The cards have been specially designed (symetrical, compared to regular uno cards that aren’t) and printed, they hide of course the main secret as well as a bonus thing that will allow you to perform an extra phase I really wanted good quality card with a proper varnish (coating) so that you would use them wherever you want.
For the « ONO » name, of course, for trademark reasons, I couldn’t not just replicate the UNO design. As mentionned, an ONO 99 game exists which is enough to tell them to check online if you want to. But the way I introduce them is that I bought a set of UNO card from Wish and I show the faces. For now, everything is fine, but I tell them that my reaction was the same as the name of the set of cards I received: « Oh no! » (ONO). You could also introduce them as the set of cards from another country (in France, we make fun out of Belgium because people think they are simple minded, well, in our jokes, we make fun of them). So maybe you could say this is a set of cards made in another state you’re making fun of, and people will laugh and accept the cards, even though they haven’t seen them before. It might sounds weird but after doing this an awful lot, they never never question the cards because I introduce them on a funny note.

I was incorrect. This looks like an old sleight shuffle thing, it is not. Buy one.

It does not rely on a special shuffle indeed, cards can be mixed up by the audience!
If some of you already received it, I can’t wait to see what you’re thinking about it

For the explanation on the discrepancy of the spelling ONO, I guess you can say something like you got these pirated U-no cards from aliexpress or when you travelled to China for your kids, and they don't seem to be impressed, so you took some out for your own use.

Received Monu today. Cards are great quality and to be honest are much better quality than UNO cards. The spelling isn't a problem at all, the mentioned justifications make sense. Great little trick, I like it!
Once is entertainment, twice is education.
