Omni Deck Standing Summer Switch

Antonio Diavolo · Jul 24, 2019

I apologize for the alliteration in the title.

Anyway, I love the omni deck but I haven't really found an effective way to do the dirty work during the summer. During the winter, it's very easy to use the large, open pockets on a hoodie for the switch, but I can't figure out how to do it during the summer.

I usually wear jeans and short sleeved t-shirts so does anyone know of any sources for good deck switches that don't require a table or hoodie to be effective? Or even just ideas of how I could perform the switch.

Thank you.

Khaki shorts with a sharpie in the pocket.

I prefer cargo shorts for summer, since I prefer to keep everything in my pockets, hands free. Perhaps you can DIY a case you can put on the inside of your wasteband to hold the deck.

A deck in a pocket normally works fine for me. I like a 2 hand deck switch, where you reach into both pockets at the same time, ditch one deck grab the other, and come out with a pen or something all during patter

I really like that deck switch by @obrienmagic , sorry I can't remember the name of it. I think it's called the Switcheroo? I know there's a high quality leather version on his website, but he also teaches a free DIY version (or did at some point at-least)

This is one reason why my preferred version is the Prism Deck. If you add 2 jokers and a normal card to the deck you can do the Omni deck without a switch.

Put a joker and a normal card in the middle of the deck, then put the other joker on top. Perform a riffle force forcing the normal card. Have it signed. Place the 2 Jokers on the top of the deck and continue with the Omni deck.

Is the Prism deck that Joshua Jay trick where you end with a deck where every card is different?

Yes it is, my mistake. I meant the Phantom Deck. That's his version of the Omni deck, instead of a solid brick he changes every card clear.

I thought about getting one of those but I decided I sort of prefer the solid block.
