WHAT IS THIS DECK?
It's a red backed deck of different, specialized
playing cards that are meant to be used WITH a normal red Bicycle deck.
No one expects cards like these and it allows you to create literal
miracles in front of people.
Re-engineered from the
box-in, these are the card worker's Swiss army knife of impossible
effects. And now, for the first time available in a deceptively
innocent, standard red Bicycle design.
TOOLS
These are the tools of the
creative card worker.
If you could use a card that is: shot, aged, flipped, zipped, fallen,
faded, ripped and stuck, box printed, blank, creepy, blacked out,
swirled, thumb printed, smudged, inked wrong, mis-made, tagged,
transferred, erased, added to, too high, shifted, shattered,
fractioned, blurred, skeletal, or predictive,
this is the deck for you. Shift reality.
See
them all, one by one.

Red Bicycle® Gaff Deck - Review
"My God. I just went through the new Red Bike Gaff Deck, and I am
almost in tears. I hate to sound that way, but the impact is
tremendous.
I fanned through them and the possibilities absolutely leaped off of
the cards and into my soul. You will, without a doubt, not believe your
eyes when you see some of the stuff. I promise you, this is not a tease
on my part (the little boy who cried wolf!), this is such a post
written with awe... incredible!
I am not saying to wait for this deck to come out before you attempt
your routines, I am simply saying that if you are a gaff person, or if
this experience has turned you into one... man!
These will not be available to you all for a couple of weeks, but it is
something I would put on my list of things well worth waiting for."

Red Bicycle® Gaff Deck - Review
"I've had the honor
of being on the Ellusionist design team of the Red Gaff project. What a
ball it has been designing this deck with everyone. The creativity of
this group is staggering.
Down to brass tacks. Just got my deck of the red Gaff cards in the mail.
I now know why everyone has been raving about the new gaff cards. They
truly jump out at you. The aged card printed better than I could have
hoped. It certainly has a "creative juices catalyst" quality to it. I
could see toting whole deck of these in a deck switching routine....
I won't try to re-hash any of the tormenting details posted before, but
I will offer my personal favorites (not trying to plug E products on
every comment, but I can't deny the effectiveness of the combination of
effects).
1) The 10-D card with the diamonds that fall to the bottom: Try a
Parth's Axis change (download available on E) with this card, it's
droolingly effective.
2) I can't wait to use the burned King of Clubs with Third Degree Burn.
Better yet, force a KC, have them hold the entire deck in one hand with
the burned KC gaff card on bottom against their palm, turn their hand
over, then give them the Electric touch on the back of their hand and
BURN the prediction through their hand onto the card. I could go on all
day about the possibilities on this one.
3) Eight of Hearts hidden in the scroll work. I love this card because
it can stay in a spectators hand for a month and they'd never notice
it. Now all you do is reach over and wipe the prediction onto their
card while they're holding it.
4) Thumbprint card. Simple. Effective, but lets add some Scorpion
blacklight effects with this, or the Electric Touch and/or UltraSmoke
and you BURN your print onto the card. Great for Mentalists.
5) Last but not least Bullet Hole Card. (Did this to my coworkers this
morning. I thought it' be hokey, but after seeing them stare at me in a
catatonic trance, I just had to write it) Give the spectator a "Magic
Invisible bullet" have them load it into their invisible gun. You hold
the card out in front of your face.
On the count of 3, they fire, "POW" ...SNAP CHANGE, you throw your head
back, a puff of UltraSmoke, you stagger and recover to show the round
of a .38 slug caught between the teeth and a bullet hole in your card.
(I should note the seriousness of disassembling a centerfire bullet.
DON'T DO IT. The dangers aren't even funny to talk about. I just
happened to have some spares from my firing range days). Nonetheless, I
thought it'd be silly. I was dead wrong. I felt like Chung Ling Soo.
I'm sure I've tortured you enough. I will end up buying another deck or
two on release, because this one is already getting worn out fast.
You're gonna love it."
