Les Méliés: Eclipse Edition Features By Michael Blau Pure Imagination Projects
Venture onward
The Markings One of the biggest secrets of the Les Méliés: Eclipse Edition deck is their marking system. It is very well hidden and virtually undetectable. The Pure Imagination Projects team has provided you with a devious tool that will surely bring your magic to a whole new level. In addition, the markings are extremely well-hidden and their position is very purposeful. We have placed these markings in the bottom left and upper right corners. This placement passes the “riffle test” and prevents a spectator’s finger from blocking your view of the mark as they select a playing card. It is important to credit the “Speedreader Marked Deck” by Garrett Thomas, which also employs a similar marking system. The cards are marked by their number: A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K and their suit is by letter: C-clubs, H-Hearts, S-Spades, D-Diamonds. It is a very simple marking system that you will be able to master within minutes.
One-Way Back Design The Les Méliés: Eclipse Edition features a one-way back design. The one-way feature is located in the stars above the moon’s head on either end of the card.
The Card Revelation This next reveal is an original, never before used in a deck of cards. From a brand new sealed Les Méliés: Eclipse Edition deck, the Seven of Hearts appears face up in the middle of the deck. Therefore, you could force the Seven of Hearts in another deck and then reveal it to “magically” reverse itself in your Les Méliés: Eclipse Edition deck. An additional benefit of this reversed card is that it was printed backwards. This means that the face of the card and the back of the card are “switched”, therefore, the card is “reverse cut”. When you, turn the Seven of Hearts face down in the deck, you will be able to identify it by glancing at the edge of the cards. This becomes a floating key-card that you can use straight from a brand new deck of playing cards.
Reversed Mnemonica Stack The new Les Méliés: Eclipse Edition deck comes in reversed Mnemonica Stack order (Tamariz Stack). One overhand shuffle and cutting the Nine of Diamonds to the face of the deck puts you into full Mnemonica stack ready to perform miracles. We must of course credit Juan Tamariz for creating one of the greatest stacked decks in card magic.
These are just some of the features in the new Les Melies deck. We encourage you to discover the rest on your own. Voyage Onward!
