I really enjoy performing Fragment, and I realize that one of its strengths is that it can be done totally impromptu with a borrowed deck of cards - which is great. But the reality is, most of the time I perform this, I'm in a situation where no one has a deck of cards - just me...and in those circumstance, I actually prefer to use a marked deck. Why? Because during the performance, you're claiming to have read their mind and know their card - so when they finally deal down to the card but just before they turn it over I say "And your card was the 4 of hearts, right?" When they confirm it, I give them a slight smile like "Great, I got it!" and then they turn over the 4 or hearts (or whatever card they selected). Hope that makes sense, and hope I'm not giving anything away.

I can obviously see how a marked deck would work with this but to me it’s whole strength is that it can be performed with any borrowed shuffled deck that doesn’t have to even be complete . You make much more use of a marked deck with effects than something that just doesn’t require it imo Gaz 🙂

I agree but Michael offers a couple of other handlings which are super super simple and one I actually prefer to the main handling Gaz 🙂
