Hi all,
I have the Daryl's Encyclopedia of Card Sleights Looks like I need some tips from you,where do I buy One-Way Back Deck. I only find One Way Forcing decks. I have normal blue/red bicycle and Tally Ho decks. Morten Norway |

Lenny,
Both classic Bikes AND Tallys ARE one way backs The one way back design on Tallys is VERY subtle. As to Bikes, there IS a subtle one way design but, there is an easier way! The back itself is usually printed off center! Trust me, your spectators will NEVER catch this! So, you already DO have one way backs! If you PM me, I will tell you what to look for in the Tallys. Also, Bee decks are one way backs! Ahimsa, Vlad |

Actually, the cards are printed perfectly, but punched out off-center.

Vlad, I didn´t want to correct you, I just think that everything makes so much more sense as soon as we understand how USPCC works. The printing is perfect (most of the times) so the cards are perfectly aligned with the faces and backs.
This also means if a back is off-center, the face is also off-center. This all due to the way how they punch out cards. This also means that sometimes only a single card is off-center (grabber made a mistake) or 8 cards in a row are off-center (the slitter-mashine, that cuts the sheets in strips of 8 cards before the cards go to the puncher, made a mistake).

For the phoenix deck it's harder to see the one-way force. You have to look at the side. Look at the feathers on the right and left side. One has 2 and the other has 3. Very subtle. I won't say any more, but that should get you started.

There are even more oneway elements on the Phoenix cards. I found 4!

The interesting part about it is that the Phoenix even has a oneway face. Hard to detect but as soon as you know... Extremely easy to spot. Same with the back.

Hi Vlad,
I saw your post (see below), and was wondering what are the subtle asymmetric features you noticed that make Bikes and Tallys one-way on the back? I'm trying to do an effect from Leo Boudreau's book that employs a one-way deck, but impromptu. Thanks! -neo Quote:

Tally Ho Circle backs have a one-way back that has nothing to do with the way the cards are cut, and is near impossible for most people (including magicians) to see unless they're already are aware of it.

The bicycle safety deck is one way.
One of the last living 10-in-one performers. I wanted to be in show business the worst way, and that was it.
