Dear all,

Please help me to identify this gaff deck, I've no clue!
It's composed of :
- A bunch of normal cards,
- A bunch of gimicked Ace of Diamonds/Normal cards, with a normal card on the back
- An ace of hearts with a joker on the back.

See picture in annex.
Thanks in advance, and good luck

No idea around?

Usually this forum is pretty good about figuring these things out. Even when wrong, the guesses are close. I have never seen anything like it but could think of things to do with those cards that I am sure the deck wasn't intended for. The AH/Joker could easily be used for ACE or NFW and the others would be a great force after fanning the cards and showing all different.

It's almost like a "Cheek to Cheek" deck, except for the additional "normal" pips in one corner of the duplicate cards (and the extra unique double-backer).

Perhaps the extra pips were added to the duplicates as a bonus feature to somehow attempt to improve (or to make possible an additional display to help further "sell" the apparent normalcy of) a standard Cheek to Cheek deck?

Omg that's the deck that I've been trying to figure out and after tons of research I think I did.

It's called the Fade-In deck to my belief. I have a routine I came up with because I thought it was worthy of one. But I would love to know the real routine I don't have the instructions but based on description of the effectiveness can come close to it. See my thread earlier today.

Are the gimmicked ace cards shorter (or longer) than the normal ones?
