Review: Craig Petty's Atomic Deck

The Atomic Deck by Craig Petty is a clever card trick where a selected card keeps returning to the top, but it's fragile and tricky to handle. The reviewer compares it to K Kranzel's trick and Christian Grace's Miracle One, praising its brilliance but pointing out its downsides. They also share a free, more reliable sleight of hand alternative.

Key points

  • The Atomic Deck is brilliant but has handling challenges and fragile components.

  • The reviewer prefers their own sleight of hand method for reliability and cost.

  • Techniques like the bottom deal and midnight shift are highlighted as useful for other tricks.

  • The Atomic Deck's need for telephone information and magician handling are seen as limitations.
