Ultimate Koran Bagshawe Deck

In the right hands, this effect is nothing short of a miracle. Al Koran was a brilliant mentalist and his improved version of the Bagshawe Deck was one of the features of his world renowned act. It baffled audiences for years. In this new release, Al Koran’s improved design and handling has been strengthened even further – integrating contemporary performance techniques with a streamlined set-up that eliminates any potential pitfalls. The result is a Bagshawe Deck that combines maximum audience impact with an ease of performance never before possible. We call it the Ultimate Koran Bagshawe Deck or UK Bagshawe Deck for short. Here’s the effect. A deck of cards is openly fanned in front of a spectator to show the cards are different. The spectator is given the pack to thoroughly shuffle and cut. He or she is then asked to look at the top card, memorize it, and return the cards to their case. A second spectator now attempts to read the first spectator’s mind and name the card. After that spectator fails, you uncannily reveal the card the spectator is thinking of!

Keep in mind, nothing is written down. There are no sleights, glimpses or card control to worry about. No stooges or shills. The individual cards are not gimmicked or marked in any way and there are no external gimmicks. As impossible as it seems, apart from fanning the cards at the beginning of the effect, you never touch or go near the deck again! Plus, if you like, you can perform the entire effect blindfolded or from across the room with your back to the audience. This is the same principle employed in such legendary mentalism decks, as Audley Walsh's "Magician's Dream Deck," Al Koran's "Koran Deck," and Gene Grant's "Mental Deck."

In this new downloadable manuscript from Trickshop.com; which includes complete performance instructions, you'll learn how to make up both the UK Bagshawe Deck and The Koran Deck from regular decks of playing cards in minutes. Please note, four decks of cards produce four Koran Decks and six decks of cards produce four UK Bagshawe Decks. No cards are included with the eManuscript. However, we can supply you with a ready-to-use Bicycle, poker-size, UK Bagshawe Deck by mail.
