Default Blue Gaff Deck (MagicMakers)

Hi,
this is my first review. The Blue Gaff Deck is not a new product, but I didn't find any review describing the very exact content of this deck, so I decided to do it.

Blue Gaff Deck from MagicMakers
Blue Gaffed Deck

Content:
1 Jack of Diamonds - Red "dogs" back
1 Jack of Hearts - Blue "fans" back
1 Jack of Spades - Blue Tally-Ho Fan back
1 Jack of Clubs - Red Tally-Ho Circle back

3 Blank Face - Red back
3 Blank Face - blue back

3 Joker - Blue back

1 Seven of Spades - Seven of Spades

1 King of Spades - Blank back
1 Ten of hearts - Blank back

5 Queen of Hearts - Red Back
4 Queen of Hearts - Nine of Spades

2 Ace of Hearts - Four of Spades
1 Ace of Diamonds - Seven of Hearts
1 Ace of Spades - Four of Hearts
1 Ace of Clubs - Seven of Spades

1 King of Spades/King of Clubs - Blue back
1 Jack of Spades/Jack of Clubs - Blue back
1 King of Diamonds/King of Hearts - Red back
2 Jack of Diamonds/Jack of Hearts - Red back
1 Jack of Spades/Jack of Clubs - Red back
1 Queen of Spades/Queen of Clubs - Red back
1 Queen of Diamonds/Queen of Hearts - Red back

1 Ace of Diamonds with mis-indexed 2C pip - Red back

1 Three of Clubs - Red back

1 Ace of Diamonds with mis-indexed 2C pip - Blue back
1 Two of Clubs with mis-indexed AD pip - Blue back
1 Three of Clubs - Blue back

3 Red/Blue Double back
1 Red/Red Double back
1 Blue/Blue Double back

1 Blue Bicycle/Red Tally-Ho Circle back
1 Red Bicycle/Blue Tally-Ho Fan back

1 Five of Spades - Two Back cards, blue and red
1 Four cards (four ten) stacked vertically - Red Back
1 Four cards stacked horizontally - Red Back
1 Five of Hearts/Seven of Clubs - Red Back
1 Three of Clubs - Red Back/Jack of Diamonds

Famous tricks you can perform with them:
B'Wave
MacDonald's Aces
Million Dollar Monte
Parade of the Kings
Princess Card Trick
Wild Card

The deck comes just with the instructions for the Parade of the Kings trick, but they also give you a a link to a pdf in the MagicMakers website with other tricks. I suggest you to take a look to "Packet Killer" DVD from Simon Lovell for a good collection of tricks that you can perform with these cards.

I suggest this deck to all the persons (like me!) that need "basic" gaff cards, and do not want to spend money for each single trick/card. The quality of the cards is the same of standard Bicycle cards and the gaff are good. Some of them are not perfect (slightly misaligned border lines of double Jack and Queen cards) but nobody will see it.

Maybe I would have preferred some famous gaff card like "52-on-1" or "3 ½ of Clubs", instead of some duplicates in the deck, but overall I am pretty satisfied. I think it is a very good mix of gaff cards, for a very good price.

Exo Carries the deck too.

ExoMagic Store

Gaffs are always fun to work with. I personally love making my own also.

Any of the cards in there that you will NEVER use??

I have red back gaff and black tiger gaff.
For me, the gaff from black tiger is more various.
I dont know about ghost but i think it will be like the black tiger
I recommend it.
