Mayhews monte, double deck deal make great day for card loversFrom a three-card monte routine to a can’t-miss promo, today is a good day for card magic lovers.

Fade is a brilliant expansion of the three-card monte plot. Find the lady? Good luck. In Chris Mayhew’s version, you’ll lose track of the queen, the spot cards, even the whole deck. Mayhew’s Fade uses no false throws, shifty switches or fast flinging. In fact, all he’s doing is raising and lowering the deck. And with more kickers than a Jackie Chan movie, Fade throws in surprise after dizzying surprise.

Fade will pack your arsenal with a great routine good for all kinds of street situations. In the process, you’ll learn two new sleights and get some leads on paths to further your card magic research.

Download Fade, and throw some extra cards in your order. You’ll want to stock up now, because until midnight Saturday, we’ll double-down your LTD decks. If you spend $150 on an order with shippable merchandies, you’ll get two LTD decks instead of one. These decks have become one of the most talked-about collectibles this year, and you have a chance to snag two of them.

This offer expires at midnight Saturday (U.S. Eastern), so don’t miss out. Stock up on Artifice Second Edition decks, in both colors. You’ll find they work perfectly for Fade.

Bend reality: Arcane Gaff Techniques and gaff decks now available

Monday, November 15th, 2010


Arcane Gaff Deck & Techniques DVD from Ellusionist on Vimeo.

Bend reality: Arcane Gaff Techniques and gaff decks now availablePlans for the Arcane Gaff Deck have been in the works since before last year’s record-breaking release of the Arcane deck. Months and months of designs and ideas, including many discards and deletes, went into development. But we can sum up what makes this gaff deck a must-have with two words: Gregory Wilson. Three more words: Jimmy The Grip. (Long story.)

Greg brought some devilishly clever ideas to the Arcane Gaff, including one that won him a FISM award. The result is a gaff deck that goes far beyond your expectations, and a training video that shows you some powerful concepts.

The white and black Arcane Gaff Decks, printed in stunning clarity from the U.S. Playing Card Co., will fit exactly with your Arcane decks. And Arcane Gaff Techniques will teach you more than 20 routines and 10 sleights (many of which you could use with a regular deck) in gorgeous high resolution.

Magicians who want to get powerful reactions with their magic have always resorted to gaff cards. They are unafraid of using a stacked deck and have no problem ending dirty.

This is your chance to join them: Arcane Gaff Techniques is now available, including several package options.

Bicycle Blue Gaff for $5? That’s a no-brainer; check out all active promotions before they disappear

Bicycle Blue Gaff for $5? Thats a no brainer; check out all active promotions before they disappearAs many times as this happened to us, we know it’s happened to you: You whip out your cards and perform your own rendition of Crime (from the Ultragaff deck), and your kid brother rips that bleeding three of hearts out of your hand and freaks out. Nevermind that he’s been picking his nose and eating Cheetos with that hand — he grabs it, goes crazy and leaves green and orange streaks across your beautiful card.

Or maybe you’re at the club. You slay a guy and his hot girlfriend with Parallel, and the dude goes nuts, yanks your 6D/10S card (also from Ultragaff) and drops it on a beer-soaked floor.

What, we’re the only ones? Fine, whatever.

This is your chance to stock up and get a blue gaff deck almost free. When you buy any Ellusionist gaff deck, you can scoop up a blue deck for only $5. That’s what we in the biz call a no-brainer. This is a deck of 56 custom-art cards, which gives you a solid arsenal of effects with a packet or a full deck.

This sale is good only until midnight Friday (U.S. Central). Don’t miss out.

Also: Christmas is coming, and in addition to some sweet, new productions coming soon, we need to make room for the extra overstock. Our problem is your opportunity. And speaking of bargains, E Veep Jason Brumbalow went through and found all the active bonuses and promotions going on now. Check out this list:

(Remember, some of the coupon codes are 1 time use codes. If you have used them in the past, you may not be able to use them again.)

Black Ghosts available for next two days

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010


Black Ghosts available for next two daysWhen opportunity knocks, you should take advantage of it. This is your chance to snag one of the most rare decks on the planet.

Only 5,000 decks of the 1st edition of Black Ghost decks were printed in 2004. These decks were originally given to magicians and others, until 2005, when we made them part of our now legendary holiday promotions. Since then, their value to collectors and card enthusiasts has grown steadily over the years. Demand was so great that we printed a special second edition so that everyone could capture the magic.

But there’s nothing like the first one.

Our supply is getting small, but we’re going to put 12 up over the next two days. We’ll also put up two uncut sheets of the deck. You think the deck is rare? Try finding an uncut sheet on eBay. Spoiler alert: You probably won’t.

All you have to do is order $50 or more in shippable products before 11:59 p.m. Eastern on Thursday. We’ll pick 14 random names among those buyers, give 12 of them decks and two of them uncut sheets. Good luck!
