re.brainwave and mirage decks. Both very disappointing.directions confusing.a video/download would have been far better,esp for a magician as famous as Daryl. Also the roughing fluid was very poorly applied making the handling very difficult. Almost like double sided tape or magicians wax was used. Sorry for the negative feedback

This deck was and is amazing! it is great quality and allows for a great range of magic tricks. it if a wonderful gift as well as just a magic deck to buy for yourself for beginner and advanced magicians all around the world! The rough and smooth fluid is added perfectly, so thank you for giving me the opportunity of owning this deck of magic playing cards.

There are many aspects that do not convince me about the Svengali deck. I don't know if it is a common place for all magicians, but its limitations make us sometimes renounce it to bring it into our routines. The Mirage Deck has come to eliminate all the cons and elevate this deck to the place it deserves. The quality is, as always, very high and the possibilities it allows are infinite. A perfect mix between the invisible deck and the Svengali deck that will delight any magician. One of the basics of every repertoire.

This is a killer deck. Works great right out of the box. The r/s keeps everything where it needs to be. One of my favorite forcing decks. This deck is primo as far as Mirage decks go.

I bought this when I saw Craig Petty doing the fairest ACAAN I have seen. I was dumbstruck. This is such a clever tool and takes the Svengali to the next level. It makes everything just so much cleaner. The deck is really well made, the cards are excellent quality, and the rough and smooth works really well. I can highly recommend this. Its a winner!

This classic shouts quality. The price is right

This was a very good product as it did everything that it claimed it could do and the price was really good! I really enjoy it and use it daily.

If you use a svengali deck you really need to get the Mirage deck. With the Mirage deck easily do a in the hand spead showing the cards face up, you can table spread face up. No awkward rifle display freely spread the card face up from hand to hand.
I do mainly coin magic but once in a while someone asks for a some card tricks, it is nice to have something that I can concentrate on performance rather than worry about technique. One criticism, the corners of the force cards need to be rounded, both sides of the trimmed side. A pain in the butt, but once done the deck is perfect.

Best forcing deck available...period! Totally innocent as you show all cards different as you casually fan them out. Then they always get the card you want them to...no funny moves, no weird counts...just point to the card you want...boom!

If you like doing Svengali-based card tricks, you'll love this deck. If I'm only carrying gimmicked deck (along with a regular deck), this is my first choice.

The lesser known but superior cousin to the Svengali deck, the Mirage deck does everything a Svengali can do and more given its ability to spread the deck face up. Whilst Svengali decks have become a common feature in beginner magic kits, the Mirage deck is bound to knockout those who are aware of a sven deck and more! Whilst it can be used for fair and deceptive forces, the actual mirage routine of being able to show all cards as identical and then different is seriously powerful in and of itself, for its low price and ease of use it could fit into the act of any card worker from amateur to expert.

The only downside is that it is an entirely gimmicked deck that doesn't have much other application, but if you have any ideas for potential use you will be satisfied. Even if you just wish to experiment with it, the price is low enough that its hard to say no to just trying it out.

The concept is terrific, but the deck I received I found difficult to separate. I do not feel comfortable giving out the deck for someone to count down to their 'selection.' Even when I am handling the deck, it is obvious that there is something not quite right.

 

Samuel

The Deck I recieved is cut poorly. So its basically just a pop eye popper deck. Its fine just not what i ordered.
