There's probably no reason for me to review the Mirage Deck, OTHER THAN to focus more specifically on which manufacturer has created the Mirage Deck that you purchase. This is an ingenious piece of magic, and I use it primarily as a force deck. My deck, was made by Hanes House of Cards, using the old, narrow Fox brand. I then checked with my dealer about a bicycle version, and they showed one produced by Murphy's Magic. Good thing I looked at it before buying, as it was an appallingly bad version of Mirage. It had Daryl's endorsement, although I can't image that HE would use one of these decks. The cards, had length differences that were glaringlingy obvious to the eyes-and the shorter cards were cut so closely to the numbers, that NO normal deck would look like that. Plus, the cuts were irregular, NOT at 90 degree angles, and actually CAN be much more discreet/subtle, for the deck to work properly. I experienced similar dissatisfaction with Murphy's Mental Photography Deck-with the roughing fluid wearing off in a matter of a week's time. A Fox deck with the same effect, after a few YEARS, STILL functions perfectly. So, the message here, is if you seek out this great deck, don't buy the Murphy's version. This is too ingenious a concept to be mucked up by poor production 'value'.
