Overview

Fake ‘n” Genius 2 card deck is a deck of playing that have colorful cartoon like pictures that can be inserted into a regular deck of cards to create moments of amusing by-play. The pictures themselves resemble what you would find on flash cards and are obviously designed to amuse young children.

Effect

There are 55 cards in the deck and can be used to create stories, simple card tricks or basic transformations. For example, you can shuffle the deck and create a nonsensical story as you turn the cards over. Another possibility is to set up the deck with the diametrically opposed pairs. For example, you can show a picture of an egg, tap in on the table, place the card back on the deck and turn it back over to show the egg cracked.

Method

The story deck idea only requires one to shuffle a deck and tell the story as the cards reveal themselves. The transformations require a basic / intermediate sleight. What is needed most with this deck is an imagination.

Product Quality

The cards are printed by the US Playing Card Company on Bicycle card stock so the quality of the actual cards are as one would expect. Unfortunately, there are no instructions, so if you are one that is devoid of originality as I am, you may have a difficult time trying to figure out what to do with the deck. There is a DVD available that can lead you in a direction.

Ad Copy Integrity

Everything in the ad copy is correct if you are a creative individual. I personally cannot transfer a card trick I know to this deck or figure out where I can utilize the concepts indicated. Having to buy an additional DVD to utilize the deck is this products weakest attribute.
