This is was the first time ever ordering 2 mystery decks. I was really hoping I’d get something that’s bigger than the value of the mystery deck, and they were! I can say that I’ve made profit on my order: I’ve got the Moonshine Vintage Elixir 0807/1000, and the Mindset deck, fabulous and interesting decks! Definitely gonna buy other mystery decks next time!

Hi Dominic, I just received my February mystery box and after being a tiny weeny bit reluctant on what I'd receive, I can now say I am absolutely blown away with the incredible content which was worth well over £140!!! I cannot wait to go over my new tricks and incredible things you included. Thank you for being so kind and for re igniting the magician in me. You are a kind hearted, true gentleman and I hope all you touch turns to gold Dom. Many thanks and regards Tarkan

This a new kind of effect that just rock it is very important for stage and for closing it clients one more effective effect for them to think must have for any student planning to use it in or her act ! When you know how you may be able to create an news pepper effect using the same working! But do not tell anyone you know how the master shinlim did it on TV .. !

The mystery deck I ordered arrived yesterday. I LOVE these. The real magic here, is that I am really struggling with mental health and it's rather apt that these "Art of Play Mindfulness" cards arrive. Beautiful artwork.

Today I received my mystery decks as a beginner in deck collecting and wow I was impressed, the quality is outstanding and the mystery of opening was really fun, more business coming your way Merchant's Of Magic. These Mystery decks are highly recommended

Twelve mystery decks, not a single double, and some actually surprisingly nice cards. Honestly wouldn't have bought these cards individually, but getting them through the mystery... Fantastic, really. You get some excellent stuff you might just have overlooked or thought wasn't to your taste, turns out might feel and look stunning in your hands.

3rd Mystery Deck and another very cool looking deck. Comes with a double backer and really nice artwork on the court cards.

There something for every one from beginners to pros. I’m well impressed with this box as it as a wide range of stuff to keep you entertained and brush up your skills. It’s well worth the money as there are very generous with selecting what goes into this box. I know I will be buying every month Thank you magic shop

Bought a Mandalorian set for my son and couldn't resit the mystery pack. Disappointed not to get the pack in the bottle, that looks amazing. But I love the No13 pack I received and it will be my go to set from now on.

Dean A.

Love it. Works simply and is very effective. One thing I’d recommend changing is the pen that comes with it, it’s not great. I got straight online and ordered a new one. As you can see in the photo the top pen and cross are so much more visible. It’s also a pointed tip rather than chiselled which makes it much easier to draw the X the same

Customer photo review of Revolution - By Gregory Wilson

Lee G.

Wow. I love this. Perfect for the walk around street stuff that I enjoy doing. People are mesmerized. It’s definitely got legs. No hot spots. Just put in your practice time. I created a short cut that worked for me; I “gaffed” a “front” and “back” onto the gimmick to make it look like a single card, and then I practiced. And practiced. Then I used the “card” I practiced with to mark the card box to place the gimmick in the card box. I bought a second revolution to use with a pack of cards. I tho...

First time buying the mystery deck and it didn’t disappoint. I am completely new to magic so I am just starting to collect cards and this is great for somebody else to choose for me and the deck I received is worth more than I paid so it is win, win. I will be buying more. Thanks guys.

These Mystery Boxes really do have great stuff! Often something I haven't seen anywhere in the US. The value is often 2+ times what these boxes sell for. Very pleased with my Mystery Box purchases!

Customer photo review of Invisible Deck Bicycle (Red)

Howard J

The "Invisible Deck" seems to be a long time classic - any named card will appear reversed in the pack. I have started to use it as an emergency back up in case I lose track of a spectator's card. I recently panicked slightly (a spectator was inches away fiercely watching my hands) and I tried to transfer from pinky break to thumb break with only a very tiny gap. I realised that I had lost track of the chosen card but later pulled out the Invisible Deck from my pocket and showed that the earlier...

You need a lot of practice with this one and you will break a few before you get it right but one of the best effects ever need to be practiced in front of a mirror

Interesting set. I felt like this particular box was just about worth the money paid. There was 1 trick and some interesting gimmicks this time.

Okay, FREAK did "freak me out" on the demo video so, of course, I purchased it. Then I saw the method and was FREAKed again! Fun and easy. My opinion is NOT think about the method at all and let the story sell the effect. I've already performed it half a dozen times - great fun!

Great effect. Blew a few minds with one of the tricks quite soon after I got it. The rest are varying difficulty but produce great results!

Customer photo review of Butterfly Playing Cards - Black and Silver - Limited Edition

Joe G.

The single nicest deck I've ever had in my hands so far. Easily worth the price, ESPECIALLY compared to other decks at this price. Nothing has felt nicer or looked better. The only thing you might find is that the gilding makes it a strange feel, but they slip and slide like nothing else.

Great quality playing cards at a great price. I’m just starting some Cardistry practice and these are great to get started.

I started learning some card tricks with other cards I already had but they kept sticking and weren't easy to use. These bicycle cards are so much more fun to handle and even play with, you can't go wrong picking up a couple boxes. I'm sure I'll be back for more soon.

So nice to have access to a decent Svengali set made up from a good quality deck. It works smoothly and is well engineered which is why it costs a bit, but worth the investment. It's one of the only gimmicks I ever use in close-up as I usually rely on sleights and dexterity for most of my effects. The introduction of the gaming dice brings the count in to the present day...
