4 GAFF CARDS

Each Optricks deck has the standard 52 cards, two jokers and two extra cards which are produced as part of the printing process. These extra cards are usually used for advertising, however we've decided to design these cards as extra gaff cards to give you more options in your magic routines! We chose the 7 of hearts to reveal as it is a popular force card in mentalism type routines, as well as being a card commonly chosen at free will. The idea is to give you a really cool way to reveal a thought of, forced or selected card within the animation of the deck.

THE STACK

In terms of getting the animated reveal to look as good as it can, here are a few things you can do. Two of the gaff cards have a red seven of hearts, the other two have a more subtle inverted seven of hearts design. The inverted sevens were designed this way so they enhance the reveal, but can still pass as normal backs and be used in other routines.

You can sandwich the two red sevens between the inverted ones, and when you riffle through the deck you will get a solid reveal. Or try stacking them alternatively; a red 7, then inverted 7, red 7, inverted 7 - this should produce a flickering effect. With regards to where to position the gaffs within the deck, start off with them on the bottom, and when you're ready to reveal, cut them to the centre.

GET THE MOST OUT OF THE REVEAL

With two Optricks decks you get 8 gaffs which you can use to create a longer flickering reveal effect. You can do this with 12 cards as well, just have a play around and find what kind of effect suits you best. Maybe you could try positioning gaff cards throughout the deck? Also play around with the speed of the riffle, try to keep a steady pace letting one card release at a time for best effect.

Featuring NEW illusion backs and animated reveal!

The new Mechanic Optricks deck has been stripped of all embellishments and showcases what 'less is more' really means. Composed of simple black and white lines structured in a geometric retro style pattern, just looking at a card starts causing mayhem for your eyes! Riffle through the cards to really make the magic happen. Kitted out with a hypnotising & mesmerising animation that will enhance and give narrative to your magic performances, as well as just looking damn cool!

We've created an awesome new feature that allows you to visually reveal a card in the flip-book animation. The deck also comes with 2 custom Jokers featuring the Grinder coin artwork, as well as an additional Joker gaff and blank facer card. These cards are a creative extension to the deck, like a magic tool kit allowing you to create your own routines.

NEW Flip-book animated reveal!

As well as having the awesome optical illusion style flip-book animation, the Optricks deck boasts a completely new feature. We've in-built a card reveal into the animation - the popular force card of 7 of hearts. So now you have a totally new way to reveal a selected or thought of card, as well as opening the doors for some really cool magical routines.

NEW Grindout custom cards

You can now perform the highly visual Grindout trick with an added phase thanks to an additional custom gaff. The extra Joker gaff sees the Grinder Coin starting to make its way off the card. So a simple colour change gives the impression that you are sliding or flicking the coin of the card. Then make use the blank card to rip the coin out right into the real world... take Grindout to the next level!
