Magic Makers Packet Killer Bicycle Deck - 50 Amazing Card Tricks with Special Printed Bicycle Playing Cards | Perfect for Magicians, Cardistry & Street Performances

This is a fantastic value for anyone wishing to perform professional level card tricks. I am no magician but after a couple hours of practice, I had my wife very impressed with a few of these tricks. I haven't even gotten past the first four or five and I'm totally immersed in the learning process. The deck is high quality and contains everything you need to do the 40 or 50 tricks advertised. There is a link to online video demos/tutorials as well. The set is packaged in neat little cardboard box (about the size of a DVD case, but thicker). It includes the Bicycle gaff deck and a few plastic wallets with some other gaff cards included in them for additional tricks. When my kit arrived, I found a bent card in one of the packets. I emailed Magic Makers and they responded almost immediately. Excellent customer service, as they kept me informed a new card was in the mail the next day. I even received a tracking number and delivery notification in email. Wow!About the level of skill needed for this setup, I would say you need to be confident you can learn some sleight of hand moves. Nothing crazy like cardistry maneuvers, but some good, solid old-school moves you should already be aware of if you're buying this kit. The demos and tutorials are very comprehensive, and they credit the originators and name the moves so you can look them up and learn further if needed. I recognized some classics and started learning them right away. It will take some dedicated practice, but soon enough you'll get good enough to do these tricks for people and blow their minds. I'm really very impressed with the quality of the content on this purchase. Just one warning, you will learn some well guarded secrets with this and you will never see card tricks the same way again (but in a good way). I highly recommend Packet Killer, I am very pleased with this purchase!
