I need a deck of 52 poker cards that are double faced and each card has the same face on both sides. Anyone know where I can buy a deck like that? Most of the shops just sell a deck of 52 double face but the faces are different on each side.

This site sells a "twin faced" deck. Only problem is, they're Carta Mundi playing cards so might look a little out of place in a deck of USPCC cards.
Hello.

If you want to buy double faced cards with the same face I strongly suggest that you don't wear make-up. That way you will always have the same face

The only cards I've seen like that are blank face / blank face.
Other than that you're probably looking at a custom job.

There is (or was) a politically incorrect deck available as a novelty item with the name of "the Polish deck" (or something similar). This deck has the same faces on both sides.
Also Marcello Contendo sold (sells?) a card-wheel/star effect that utilizes this principle. |

I know for a fact that someone makes them, because when I purchased the card effect "Amazing grace" at Hank Lee, it came with these cards. Some other effects I purchased had these cards, too I just don't remember what they were at the moment.

Most double faced decks come with a few of those - hell I've got tons of em and don't use them.
If you do know of a good routine for these things, please fill me in; I've literally got about 50 of these just sitting around.

Yes, I was just going to say that I usually end up with about 10 same face double-facers in each deck I order. Those plus the 4 joker cards and several blank-face-on-one-side cards ends me up with about 30 usable cards. Makes me very upset. Please let me know of a better use than swearing at the dealer.

Aren't there a number of well-known effects using a "Same Both Sides" double-faced deck? Paul Curry included one or two of them in his book "Special Effects" back in the 1970's, and I'm thinking that someone (Glenn Gravatt?) published a whole book entitled "Same Both Sides." I know there's a trick with such a deck in Gravatt's book "Treasure Trove of Magic." I'm surprised these decks are hard to find.

Tdowell,
Try the Art of Card Splitting video. You will save a lot of money if you can do it right. Cheers! |
