There's a lot of great stuff in that book.
Okay, I'll dig out a spare deck and set it up tomorrow if I get the chance. Your reason for thinner cards makes sense, now. Thanks for explaining. I don't think I will be doing that, though. I'll just grab a deck and start gluing. After doing the needed work, of course. Seems like a great reason to have an index, too. Although I would probably do it as a mental effect. With the peek deck, I'd know what card to get from my pocket, so I could have that card out (different back color) before having the participant name his card. Not as magical, but it would look like a really clean force when it is really something quite different. Or do it as a divination. I wonder why such a straightforward utility prop isn't more widely used... -Patrick |

Another item on the Peek Deck. In my rereading it said you *can* riffle shuffle the deck -- it's because the way the doubles are formed they fall as pairs when backs are up. I tried it several times -- no fails. Now I'm emboldened !!! Phil |

No doubt someone else has used the following as an effect. I may have read it somewhere but don't recall! But this came to mind yesterday and I tried it on the Mrs.
Use an Invisible Deck and the Peek deck. Have the spec peek a card from the Peek deck. Next pull the invisible deck out of a pocket. Announce that before the spec peeked you reversed one card in the deck. Spread to the reversed card and place it face down on the table. Have the spec announce the card he merely peeked at, then dramatically show the face down card to the audience! They match! This makes it a precognition effect rather than a mind reading effect. The Mrs. was astounded! (BTW, I've shown her the Peek Deck trick and the ID as separate tricks weeks ago... She didn't put two and two together that the props were the same.) It presents as an entirely different effect! |

Is this deck different from the "peek pack"? (Brian Gillis)

With the Taylor Peek deck the spec separates the deck with his forefinger to peek at a card. It appears that the magi handles the deck with the Gillis deck -- at least from the only video I've seen. In that video, I think the Gillis deck looks too much like a force. Phil |

I thought I had posted my update to my new improved peek deck. The neat part that I'll reveal hers is that my new version takes advantage of and uses the manipulation cards that we discussed earlier in this thread. And I don't need an index if one wants to do the card to pocket effect! A big plus. If anyone is interested in the construction send me a pm.

Thanks Doc. I was considering purchasing (just to have if nothing else) the "Peek Pack", but if I can do exactly the same thing with "Get Sharky", it wouldn't make any sense.
