Absolutely! We had an issue with some of the chargers for Smoke 2.0 (which is why it is not up for sale right now), but that is being resolved as we speak and we will have it back in stock soon. Once we have it back in stock we will likely open up the gimmick refill packs for purchase shortly...
The part you are referring to IS glued into place prior to shipping. Due to the materials the ring is made from it can occasionally come loose. That said, you have already stumbled on to the easiest fix for it - a tiny dab of superglue. With regular use you may need to glue things again at some...
This is a VERY good choice, though not on your list.
Odyssey is not too difficult, and it is an amazing looking effect when done right. Like most things, easy to do, but it will take time to perfect.
Invisible Card is much less visual, but is just as impossible. It hits people in a different...
1. There are some angles, but they are fairly easy to manage. You have a lot of room to work with.
2. You can wear the ring on your index, middle, or ring finger. Where you wear it doesn't really matter, what matters is that you don't order a tiny size that doesn't fit your larger fingers.

Yep, light directly from the front, the back, or above are the enemy. Side or indirect lighting, and shadows, are your friend.
Also, solid color clothing is bad. Something with a pattern or texture helps a lot.

If you are having trouble with your gimmick, reach out to Support and they can help you out.
Due to the nature of the gimmick it can need a touchup every once in a while. A little dab of superglue will fix it up. That said, it absolutely should not have come apart in two performances so hit up...
US Playing Card currently sells TWO main versions of the Bicycle deck. One is the "Standard" deck that nobody in the magic community seems to like, and the other is the version we carry. They aren't made for us, but that is all we buy. The old design is still available for sale from US Playing...
It does. The size is larger specifically to accommodate the fact that the gimmick looses a bit of width in the gimmick making process. You get two different sizes rings (as far as the numbers go), however they shout fit nearly the same.
You should NOT receive two rings of the same size. If you...
Reach out to Support and they can get things sorted out for you. The gimmicks start off one size too large, but when modified they tighten up a bit. Should still be able to have the gimmick on your finger, should not be any smaller than the tungsten ring.

We ONLY sell the old Rider Back design. The Standard version is OK, but is not good for some magic tricks so we don't sell them. We like the classic Rider Back much more, and it is the only version we stock.

Hello,
The gimmick ring is one size larger than the normal ring because the things we do to make it a gimmick cause the ring to be slightly smaller. They intentionally end up about the same size. If we used a gimmick the same size as the non-gimmicked ring, the gimmick would be smaller than you...
The job of a magician (and a con man) is to do / know what you think is 100% impossible to do or know. That is what makes magicians entertaining and what makes con men dangerous.

The best magicians devise ways to learn things that you don't yet even suspect that they are looking for. They may learn something personal about you without you knowing that they were digging into your information, just to reveal it at a later time as if by magic.
A very basic example. A...
Definitely something we have looked into in the past and we continue to explore now. If we ever release a card clip, it will be something that meets our standards of quality. We aren't going to release a cheap card clip just to have our name on it.

Rule reminder - no thread bumping. The last post in this thread was from January 2015 - no need to drag it up from the depths again. If you want to talk about this subject, start a new thread.
Thanks!

The gimmick is fragile. I would not ever carry the gimmick alone in my pocket. In a deck it would likely be fine in your pocket, but not on its own. Decoy comes in ridged packaging which protects it from damage when not in use. I would keep it in that when not in use.

Can you wear the gimmick everyday? Yes. Should you? Probably not. The gimmick is not nearly as indestructible as the matching tungsten ring we provide. The non-gimmicked tungsten ring is a good ring for everyday wear. The gimmick also could fall off and be lost if you aren't careful. This is one...
