Das SPECTRUM deck is not a trick. It’s a UNIQUE and BEAUTIFUL deck of cards which CAN be used in many magic effects.
The
SPECTRUM deck is the world’s first and only TRUE Bicycle rainbow deck!
What does that mean exactly? In 2001, Cosmo Solano had been performing a
“rainbow deck” routine for years and always WISHED that he could
LITERALLY change the color of the deck not the cards. (A TRUE color
change wouldn’t involve changing back design, JUST the color!) Changing
the deck was a nice trick, but not MAGIC.
The standard 54 cards (Jokers included) will make up a beautiful spectrum of colors. Plus two “gaffs” are included.
The
cards are manufactured by U.S. Playing Card Company, on highest quality
stock with the “Magic Finish” (the preferred finish for professionals).
Custom Jokers and a custom Ace of Spades have been designed for this
deck as well. The rest of the faces will be the classic, 808 Bicycle
design and yes, there is a built in “reveal”!
More for magicians…
“The little things”…
First
of all, there’s a reveal in the Guarantee Joker. Yes, Solano could have
flooded the cards with reveals, but this deck really is awesome for
color changing deck routines! Cosmo wanted to keep it simple to preserve
the SPECTRUM deck’s beauty.
From the extra cool department:
The
cards will have something very “special” (for magicians) about the way
they are packaged at the factory… In an effort to make a beautiful
deck of cards that ALSO serves as a great magic prop Solano realized
that the gradient color order of the cards (as shown in the card spread
graphic above), shouldn’t be when they’re in new deck, (Ace through
King) order. They should be in color order when the deck appears to be
mixed. Cosmo has gone to the effort and extra expense to rearrange the
order in which cards are printed at the factory, so that when you spread
what appears to be a mixed up deck on the faces, the perfect spectrum
is on the backs! When you get the deck they will “appear” to be mixed up
already! But there’s a secret order to them! (Just imagine Si Stebbins
set the deck up for you at the factory… ‘nuf said!) One more thing…
The deck has been set up in a way that also allows you to give it a red
back look or a blue back look, without messing up the spectrum. The Ace
of Spade has the traditional blue back and falls right at the center of
the deck. So whether you’re a blue deck person or red, you can work this
into your routines! Also no matter where you cut the deck the spectrum
works. In other words, the bottom most card leads to the top card in the
spectrum! And even if the cards are mixed up (not in the order you see
in the graphics and videos) the deck STILL LOOKS AMAZING!
