I would just replace it with a card from a standard deck. You know which one was replaced...

This is a viable solution. Do note, however, that three pieces of information will need to be retained and associated with that missing card. Also, make sure you're replacing it with an 809 Mandolin back card--not a Rider back card.

Me? I'd simply keep using it with the signature card in there.

I bought the code a few days ago. It will arrive tommorow. I know it's good because so many reviewed it as such. I'm just curious what's possible with it.

I am a newbie to this forum so please be kind. (Hope I did not do anything wrong with this post) I used an effect with the code and it was awesome! Here was the effect: I had two blue decks in their cases under glass tumblers on the table with a red deck in the middle. I had the spectator select a card from the red deck and I separated it from the face down spread. I then asked the spectator to look at the card, show everyone in the room and place it back in the deck, shuffle and put it back in the card case, after I left the room. When I returned I was able to magically tell the spectator that their card was the 22 card from the top of the deck in one of the blue decks. Another spectator removed the card case from under the glass, counted the cards from the top and then I asked what their card was before turning over the 22nd card. It was their card. They were blown away at this point. Then I removed the second blue deck from it's case and told them that I turned one card over in the deck before hand. As I fanned out the cards face up, the only card face down was their card. This really blew everyone away, and after doing about an hour of magic everyone like this trick the best.

Thanks to the CODE and an I________ D________.

I love it too! I use it so much it's becoming a bit loose and distressed (as am I as a result). Do you know if they sell just the deck without the DVD? I'm certainly fine buying whole thing. Curious...

I think some even did a bit where they spread some M cards across a pool table - mixed them and had someone shoot the ball. Wherever it landed - card taken but remains face down. Pull out your ID - do reveal of one face down card - then instruct spectator to look at theirs - the one the ball landed on.

Sorry to keep dragging the thread further off topic, but having invoked the name of the little northern monkey, I thought it only fair to investigate who actually originated this effect. It appears to be widely credited to Eddie Fields who used an ID, and crops up periodically with renewed interest, usually when it's been done on TV. There is lots of discussion around variations of performance and method if you google 'pool table card trick'. Thanks for bringing it up, interesting concept.

Now back to your scheduled discussion of The Code!

So I accidentally signed one of the cards in my Code deck. Lol.

Do I:

1. Get a new deck. (sounds a bit extreme since its only one card)
2. Just play off the signature somehow.
3. Replace it with a duplicate card from a non-code deck.


Any help would be grateful.

Little help with THE CODE. Trying not to expose anything with this. BUT....I bought a replacement deck, one of which I've never broken the seal on nor cracked the cellophane. What does it look like right out of the box? I can't recall. Is it ready to go? There are no instructions or jokers or a list of the TS or anything are there? I know I could easily play it off if there is, but I have a big corporate gig coming up and I want to do the whole "I have here an unopened pack..." jibber jabber up top. Please help. Love you all!
