Top 5 Trick Decks Revealed

Howd he do that? It must be a trick deck!
If you are a novice magician you may of asked yourself this a few times. I put together this list which I believe is the top 5 trick decks used in magic tricks.
1. Svengali Deck
2. Stripper Deck
3. Invisible Deck
4. Rising Card Deck
5. Gaff Deck
What is a Svengali Deck?
A Svengali Deck alternates between normal cards and shortened cards, and the shortened cards are all of the same card. When you riffle the deck front to back, only the regular cards are visible; when the deck is riffled back to front, only the shortened cards are visible.

A Svengali Magic Deck should not be allowed to be examined closely. A Svengali deck can aslo be detected by its characteristic faster riffle and sound.
Svengali Deck Card Tricks
An example of a trick that could be performed with a Svengali Magic Deck the spectator or you cut the deck and picks the first card. This would be a shortened card.
After the card is placed back in the deck the magician can reveal the card in many ways; 2 examples would be shuffling the deck and revealing another short card (which would be an identical card). Another example would be turning the deck over and riffling back to front revealing only the shortened cards showing that the whole deck is now their card.
What is a Stripper Deck?
A Stripper Deck is a deck of cards that have each card has a cut on one of the sides.
A Stripper deck can be either aBelly Stripper Deck or a Hindu Stripper Deck. The differnce between a Belly Stripper Deck and a Hindu Stripper Deck is if the cut is on the narrow or wide side of the deck of cards.
Stripper Deck Card Tricks
An example of a card trick that could be performed with a Stripper Deck would be letting a spectator choose a card and being able to immediately locate it.
This works by turning the deck over so the opposite side face the spectator; so when the card is placed back in the deck and shuffled you will be able to cut right to the card by cutting the deck on that side of the deck.
Another trick you could perform with a Stripper Deck would be separating the black cards from the red cards.
What is a Invisible Deck?
A Invisible Deck trick that is performed with an Invisible Deck is where you ask the spectator to tell you of any card he thinks of and it just so happens that specific card is flipped inside the deck.
Invisible Deck Trick Revealed
The cards are kept in a certain order for example odds on one side even on the other side. If the card is an even card the magician would flip the deck to the odd side where only odd cards can be seen.
Every other card in the deck is turned over. A special coating is placed on the cards so the backs will not slide if you give a lot of pressure.
So if the spectator choose the 6 of Hearts the magician would flip the deck to the odd side and would look for the 5 Of Hearts and the 7 of Hearts, then giving less pressure with his thumb he would reveal the card hidden behind the 5 of hearts flipped over. Which he would then reveal is in fact the 6 of Hearts.
What is a Rising Card Deck?
The Rising Card Deck is a special trick deck that obviously makes the spectators card rise out of the deck.
Rising Card Deck Revealed
After the spectator picks his card the deck is cut to a special section of the deck which is stuck together.
This section of cards has a special weight and string attached to a peice of 3m tape. When the card is flipped upside down the weight is forced to go down.
Depending on how much pressure you use when holding the deck it will make the card rise faster or slower.
What is a Gaff Deck?
Tricks performed with a Gaff Deck usually requires a good amount of sleight of hand skill.
Gaff Deck Trick
An example is moving the pips of a card and sliding it down. This trick is performed with gaff cards that are obviously fake but with some sleight of hand can be made into amazing tricks.
Another example card from a gaff deck is a 3 1/2 of Clubs or a 14 of Diamonds

Effect: Magician rips a piece of a card and reveals that the rest of the card magically went inside a sealed Snapple drink. Preparation: To perform the Snapple drink card trick you will need to do the following. (Note: any other bottle that has a pop up safety button will work) First you need 3 Duplicate cards to perform this trick. Take 2 cards holding them very tightly; rip off a corner of the card. Holding the card tightly will make you make exactly even rips to both cards. Next you will need 1.

Strolling Magic Idea

Recently I brought a few tricks back into action that have gotten tremendous results and “Wow’s” from the spectators at several of the restaurants that I perform at weekly.  Sometimes those “old” tricks really impress people a lot. When I say “old” I mean, tricks that I used to do.  I typically bring back those same tricks after six months to a year or so, sometimes, and do again with the people that have become “regulars” at my restaurants. They loved them the first time, and they really love seeing them again. I normally change what I carry with me, as far as pocket magic, about every other week or so and alternate in and out a few of my favorites, because I don’t have the pocket space to carry them all at once. One of the absolute favorites is: Eye Exam. Eye Exam Trick In this trick, I use a regular pack of cards and force one which I can’t seem to find.  After getting it wrong a few times, I ask them if they are sure they actually saw the card and ask th
