  1. What Is the Quinlan So-Sure Deck?

    The Quinlan So-Sure Deck is the best of three different magic decks combined into one fantastic utility deck.

    It is an one-way forcing deck combined with a marked deck and stripper cut.

    You read right!

    Genius!  We know.

  2. What Can I Do With a Quinlan So-Sure Deck?

    Well, maybe the question should be, “What can’t you do with a Quinlan So-Sure Deck?”

    First, let’s pose the problem. 

    If
    you are like us, your whole act depends on your volunteer selecting a
    particular card.  We have seven different tricks we use in our
    routine all based on the volunteer taking one particular card – the
    Nine of Hearts.

     Every one of the effects in our one-hour routine works as a revelation of that chosen card.  

    It
    has to be the Nine of Hearts to be shown when the mechanical duck picks
    a card, when we open our “insurance policy,” when we pull a silk out of
    another spectator’s bra, when we pop the balloon, when we do the
    Twentieth Century Bra-Trick with a different spectator (the number “9”
    is on one cup and the “Heart” is on the other), etc.

    But maybe your audiences are less-demanding than our kid show audiences and wouldn’t care if every trick you did failed. 

    But you can also use The Quinlan So-Sure Deck to do the Ultimate Ambitious Card!

    Your
    spectator selects a card, say the Nine of Hearts, you can have them
    sign the card and put it back in the deck.  With a few cuts, their
    card comes to the top of the pack.  It is not just a matching
    card, it is their signed card!

    How about a Card at Any Number trick? 
    (You can’t show the other cards along the way, though).

      How about an examinable version of the Svengali Deck finale?
      (You can’t make it turn back to different cards obviously)

      How about a gambling demo showing how you could deal a certain card to any position on the table?
        (You’d have to make sure all the other hands are dealt face down, obviously).

    3. How Does the Marking System Work?

      Well,
      we don’t want to disclose the ingenious method we’ve used to mark every
      card in the deck (except the one indifferent card), but we can give you
      some hints.

      First of all, because the mark is the same on every
      card in the deck (except the cover card) it is almost invisible to the
      eye. 

      After all, each card looks like the other.  Only you will know that the one card without a mark is the different card.

      So
      the second they take a card from your Quinlan So-Sure Deck, you’ll be
      able to tell whether it is the force card, or the one-in-a-fifty-two
      chance selection of the cover card.

      Either way, you’ll know.

    4. Why Not Just Mark the One Different Card?

      There
      is always a faction of the manufacturing community bent on finding the
      “easy way out” or the “least expensive method” or “more logical system”
      or “obvious” when it comes to making a product.

      They’re Marked on Both Sides!

      We could assume
      you as magician would be able to remember that every card in the deck
      without our ingenious marking system is the force card but then you
      wouldn’t be paying for craftsmanship, just an efficient “logical”
      method of discriminating between the two types of cards.

      The last time we checked, the great magicians of history and today do not take short-cuts.

      You don’t see Criss Angel or David Blaine using some cheap studio or camera trick to accomplish their miracles, do you? 

      Kreskin and Dunninger didn’t use “plants” or “stooges” to read minds or find hidden objects.

      And Pamela Anderson didn’t get where she is today by taking the “easy” or “artificial” way. 

      We’re
      like these great performers rolled into one proud company.  We
      were founded weeks ago on the principle, that “quality first” means
      something. 

      True, it may not mean the same thing to you as it does to us but we can agree it means something.

      So,
      let the other magic companies sell you their rip-off version of The
      Quinlan So-Sure Deck but don’t come crying to us when you get confused
      and think your spectator took the force card when actually it was the
      one-in-fifty-two cover card.

       

      Remember when you get ready
      to pull the bra out of the spectator’s blouse you have a
      one-in-fifty-two chance of looking foolish to your Kid Show audience.

      We know from experience mothers want magicians who are not foolish or embarrassing for their kids’ parties.

    5. How Much Does the Quinlan So-Sure Deck Cost?

      We
      can tell you this much, it costs less than getting barred from
      performing at elementary school assembly programs for an entire
      semester because you “embarrassed” students or “looked foolish.”

      You
      could make your own deck, of course, by buying 51 decks of cards — all
      with the same back design — and assemble your own forcing deck. 
      You would then have to mark 51 cards in each of the 51 decks. 
      Then you’d have to specially apply the stripping.

      If you bought 51 one decks of cards, that would cost well over $30.00 or $85.00.

      Now, take the time to mark each back of each deck and you’re looking at about nineteen years of work.

      Finally strip the deck and with the inevitable mistakes and power-tool injuries, you’re out about $720.00 a deck. 

      We don’t sell The Quinlan So-Sure Deck directly. 

      Our Tricky Triangle Marketing System

      The
      only way you can buy one is to purchase from one of our authorized
      sales representatives.  They are usually willing to sell to the
      inner-circle of magicians for just a few points over “wholesale
      price.”  They’ll even show you the wholesale price list.

      In
      fact, if you would like to become involved in one of the fastest moving
      money-making systems in magic, check out our Tricky Triangle Marketing
      System web page for the details on how you could make over
      $1,000,000.00 in a single week. 

      But suffice to say, the decks are reasonably priced.  (But you will still make a ton of money selling to others, though!)

    6. What’s Next?  New Products?

      We don’t like to talk about our new products before they are released but we can give you a mini-preview.

      Coming in 2006: Quinlan’s So-Sure Invisible Deck

      What’s easier than forcing a blank card from a deck of blank cards?

      How about contracting to print the “blank cards” with a Chinese prison-labor manufacturer.

      We
      didn’t think it would be difficult to get the blank cards produced for
      our decks but it was a problem.  We hope to have this deck ready
      in the new year. 

      You’ll be able to do the Ultimate Ultimate Ambitious Card routine.  Their blank card shows up where ever you want. 

      We even have stripping on the decks so they can be sure it is the same blank card they selected. 

      Mini Flying Car

      We
      have a table-top version of Lance Burton’s Flying Car Illusion using
      Hot Wheels Cars and a little driver made out of chewing gum freshly
      obtained from the mouth of any audience member.

      (NO STOOGES!
      The gum they’ve been snapping and gnawing all show becomes the modeling
      media for the little occupant of the Hot Wheel Cars). 

      Is This Your Pizza?

      We
      bought the distribution rights to this incredible effect as soon as it
      was available.  We are upgrading the box (it now looks like an
      actual pizza delivery box instead of the old version with the metal
      hinges and sharp edges). 

      There will be two new routines for the effect as well.

      “Is This Your Pizza?” A Classic Reborn

      You
      can do the traditional mentalism bit with the hot pizza coming out with
      the toppings as chosen and placed on the spectator’s drawing.  Or,
      with the advent of the new washable, temporary tattoos, we’ve created a
      way to let one spectator actually make the “pizza” on the stomach or
      back of another spectator. 

      The audience will love it when
      you tell the spectator to “draw a circle on the other spectator’s
      exposed stomach or (non-hairy) back and populated it with tattoos of
      pizza toppings.

      What’s That Smell?

      That’s what your audiences will be saying over and over after they see this novel, fully-scripted routine. 

      Do not be confused by cheap imitators who beat us to the market. 

      Our
      version is made by expert craftsmen and comes with a easy to use “Load
      and Go” device that will silently dump the squares of bacon or liver
      into your hand. 

      Tired of having to wash your hands in between tables? 

      Looking for an instant reset?

      You get it here and only here. 

      We
      designed this to accommodate our nicotine stained fingers so that even
      the most “up-tight” table will want to smell your fingers. 

      We
      note there is a version on the market currently under the name “Smell
      This!” that uses artificial bacon bits and Liv-a-Snaps Dog
      Treats.  Don’t settle for less!  Your audience deserves the
      real thing. 

      You’ll need to specify if you’re right or left handed.
