I use tons. I kinda collect gimmicked decks.

The two I use most are -

Marked Cards [as regular deck I use it's penguins]
Mental Photography.

I also however have and use on occasion -

Stripper
In Flight [Regal's Deck haven't used it yet]
Svengali
Mastermind
In a Flash [Top 3 card effects I do]
Pop Eyed Popper
Brainwave
Invisible
Split Deck [haven't used it yet]

Then I use gimmicks in cards. I love MacDonald's Aces so I use DF.

I really need to get better at ringing in decks... I think that's my biggest holdup to some of the really fun stuff sitting on my shelf.

It's a one-off effect and you'd need to switch out, but performing 52 to 1 feels like actual magic. Really liking that one lately.

Oh yeah! I like this...

I really don't like to use gaffed decks for the most part. I will always have a marked deck in play. Which I use all the time. So there is always an advantage there.. and of course the invisible deck which is a a great effect in itself.. but also a GREAT out if needed.

Rough and smooth Svengali...

Isn't that called a Mirage Deck?

For me I use a marked deck or invisible deck. I performed possible impossible once and now it sits in collection not being used. All other gaffes decks have sat in a drawer and I never perform with them, just look at them or play with them occasionally.

I'm mainly a kids show performer, but do love to use a few different gaffed decks when having fun with older kids or adults. I'm OK at some sleights but definitely no expert.

Being a hobbyist, I can not bring myself to carrying more than one deck of cards, if I even decide to take a deck with me. I do have a gimmicked card in my deck, would you consider that a gimmicked deck?
I do have gimmicked decks though none I felt were worthwhile in replacing the deck I do take with me.

I use an Invisible Deck in my stand-up show. For strolling, I use a deck that's arranged for a kicker, when performing Gemini Twins.

Well, it's not a gimmicked deck but gimmicked box and one card- REBOXED the magnetic version. Just started using it and really gets fantastic reactions!

Marked deck - prefer Night Flights by Steve Dela
Rainbow deck - cheesy but still a strong effect
Svengali - of course
Kidz Kards - Richard Pinner's winner!
Stripper
Mirage
Pop Eyed Popper
Al Baker deck
Invisible deck

Do you know it as a Mirage deck?

I own the standards: invisible, Svengali, stripper, a couple different marked, and a few other specialty decks. But I tend to prefer packet tricks. The main gaff deck I use is the invisible. It gets good reactions, but I actually tend to get better reactions from making the deck appear in an empty bag, than finding their card. I use Tommy James' "Lightning Fast Production Bag" (mesh front bag). If I did not have the bag, I would probably not do the invisible deck.

I started this thread over 12 years ago. It's funny how some things change. For the last several years, I haven't used any of the decks I originally listed. In fact, although I have over 100 gimmicked decks that do all manner of things it is a RARE day when one of them actually gets used.

I've got more than a lifetime's worth of material with a regular deck, so there's no reason to pull a gimmicked deck off the shelf.

Wow what a loaded question--Routinely

I use stacks & regular decks that are in fact marked for the most part but I often have

Phil 2
Position Impossible by Brent Braun
Imagine by Peter & Harty Nardi
Out of the Blue by James Anthony

I own many more that I like but if they require table SPACE I tend to not use them, as a strolling pro if the gig is big enough all the ones mentioned are in the bag & @ break I switch routinely between them.
