SleightfulMagic Review - Fire Deck by Anthony Vasquez
David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a detailed review of Anthony Vasquez’s “Fire Deck,” a unique prop that brings a fiery surprise to card magic. This second iteration adapts the fir wallet concept into a deck of cards, allowing magicians to produce flames from a standard deck before launching into a card routine. The deck utilizes a silent, USB-powered lighting system housed within a modified tuck box, handmade by Anthony Vasquez. While the deck doesn't include cards and requires a lighter fluid purchase, David appreciates the silent operation and the quality of the gimmick. The 30-minute tutorial, available as a Google Docs download with subtitles, guides users through setup, troubleshooting, and performance tips. David suggests using the fiery effect as a captivating opener and recommends transferring the mechanism to a new tuck box if the original is damaged. Overall, he considers the $35 Fire Deck a worthwhile investment for magicians seeking a visually striking element for their performances, especially given its ease of use and the potential for customization.
