Hello everyone!
I am very proud to tell you about the new product, the Travel Agency Deck, that me and my brother Arkadia are about to release. This is a new tool that gives the performer the possibility to perform a wide variety of routines such as Perfect match, Picture duplication, MetalWriting routines and Du*l Re***ty. The deck is special made for this kind of routines and it is a good way to learn the Du*l Re***ty method. The deck have three secrets: A stacking system, memorized information, and markings. Together it gives the possibility to do impossible routines. The deck is constructed with three kinds of cards. First there is cards with a country and corresponding flagg, secondly there is illustrations of different tourist attractions and thirdly there is ten gaff cards that make it possible to construct special gimmicks and also to create your own Du*l Re***ty routine. The cards have an ordinary look - they does not scream magic prop. Instead they look like perhaps some kind of advertising for a travel agency, something you might get on an airplane, something that a school use to learn geography, or perhaps some kind of game. It is also believable that the performer printed the cards, in fact, that is what I did with the prototype that I have been using in my own act. Right now the filming of the DVD is in progress. I have finished some tutorials that explains how to construct your own gimmicks and also a session that explains how to draw the illustrations in just a few seconds. The information about the illustrations are also used to do a very vivid mind reading. The 18th of May we will start filming the routines and right now we have 12 different routines and ideas. I am very proud to tell you that Luca Volpe have constructed two routines that will be included on the DVD. Luca have been a fantastic inspiration source and he add his emotional mentalism touch on some of the routines. Also the Swedish mentalist and the winner of mentalism 2013 in the Swedish championship of magic - Martin Danielsson, who competed with a Du*al Re***ty routine, will contribute with a routine on the DVD. There is of course a lot of inspiration from other great magicians behind the ideas of this deck and there will be a full crediting on the DVD. But I will name drop Richard Osterlind and Banachek who have been a great inspiration source for me. Mr Osterlind have read our description of the effect and he told me that it seem to be very strong - he will get his own deck when we meet in Mind Summit in June. After talking to a lot of professional magicians it is clear that the description that we made that explains the deck and the Du*l Re***ty routine is not something that should be shown on an open forum. This method is best to keep as a secret. If you are interested in the deck and its possibilities, please E-mail us on info@metalwriting.com I will then send you a PDF that thoroughly goes through the deck and its secrets. The release date is planned for the Mind Summit convention in the beginning of June. I have made 500 decks and I will also add a deck as a freebie for those who by the MetalWriting Eye of Odin close up. We have constructed two routines that uses the deck as a build up to the engraved revelation on the medallion. This are very strong routines that I use all the time in my own act. I hope that you will enjoy the deck! If you have any additional ideas or thoughts please let us know. Thank you Andreas Sebring Click here to view attached image. |

Thank you for all the positive response both here on the Café and in our mailbox. I hope that you like the routine and see the potential that Luca talked about. One of the great things is that you can take one of your own card routines and use the TAD instead. Then you got a whole different story and revelation. I do think that there is a big difference in the reactions between the statement: You are thinking of the seven och diamonds, and You are thinking of Machu Picchu The lost city in Peru.
It is certainly something different for the audience I believe, and also a creative challenge for the performer. Right now I am thinking of a Ambitious card routine. The dream location of the spectator is always jumping to the top. Even if they can't afford that trip, and try to hide it or put it away, it always come back. If you go for the second choice and pick another destination, it always transforms to the original idea. When you think that you finally have hidden your desire and go to the Travel agency for buying a journey, the dream vacation still jumps out of your wallet when it is time to pay. Basically an ambitious card routine with a card to impossible location as a finale, but with another story and perhaps another appeal to the spectator. I don´t know if I ever will perform it, but it is a fun way to play, and what we do shall always be funny and playful. |

I´m pleased to tell you that TAD now is available from our website http://www.metalwriting.com/travel-agency-deck.html
We have just arrived home from visiting Mind Summit in Germany where we demonstrated the deck. I am proud to tell you that both Richard Osterlind and Colin Mcleod saw it and told me they like the idea. The deck comes with a double DVD with 3 hours of material. Eleven routines, included a routine from Luca Volpe. In the dvd I also explain how to make very fast drawings, based on simple geometric shapes, of all the 20 tourist attractions. There is also a tutorial that explains how you will personalize the gaff-cards with your computer and printer. There is also a reference guide in paper, just to make it easier to memorize the information on the deck. But of course we will talk about it on the DVD as well. I am so sure about the quality and the ideas on this product that I will give you guys that take a chance a guarantee the first month. If you think that the deck is crap and not worth the money, just send it back and I will return the payment. Best Andreas Sebring |

Here is a synopsis of every effect on the DVD.
1. Perfect match The magician enters a table where a couple are sitting. The lady select a destination and a place she wants to visit. The man then by intuition select the matching flag card, which proves that they are meant to be together 2. A monumental coincidence The deck is shuffled by the spectators and four spectators pick a card. In the reading it turns out that the spectators have picked matching cards. 3. Remote viewing In his mind, a spectator travels to a place in the world and project the image to the mentalist. The mentalist start to describe what the spectator will see and as a kicker he could prove that the spectator in fact have seen something on the other side of the world. This is a routine that Martin Mendler have come up with, I really like it. 4. Postcards from the past A member of the audience is traveling in his mind to a destination in the world. He then sends a postcard to someone in the audience that also would like to see the same country. The postcard matches the audience members expectations and it is also addressed with his or her name. 5. The pendulum card stab The spectators’ card is found by the use of a pendulum and suggestions. 6. Fourth dimension journey The spectator thinks of a journey in the world to a specific country and there he visit a tourist attraction and doing some kind of activity with a friend, that makes him feel a special feeling. The mindreader will make a drawing of the tourist attraction that the spectator are thinking of, reveal the name of the country, tell the followers name and also what they were doing and then personally start to experience the same feeling as the spectator did in his mind. Based on Theodore Annemanns classic routine. 7. Hypnotic destinations Luca Volpe have constructed this routine where three spectators are invited to the stage and they take their seat on three chairs. The mindreader hypnotize them and then he start to reveal their memories from a journey. It ends with a double kicker where it is clear that they have experience a memory under the hypnotic influence of the mindreader. 8. Know your customer This is a routine that shows that the mindreader have the ability to categorize and reveal personality traits of the spectators. The routine is constructed for situations where you might be invited to talk about your abilities and then proof your point. 9. Pictures in your mind A picture duplication routine with three presentations for walk around, close-up or stage. The mentalist can explain in details how the spectator will think when he in his mind or for real, draw a picture of a tourist attraction. 10. Travelling cold A routine that deals with cold reading and in that way reveals a lot of the spectator but it also reveals the name of a thought of country, a city and a tourist attraction. 11. Travelling mind The routine that are explained in the PDF. A spectator on stage are thinking and associate memories to a chosen country. The mindreader then can reveal the associated memories. A routine that uses both picture duplications and written revelations. |

I have just received mine and the quality and thought behind these cards is excellent. But what is just as exciting is the sheer potential these cards offer.
As mentioned in the post above, the two DVDs contain explanations for a variety of effects and this, I feel, is just the start. I am only a little way into the DVDs at the moment but already have some ideas how I can use these cards. There is a lot of scope here and with the visual element and images on the cards giving chance for indepth mind reading, drawing duplication or just astounding unsuspecting audience members. These cards are different and a delight and well worth getting. Neil |

Thank you Neil for telling everyone. I strongly believe that you are right, There is a lot more to explore with the deck and I have a lot of routines not only the eleven on the dvd. A few days ago Luca Volpe gave me this quote:
"With this deck you have literally a full act in your pocket! Beautifully made and cleverly designed. Perfect for stage and close up performances. This deck is always in my show bag!" Luca Volpe Best Andreas Sebring |

With the World Cup and holiday season starting for so many, the names of different countries and destinations make this deck more topical than ever. And with the visual element and m*****g, these cards literally open up so many possibilities.
I have already had good fun and good use with these. |

Thank you Neil. I think that there are much jet to discover. I saw your post about using a globe as well, Good idea. I have one routine with a world map and a pin, that unfortunately not was on the dvd. I think I will write it down in a PDF together with a lot of other routines that evolve in my head.
I am very pleased to hear that you already are using them. best |
