The Dominion Deck has been carefully designed to capture the eye whether still or in motion. It is the most beautiful and versatile fanning and flourishing deck on the market. 

This deck is a mirror back fanning deck, meaning that you can use them normally and not worry about mixing up the back designs. These cards work great for all of your needs, but when you fan one way and you'll get a beautiful bright red fan, fan the other way and you'll get a black fan with a different pattern. The fans were designed to be highly visible both on and off stage. Giant fans are amazing with this deck!

The Dominion Fanning deck comes with two sets of awesome cover cards. On one side is full red, and the other black. You place these on the top of the deck to make the deck appear the same as the cover card. You also get two sets of blank cards that can double as jokers. The double sets are so you can divide the deck in half and still have each half covered. Also they work great with one on top and bottom.

Black Spot cards have gradient pips, red cards have standard red pips in the corners only.  All have a beautiful pattern in the center. De'vo breaks the rules and creates something truly different and beautiful!

Very limited edition and these are already sold out from the manufacturer.  Get yours today at Tin City Magic!

RUBIK'S CUBE SOLVED!



Rubik Remembered DVD

Solve a Rubik's Cube in 2 minutes or less!

Imagine being able to solve a genuine Rubik's Cube from memory, whilst blind-folded, in less than two minutes every single time!

When laymen see a Rubik's Cube, they are thinking just one thing - can the magician solve it? After you've studied this DVD the answer is "Yes!"

In the first part of this DVD, Mark teaches his full solution for Rubik's Cube. He covers every possible variation that you might encounter whilst doing the Cube. His brilliant 7-step solution is quickly learned and is designed to offer ease of long-term recall. Once learned, you will be able to solve any Rubik's Cube in less than two minutes, anytime you choose, for the rest of your life.

In the second part, Mark provides the full explanation of his reputation-making effect of solving the Cube apparently from memory, while blindfolded. Plus all the handling subtleties and psychological strategies that he has developed and honed over thousands of performances are thoroughly explained.

The instruction available on this DVD has previously been kept secret, known only to a few. Now you can learn this incredible piece of magic.

Whether you choose to perform this effect close-up or on stage, as an opener or a closer, or as an impromptu demonstration at a party, 'Rubik Remembered' is the definitive work on using the world's best selling puzzle in your performance.

DAN HARLAN'S BIRTHDAY SUIT



Dan Harlan recently came here and performed a brilliant lecture.  Here's another ingenious effect, well made and available now at Tin City Magic!

Show a deck of cards, and talk about how a deck of cards is like a calendar - four suits/four seasons, 13 cards in a suit/13 phases of the moon, 52 cards/52 weeks, and so on.  Playing cards are based on tarot cards, and sometimes striking synchronicities occur.

In fact, you had a premonition of just such a synchronicity.  Ask a spectator for her month and date of birth.  You then spread the cards, and among the face down cards there are 3 face up cards in the deck.  

The face up cards are flipped over and written on the back of the cards is the spectator's birthday!

A great card trick that audiences love, because it's about them!  They will remember and talk about this trick!

Perfect for table hopping or restaurant work.  It can be done completely in the hands and may be repeated with no reset needed.  Plus, it always works!

If you know the Invisible Deck or the Brainwave Deck, you'll be doing this trick in seconds!  Made correctly in the USA and a joy to perform.  Complete with instructions and patter.
