You borrow some items from an audience member: Driver’s License, Credit Card, Photo of their spouse, Library Card, whatever they will give you. You put them in your back pocket as you talk about identify theft. They start to fear that you are an identity thief.
You explain that you are a not just a taker that you will give back at least as much as you take. Turn your back to the audience and tell them that you want them to take your wallet out of your pocket.
They reach into your pocket and remove a leatherette wallet (you can have it partially sticking out of your pocket for easier access). They untie a cord around the wallet and open it up. Inside they find two metal panels that have 32 notches punched into the steel. Wrapped around each pair of notches are rubber bands. 16 Rubber Bands in all.
Under one of the bands but on top of the panels is a white card. It’s a photograph, of your Pride & Joy!
Behind another rubber band (something you choose, perhaps your favorite packet trick, maybe Color Monte?) Anything to stall them and make them feel a bit uncomfortable about the whereabouts of their belongings.
Finally, let them undo all the rubber bands and separate the metal plates, in between them, they find everything that they gave to you!
Can also be used like a modern Card To Wallet! Make a signed playing card appear inside.
The cards look amazing. The blue gilding really stands out on these cards and give them a luxurious look. Thank you again for these cards and your amazing customer service. I'd definitely recommend your company to any other card aficionados out there.
First of all, may I say how proud I am of Emily's selfless work and generosity to this project. She is an overcomer and bravely wants to uplift all others that silently suffer from mental illness. ; For those who have lost loved ones to this horrific disease, we are truly sorry.
Now about the deck...it is beautiful! There is also informational details and how appropriate to use a "forget me not". Did you see what the courts are holding? Em always has attention to the details that are fun to find, but this deck hits differently. Well done EmilySleights52, an important deck that needed to be done.
If you are suffering please call the number, you are more than worth it.
This deck is literally stunning and the pattern on the back is so eye catching. I don't know if I could pick an absolute favorite of all EmilySleight52 decks, but this one would be one of the tops. The tuck is different and beautiful. Grab this one while it is still available, you won't be sorry!
Emily’s decks are so pretty & fun! This mystery half brick is a great value, not to mention fun to receive! If you can’t decide which decks to buy, let her pick for you! You won’t be disappointed! You’ll also get more than you pay for by going the half brick route. Highly recommended.
I bought Bloom Sapphire on Kickstarter and then bought two more decks. I love the weight and feel of the cards. They shuffle smoothly and look great in a fan.

I own the Breakthrough decks in red and blue and absolutely love them. They were gifted to me by a friend and wow what an amazing gift! The stock and finish handle very well- just as I like and the message is inspiring. These cards make me feel good every time I see them. I’ve made flowers out of these decks and they handled perfectly. A lot of times with more solid colored cards, I notice the finish doesn’t hold up as well and shows wear more easily- but not these! These held up beautifully to all my manipulating them and turned into flowers I’m proud of. I loved working with these cards.

Gorgeous cards and handle beautifully !
This Nebula deck was my first deck of cards by Emily. They’re beautiful, they handle so well, the stock is just what I like, and they remain one of my favorite decks of cards in my collection. I’m an artist and I make flowers out of playing cards. Quality of the cards is super important for me in my craft in addition to beautiful design… After receiving this deck- I’ve been collecting all decks with Emily’s name on them. Fantastic addition to any collection!

An improved rerelease of Emily's first deck.
The original 11th Hour was good, but this version increases the elegance and class with the gold foil. The marking system isn't hard to get used to. The one-way back is subtle and makes finding a spectator's card fool proof. I love the hue of the red ink chosen for the pips and courts. A great magician's deck!
