This is really great guys! So good that I will just let the description speak for its self:
The Optricks Red Edition - Take your magic to another dimension The animation of the original Optricks deck from Mechanic Industries proved to be a big hit. The bold black-and-white geometric design created a hypnotic optical illusion that was perfect for card magic and flourishes. Little wonder that many were disappointed to discover it was sold out. Now this innovative deck is back, even better than before! Our expert Mechanics took the Optricks Deck in for a complete overhaul. In the process, they made changes under the hood giving you the power to create a spectacular new kind of card magic that will have your spectators hardly believing their eyes. The first thing you'll notice with the Optricks Red Edition is that the paintwork has been resprayed a stunning red. But that's just the start! It's been supercharged by adding a brand-new assortment of some of the most innovative gaff cards imaginable. And here at Mechanic Industries, we don't just believe in giving you a brand-new shiny deck with extras as standard. We also provide you with powerful magic routines created specially to showcase these cards at their very best. With options and accessories you've previously only dreamed about, our cutting edge creativity means you will combine optical illusions and sleight of hand, creating magic the likes of which have never been seen before. Features
Our new Anamorphic Gaff - twisting sight and bending minds This is a totally new concept in sleight of hand. Our eye-popping anamorphic gaff card uses an optical illusion technique to open up a whole new world of exploration. Now you can use your favorite sleights and color changes in order to create routines that will astound your audiences in a whole new way. It's based around the anamorphic art concept, where your view point makes the most magical moments come to life. We're supporting this card by providing you with a host of routines and sleight combinations for easy-to-do, hard-hitting magic. Our new OptiBox Gaff - a new angle on empty box trickery The OptiBox Gaff is our ingenious approach to a faux 'empty box' type routine. We've come up with a gaff that is easy to implement and use - on just about any deck! You won't need any advanced sleight of hand, due to the deceptive and clever method our engineers have come up with. With fair and easy handling, this surprising effect won't arouse your audience's suspicion, but is certain to blow their minds. Even people who knew in advance what illusion we were creating were fooled by it when they first saw it!The magician will welcome this powerful concept we've created, because you can easily use it to enhance your existing routines. Or use your own creativity to develop whole new routines around it. Once again, we'll get you started by including a detailed video that teaches you how to hook up your gaff, and a couple of routine ideas to inspire you. Our Extras - the Grinder card and the double backer Our Grinder Coin Joker is back - with a complete visual upgrade. The realistic rendering and shadows of the new Grinder artwork link the artwork to the real world and will really play tricks with your spectators. Now it's a double-facer, with one side featuring the Grinder Coin, and the other side a very realistic tear hole. This is designed to strengthen the illusion that the coin is literally being ripped from the card into real life. It will also simplify routines like Grindout and make the handling much easier. To avoid any cold morning starts, we've created a couple of concept tutorials that will help you get the most out of this card. We'll also include a versatile double backer with the deck. We appreciate card magic here at Mechanic Industries, so we know that you can use this to perform a wide range of magic. In addition, our videos will also show you how to use this card in conjunction with the gaffs for a seamless performance. Join us for a fast-paced ride into a new dimension of magic with the new Optricks Red Edition. See the trailer here: https://www.murphysmagic.com/Product.aspx?id=62071 Best regards, Titanas

Unwatchable on the useless Murphys website. But here is direct link to YouTube demo. https://youtu.be/c8xNWGWMUio
Nice. I want this. Hopefully not knuckle-busting. |

I just watched the trailer, and it was definitely produced well. The effects also look really good, and the price is great. I would normally expect something like this to be $20 at the minimum, or even $30, the way deck tricks have been releasing lately.
Does anybody have this, and any thoughts on it? |

I read this thread yesterday. This deck seems great !
I put in my order this morning. I ordered a set of four grinder coins too. I’m very impressed by the tutorials. I’m pretty excited and am interested In the earlier Optricks deck too. |

Fascinating illusion-based deck. Tricky to use in practice since the light needs to be just right for some of the effects. I'm surprised that the problems of 'shine' clearly explained in the tutorials, weren't simply overcome by printing the relevant cards on matt finish stock.

The white border completely ruins the illusion. Shame.

According to the tutorial, you can open the tuckbox improperly
And ruin the the optibox effect. I’m glad I didn’t just tear It open. Although,I did have some trouble later with construction Of the gaff. I also learned that the grinder coin needs to be of the dollar size and gunmetal finish.in order to make for a convincing Effect. Unfortunately I order the incorrect one.( four actually) I have not performed the routines yet, for an audience. |

Nice deck and the Queen illusion works well.
Wish I never removed the box seal though |

I've just posted a full review of this here:
http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......c=674809 Given the relatively low price point, it's very good value. |

This looks great and very creative, but it feels like the anamorphic queen (and perhaps some of the other gimmicks) would be very, very angle sensitive or it would be obvious that something is "off." Can anyone who has this comment on that?
