Boom Deck by Wonder Makers

Effect

The Boom Deck creates a dramatic moment where a signed card visibly flips over or bursts out of the deck when the spectator "shoots" it with a finger gun. The reveal is sudden, flashy, and unexpected, often leaving the audience stunned. The trick combines visual impact with interactive participation, making it highly engaging.

Full details

The Boom Deck is a gimmicked deck that allows a signed card to be revealed in an explosive manner. The magician has a spectator sign a card, which is then placed back into the deck. The deck is set down, and the spectator uses a finger gun gesture to "shoot" at it. On cue, the signed card dramatically flips over or bursts out.

The gimmick is 3D-printed and includes a remote control for triggering the effect. It comes with two cover cards (red and blue) to match standard decks, though these wear out after repeated use. The trick requires a deck switch, which reviewers note is easier than moves like Marlo’s Tilt.

Who should consider the trick

The Boom Deck is ideal for performers who want a high-impact, visual reveal in their routines. It works well for close-up or parlor settings where the sudden movement and noise can create a strong reaction. Magicians who enjoy interactive, playful performances will appreciate the finger-gun participation element.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The mechanics of the trick are straightforward, but proper setup and timing are crucial. The deck switch is the most challenging part, though reviewers say it is easier than similar moves. The remote must be concealed and triggered at the right moment, which requires practice. The tutorial provides setup instructions but lacks performance tips, meaning magicians will need to develop their own presentation.
