"Immediately after hearing about the existence of USPCC Bicycle Deck Seals, ideas began flowing in my mind about all the different things you could accomplish with them. I knew I had to pick a few of these up. So I ordered the Regular and Tiger versions of these seals.

The moment I first laid my eyes on the seals, I was very impressed. They are exactly the same colour, size and print of the regular seals that come on USPCC packs of cards - absolutely identical. I knew these were going to be very useful, and I began really brainstorming and practicing...

My first performance using the seals was for my mother, father and sister. I produced 2 sealed decks (one Blue, one Red), and asked my father which one we should use. He chose the Blue one, and I left the Red pack in the middle of the table.

After showing that the deck was in factory order, I allowed him to cut and shuffle this new deck as much as he liked. On taking it back, I spread the deck and told him to pick a card. He selected the 9 of Clubs. After showing it around to my mother and sister, he placed it back inside the deck where he liked. I proceeded to shuffle the deck thoroughly, and he did the same.

After shuffling the deck a little more, I riffled the deck very quickly, showed my hands to be empty, and told them my father's card had vanished. I allowed them to look through the pack, and it was gone.

Now for the big reveal. I then had my father open up (and break the seal of) the Red pack, and spread them out. In the middle of the deck was a Blue-backed card. He turned it over, and it was indeed his selected card. The reactions were wild.

That's just a sample of the kind of thing you can accomplish with these useful things. Make a card vanish from any deck, and reappear in a sealed pack that was in plain view of the spectators the whole time. You can bring out an Invisible, Svengali, or any other gimmicked deck and perform miracles without the slightest bit of suspicion from spectators.

The thing I really like about the Deck Seals is that they can be used with any USPCC decks - not just Bicycle decks. I use Bee decks for a favourite Gambling-themed effect I perform quite regularly (which requires certain cards to be setup on the bottom of the deck). But this effect is even more convincing when using the Deck Seals, as the seals eliminate all suspicion that there were cards set up beforehand.

The Deck Seals come in packs of 20, more than enough to get you started, and shipping is free, as long as you have a shippable item in the same order.

They are very useful and have a lot of applications. I highly recommend them. "
