The RaMa Deck by Owen Packard

Here's what PAUL ZENON said about the Rama Deck:
"I get a bit tired of listening to card 'purists' talking out of their Ascanio Spread about there being no need to use gaffed decks; that's like saying that if you can paint， you don't need a camera. This is an ingenious and versatile combination of principles - a must-have for any jobbing magician."When was the last time you bought a gimmicked deck that you could use for more than one trick? Well， here's a deck you can use for your ENTIRE SHOW. What's more， that show will seriously kick arse. The possibilities are truly endless. This has been called the greatest utility deck since the “Invisible”.

Imagine this:

*You leave the room as your victim shuffles and cuts the cards before taking one and putting it in his pocket. You return and immediately – without even touching the deck – know which card he has chosen. This is like REAL magic!

*You hand your spectator two decks and turn away from him. He puts one deck in his pocket and shuffles the other. He takes a card from the mixed deck and hides it in his pants (the sicko). You turn back and ask him to hand you the deck he dropped in his pocket BEFORE he shuffled the second deck. You spread it to show one face down card. It’s the same card as he currently has in his pants!!!

*You write a prediction of 2 cards on your business card. Your volunteer pushes the card into the middle of the deck. The cards it is touching are taken out and， of course， match the prediction.

*The cards are shuffled. You run through them for ten seconds and can then appear to have memorised the order of the entire deck. A guy cuts the pack and turns over the top card and you can tell him which card comes next. And the one under that. And the one under that. You get the idea.

Notice the variety of effect possible? Sound good so far? There's more...

The cards can be examined – on both sides.
They can be shuffled and cut by you or the spectator.
You never have to see their card – even the back – to know what it is.
No knucklebusting moves required. A beginner magi can operate the RaMa and perform amazing tricks!
It can be used as a normal deck – no more switching.
The possibilities are endless. This has been called the greatest utility deck since the “Invisible”.
