SEDLADECK (BERNARDO SEDLACEK)

Bernardo Sedlacek has been fooling magicians and laypeople around the world with his brand of devious magic that is powerful, visual and direct. He often closes his shows and lectures with his Sedladeck.

It is a devilishly structured routine where a deck of cards is placed in full view as you pretend to remove its spirit or essence.

A spectator or spectators pretend to eliminate/erase imaginary cards from the imaginary deck until there is one free selection left. That imaginary card is then turned face up, so it is the only face-up card in the imaginary deck.

When the real deck, that has been in full view the entire time, is said to have duplicated the imaginary deck, you remove the cards from the case, show that the freely selected card is the only one that is face up. But as a kicker ending you explain that throughout the procedure the spectators were erasing cards so when you spread the rest of the deck on the table all the cards are shown to be blank.

No deck switches. No rough and smooth. No sticky cards. No forcing. No difficult sleights. Can be used with any poker-size back design. Resets in seconds.

Comes complete with the necessary gaffed deck and a link to a one-hour video tutorial that teaches you how to perform the self-working version plus many other variations, additions and the psychology to the basic routine. This is the edition he is selling during his US lecture tour and it includes bicycle cards for both red or blue so you can customize it to your liking.
