Ted's Sterling Magic Professional Gaffed Deck Kit – Bicycle Stock Cards with Video Tutorials for Beginner to Pro Magicians

The Ted's Sterling Magic Professional Gaffed Deck Kit is a set of specialized card decks built for magicians at any skill level, from first-timers to seasoned performers. It contains tapered cards, short cards, blank-faced and blank-backed cards, plus standard cards—all printed on Bicycle stock. A wizard coin with a QR code linking to video instruction is also included, making this a complete foundation for learning and performing classic illusions.

What makes a gaffed deck different?

Gaffed cards are modified versions of regular playing cards that allow the magician to perform effects impossible with a normal deck. This kit includes three types of gaffs: short cards, which are cut slightly shorter so the magician can locate them by riffle or cut; tapered cards, which are narrower at one end and let the performer cut to a chosen card without looking; and blank-faced or blank-backed cards, used for reveals, color changes, or forced selections. The standard cards in the kit look and feel like ordinary playing cards, so they blend in seamlessly during a routine.

What's inside the kit

• Multiple specialized decks using Bicycle stock (including short, tapered, and blank varieties)
• One standard deck for mixing and matching
• One wizard coin with a printed QR code for video lessons

All cards are made from the same durable Bicycle stock trusted by magicians worldwide, so they handle consistently throughout your set.

How to learn the tricks

A link to step-by-step video instruction is included with the kit. Each trick is performed and explained by a professional magician, who also shares tips on presentation and handling. The videos cover both fundamental techniques and advanced variations, so you can start with simple effects and work up to a full routine. The included wizard coin has its own set of coin tricks accessible via the QR code.
