Reverse Mental Photography Deck by Eric Tate

Effect

The Reverse Mental Photography Deck creates the illusion that blank cards print themselves based on the magician's thoughts. A spectator names a card, and when the magician cuts the deck, the chosen card appears to materialize on a previously blank surface. The effect can also work with the entire deck, making all cards appear printed before vanishing back to blank.

Full details

The deck uses a special design called psychic ink. The cards stay blank until the magician focuses on a specific card, making it seem like the image forms instantly. A reverse-cut gimmick improves the display, making the trick look cleaner and more deceptive.

Eric Tate, a professional magician, has used this trick for 20 years. It allows for single-card revelations and full-deck transformations. The magician can control whether the effect happens on the face or back of the cards.

Who should consider the trick

This trick suits magicians who want a high-impact mentalism effect with minimal sleight of hand. It works well for professionals performing in restaurants or close-up settings. Beginners can also use it because it does not require advanced techniques.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The Reverse Mental Photography Deck is easy to perform. It does not rely on complex sleight of hand, making it accessible to most skill levels. The gimmick does the work, so the magician only needs to focus on presentation.

What magicians say

Eric Tate calls it "one of the most powerful pieces of card magic you'll carry in your pocket." He has used it professionally for two decades, proving its reliability. The trick is restaurant-tested, meaning it works well in real-world performances. Tate considers it his favorite card trick ever.

The deck offers a fresh take on classic mental photography effects. It is visually stunning and leaves spectators baffled. Magicians who enjoy gimmicked decks and visual transformations will appreciate this trick.
