With Portraits you will be pleased by both sight and touch when you handle this deck fresh out of the box. It's impossible not to be impressed by the original design and quality.
Disguised as a card game as a psychological subtility for the layman and designed by its creator, Olivier Zaragosa. Portraits features powerfully hypnotic graphics coupled with modern attractive packaging. Trust us Portraits meets all the expectations you may have in terms of an innocuous card game with zero suspicion. It has gained popularity in the art of magic. It's proved exceptionally successful as a deterrent of suspicion.
Important: With Portraits, it's not about offering your spectators card effects with a traditional deck including Spades, Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs. The 52 cards represent celebrities known to everyone -- worldwide -- from sports, music, politics or movies. Young or aged, living or deceased, men or women, these personalities will allow you to perform real miracles. They also serve as perfect icebreakers and easy talking points for anyone! Celebrities have the power to connect with your spectators much stronger than the traditional card deck. Use this to your advantage in your routines.
Mentalists and Magicians alike! Whether you're a mentalist in search of amazing revelations and predictions, or a magician wanting a comedic routine. Either way Portraits has you covered. The effects included are perfect for you - we just know it!
Enhanced by an instructions video just shy of 90 minutes which contains 10 magic effects using principles that you will absolutely enjoy. These applied principles are ones you will either discover or rediscover in card magic. Most impressive is the manner in which these principles adapt so perfectly to the theme! It's ingenious. Even better you'll find yourself creating your own routines.

"There's 10 tricks pretty easy to do. You'll be able to find the one that works the best for you. This is fun way to do out of this world, triumphs, king's tapestry effects... So great for mentalists who'd like to use something that's not a deck of cards! The art is great and so universal with actors, celebrities and people well-known. Really good job."

"Portraits sets the bar exponentially higher than any other celebrity deck ever created. That is perhaps the most understated yet true fact about this effect. Trust me don't make the mistake of thinking you already have something like this."
