They are called one-way decks !
Try a dealer.

What he wants is a forcing deck. One way decks are different (think Bicycle League Back cards), though the term is often used when asking about forcing decks.

From every magic shop there is. those decks are called one way decks. But id`reccommend you to get two way decks (like A diamonds and Q hearts).

Thanks guys, that helps, I like to have lots of options just in case I have problems with a supplier etc.

Roger, thanks, I find it to be such a great trick that everyone assumes that they are trick cards("How else could it be possible??, I mean the 3 blank cards just change into aces????") so I give them away at the end, (I table them and say "In fact I don't even want them, they are nothing but trouble."). It gives the specs a great little souviner, and helps with word of mouth.

Thanks again for all of your help.

I used to give them out, but one time someone figured out the secret. He came up to me after the show and said that while he thought I was very good and much better looking then him, he figured out the trick. He then proceeded to do the routine, ver batem! (well, not as well as me, but still). I was so shocked I said "give me those *** cards back Ammar, and go sit down!"

Then, I lost my pants.

What a day!
