Magic Review - Atomic Deck by Craig Petty

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a thorough review of Craig Petty’s Atomic Deck, a self-working deck designed to perform the classic “Any Card at Any Number” effect. Receiving a review copy from Murphy's Magic, David investigates whether this deck lives up to the hype surrounding it as a potential “Holy Grail” of magic. The video provides a detailed examination of the deck's construction, included materials, and overall performance potential. The Atomic Deck is a standard-looking deck of cards printed by Legends Playing Card Company, and comes in a hard-shell white box with nearly 7 hours of tutorial content. While well-made, the deck has a plastic coating that feels different from a standard Bicycle deck. The core of the effect involves the spectator using a website to input a card and number, requiring internet access. Although easy to handle and reset, David expresses some hesitation about allowing inspection due to the plastic coating and unique nature of the deck. Ultimately, David considers the Atomic Deck a worthwhile purchase for magicians seeking a powerful and innovative take on the “Any Card at Any Number” effect, especially those who appreciate the quality of Craig Petty's work and the supporting content, but advises potential buyers to consider the reliance on technology and the limitations of the effect.
