Hi everyone!
I am planning on doing a "new" version of the "card to walnut" described in "Hocus Pocus Junior". The version I've come up with is in need of a historical looking (with indexes though) one way forcing deck. Does anybody know where to get one? Or do I have to order tons of decks to get hold of the right amount of duplicate cards?

Best,

The truth is that it doesn't matter that much as long as they look and have a "feel" of old time cards. I've used the Vintage Series 1800 Bicycle from Ellusionist for a couple of years now and I like them. It is not in a close up environment so the accuracy is secondary to the look of it. I am however performing in a medieval setting, but I need the cards to have indexes.

I found the answer by accident. Card-Shark in germany produces the "Heirloom deck" as a one-way. So now I am on my way with my historical trick.

Heirloom deck does look more ancient and authentic.
