Description
The Optricks Red Edition -Â Take your magic to another dimension.
The animation of the original Optricks deck from Mechanic Industries proved to be a big hit. The bold black-and-white geometric design created a hypnotic optical illusion that was perfect for card magic and flourishes. Little wonder that many were disappointed to discover it was sold out. Now, this innovative deck is back, even better than before! Our expert Mechanics took the Optricks Deck in for a complete overhaul. In the process, they made changes under the hood, giving you the power to create a spectacular new kind of card magic that will have your spectators hardly believe their eyes.
The first thing you'll notice with the Optricks Red Edition is that the paintwork has been resprayed a stunning red. But that's just the start! It's been supercharged by adding a brand-new assortment of some of the most innovative gaff cards imaginable. And here at Mechanic Industries, we don't just believe in giving you a brand-new shiny deck with extras as standard. We also provide you with powerful magic routines created especially to showcase these cards at their very best. With options and accessories you've previously only dreamed about, our cutting-edge creativity means you will combine optical illusions and sleight of hand, creating magic the likes of which have never been seen before.
" what is especially great about the back design is that when the deck is riffled, each card back flips from one to another, and due to slight differences from one card to the next, this creates a mesmerising and hypnotic illusion as the cards are flipped through. It appears as if the squares sink into each other and come to a point, and truly is a great piece of optical trickery. " -Ender's Game Review, Reviewer

Our new Anamorphic Gaff - twisting sight and bending minds
This is a totally new concept in sleight of hand. Our eye-popping anamorphic gaff card uses an optical illusion technique to open up a whole new world of exploration. Now you can use your favorite sleights and color changes in order to create routines that will astound your audiences in a whole new way. It's based around the anamorphic art concept, where your viewpoint makes the most magical moments come to life. We're supporting this card by providing you with a host of routines and sleight combinations for easy-to-do, hard-hitting magic.
Our new OptiBox Gaff - a new angle on empty box trickery
The OptiBox Gaff is our ingenious approach to a faux 'empty box' type routine. We've come up with a gaff that is easy to implement and use - on just about any deck! Due to the deceptive and clever method our engineers have come up with, you won't need any advanced sleight of hand. With fair and easy handling, this surprising effect won't arouse your audience's suspicion but is certain to blow their minds. Even people who knew in advance what illusion we were creating were fooled by it when they first saw it! The magician will welcome this powerful concept we've created because you can easily use it to enhance your existing routines. Or use your own creativity to develop whole new routines around it. Once again, we'll get you started by including a detailed video that teaches you how to hook up your gaff and a couple of routine ideas to inspire you.
Our Extras -Â the Grinder card and the double backer
Our Grinder Coin Joker is back - with a complete visual upgrade. The realistic rendering and shadows of the new Grinder artwork link the artwork to the real world and will really play tricks with your spectators. Now it's a double-facer, with one side featuring the Grinder Coin and the other side a very realistic tear hole. This is designed to strengthen the illusion that the coin is literally being ripped from the card into real life. It will also simplify routines like Grindout and make the handling much easier. To avoid any cold morning starts, we've created some concept tutorials to help you get the most out of this card.
We'll also include a versatile double backer with the deck. We appreciate card magic here at Mechanic Industries, so we know that you can use this to perform a wide range of magic. In addition, our videos will also show you how to use this card in conjunction with the gaffs for a seamless performance.
Join us for a fast-paced ride into a new dimension of magic with the new Optricks Red Edition.
NOTE: The seal is used for one of the effects, so you may want to open it cleanly by inserting thin blade into the box and running it along the edge.
