Roulette playing cards from Mechanic Industries Bring all the fun of the casino into your hands and ultimately into your audience's experience. Everyone knows and loves the game of roulette, so it's the perfect way to engage with your audience on a familiar topic. Building on our previous mechanic decks, we animated the roulette wheel with a flip book. Not only does this allow you to add narration and use the countdown/spell to principle to create some truly amazing new magic tricks, but it also allows you to use an easy to use marking system. The court cards were decorated with roulette motifs such as the rake, the ball and of course the money! Expertly illustrated to fit seamlessly into the classic artwork, these really complete the deck. We've included two Erdnase-style Croupier Jokers. One holding the ball and one in a "Just Throwed the Ball" pose. This allows for some cool color changing animations and is the perfect precursor to combining with the other effects and creating a routine with full gambling flavor. It doesn't stop here! There is also a Box Gaff prediction card and we will teach you an amazing but easy to do effect called House Edge. There is so much material that comes with this deck of cards! All tricks taught have a play style theme and you can combine all effects into the ultimate casino magic routine. We've even managed to include 1 red back card so you can use this for color changing deck or monte routines. Mechanic Casino Edition Roulette Playing Cards are printed on premium crushed USPCC stocks so they work like a dream. TRICK LIST Straight up The spectator selects a card, this is their "bet". It is lost and shuffled in the deck. The roulette wheel spins and spins and they call "Stop" - the deck is cut right there. The ball stopped on a number... the spectator counts down this number to reveal the selected card. Congratulations, you win! Split bet A similar concept to "Straight Up" but with 2 selections they make a parlay bet with their selected cards lost in separate parts of the deck. The roulette wheel spins and wherever they say the deck will stop, it will cut. They count down the number of cards the ball has stopped on to reveal a card - a combination of their starting two cards (i.e. 2 + 8 = 10). The card is then immediately and visually split back into its original stakes. This packs some powerful magical moments with a clever kicker. Red or black? We teach some visually stunning color-changing deck sequences as well as an easy-to-use Monte trick. If you pick up more than one deck, you can play with multiple red back cards to perform your favorite color changing routines. Marking system We'll go over how to use the marking system in depth to get you up and running in no time. There are multiple ways to read the back and you can now also find the value in a spread without seeing the entire card, i.e. H. Distinctive markings in the upper left corner. The mechanic We share some of our work on how a card cheat might "use" this system in a card game. Deal winning hands every time and influence every part of the game. There is no luck with this deck. Happy thought An experiment with luck... The spectator shuffles the deck, cuts and holds half, the performer keeps the other half. You both choose a random card and shuffle it into your half of the pack. They then switch packs and not only does the performer guess which card was chosen, the audience also correctly guesses which card the performer chose, very lucky! House edge We'll teach you two prediction style tricks, one using just the Box Gaff and an amazing magic that combines the Box Gaff with the Croupier Jokers. The croupier A similar concept to our Grind Out Jokers. This time we have depicted the jokers in Ernase style croupier hands. one holds a ball, the other throws the ball. This allows for some great tricks with color changes to activate the animation. They can still be used as two regular jokers for your existing joker tricks. All tricks are designed with a special game style pattern to enhance and theme your presentations. With nearly 2 hours of detailed instruction, we teach basic handling for each plot and provide advice on where to swap out sleds depending on your skill level. Some tricks are fairly self-contained and there are intermediate to advanced options as well. We have a Roulette Playing Cards Facebook group for additional support where we share new tutorials and ideas and answer your questions. There's a lot of room for exploration with these new concepts and it's a great place to share your discoveries and see what everyone else is doing with the new deck. |
