Bicycle won't allow their design to be used on marked/gaffed/wonky cards but they will allow the use of maiden back designs for all of the above. It suits me because I use marked red maiden backs, so it's all good.

A fix for the 3 stuck cards at roof of case. As you hold the back of the case, just press down with your thumb on top of the rear section of the case in the middle. The slight downward flex of the case will make those cards drop. Do this as you tip the cards out. Totally invisible move.

Gaffer, the mismade catd is on maiden back because Bicycle don’t permit gaff cards on rider back.

A nice to the point review - thank you. And I will be glad to be one of your "few" online magic friends. 🙂

Its already been said that bicycle will not allow gaffed cards using the standard deck. I want to add that many magicians that i know are switching over to the mandolin deck because they favor the cheap marked deck that penguin sells. It pairs well with mem deck tricks. I use the box in some of my tricks. Does the card box fit in it? It would be nice to pull out the box with the cards in it to start the routine. Then pull the cards out and then cut them in half. It seems like a pretty tight fit.

This is on my list of things to get. Thanks for the review Gaffer!

Showed this to my wife, who is not a magician. She said it looks weird... you have a clip at the front to stop the cards falling out, but you don't have a clip at the back when you swing it round to stop the cards falling out. Now I can't un-see it.

Great review. You should do a few reviews more often

[martinwetzlinger]

It looks great. Mine is on the way, but it takes some time ti get here to Austria. Can’t wait 😊

[NickvonZ]

GREAT review! You should be sent items for free to review on a regular basis.
Even brought in the big LUCY!
It's a cool item.

[johnedgemon]

Really good review on this product, Gaffer! Maybe you could consider once a week or so of doing a review on a product! But even as a one-trick pony, I think it is a fantastic way to launch into a routine with other card tricks. Definitely looks like it's worth getting!

[magic_opi]

Thank you for the honest review.
Being Gaffer, you certainly will rebuild that gaff card with your favourite back design.

[kevcard]

Yes do some more reviews like a few others have mentioned Gaff

[stevensisk]

Great review, thanks for the honesty! The back choice was done because the maiden back cards are the hands down all time best marked cards (in my humble opinion). The surprise of the gaffed card reduced the chance that anyone will notice if you haven't got a maiden backed deck.

[Gigapixels]

Mind if I ask, I think there is a flap at bottom for the cards to angle bent downwards when you insert the blade correct? you wont be able to allow audience to see below box when u insert blade correct? thanks...

[rogerrugg]

Very much how I felt when I got mine. There's a Facebook group for owners that address some of the things you mention and i believe the tutorials have been updated with the info too. I don't have any maiden back cards either...🤷‍♂️

[darrenhadden]

Great review and agree with you about the bicycle card issue. I guess it takes some practice. Yiu seem to have it down. Too expensive for me. I have an idea about the gimmick. I don't like the name. Maybe Semi deck as in two? 🎉 Great illusion and ibsee why its selling like crazy. I liked the Mr Danger illusion thr best this year 🎉

[yuriydisman]

As a magician I pretty much figured out what it is just by watching you do it. You didn't flash or anything nothing like that I just guess I know what to look for. Seems like a pretty good trick for laypeople

[DavidLGood]

The sticking cards (cards that you have to pull out of the box individually) would be a deal-breaker for me. While it might not seem like that big of a deal, anything that distracting that you have to constantly deal with would simply distract from the overall illusion... and not distracting in a good way as it looks like you're pulling a slight of some sort, so the viewer might start to wander off in their heads as to what is going on and miss out of some of the beauty of the illusion. Otherwise, I really like it. Nicely done.

I ordered this the other day from Penguin Magic. It's coming soon. I can't wait. The problem is I'm right handed. I write left handed. This might be annoying for me to do. Only time will tell
