PANDEMONIUM: The NEW Ultimate Vanishing Deck Add-on


 We’re proud to introduce the world premiere of Aaron Fisher’s PANDEMONIUM, a self-working vanishing deck 20 years in the making. This LIMITED EDITION KICKSTARTER EXCLUSIVE will only be available through this campaign.

Pandemonium is hyper-visual, practical, and easy-to-do.  All you need to make this miracle is a set of Pandemonium Cards and a deck to reproduce from your pocket (see video)! See Pandemonium Now:

 All backers will receive full training and discover multiple professional Pandemonium Routines during the Out of the Box Live Event Series.  

Several reward levels already include a set of Pandemonium Cards. To add additional sets, see the instructions under the heading ‘Add-ons’ near the bottom of this page. 


 We created the CC Club Deck Project specifically for passionate card magicians, collectors, sleight-of-hand experts, and Cardists—and everyone who dreams of making miracles with cards.

When you back this project, you will receive:

I call the solution my Daily Carry Custom Configuration—and I’m sharing it for the first time. You’ll find it in every box of CC Club Deck Cards.

Each deck comes with two additional, unassuming ‘gaffed’ cards that can actually be removed from a new deck by your spectator without causing any suspicion. These two cards combine to form my Daily Carry Custom Configuration. This versatile combination allows you to perform 10+ miracle routines right out of the box. 

NOTE: You’ll get step-by-step instruction on ALL the miracles that follow—and MANY more—during our Out of the Box Experience Live Events. Scroll down for more info! 

***IMPORTANT: ?️ ALL’ DAY ONE’  BACKERS who get at least ONE CC CLUB DECK will get LIVE TICKETS GUARANTEED for all Out of the Box Experience Online Events. 

The Daily Carry Custom Configuration lets you open your box of cards and move directly into any one of four different performance modes, so you’re always ready for ANY situation. 


First, there’s the classic Natural Mode—with two duplicate jokers and your CC Club Deck. During the Out of the Box Experience Live Events (more info on that below), you’ll discover a wealth of miracles you can perform without using ANY gaffs. 



 Opener Mode:  Choose to wow your audience with your favorite version of the Chicago Opener style routine. This celebrated miracle has been widely considered to be the most engaging close-up ‘Opener’ by professional close-up card magicians for over 50 years!  

During the Out of the Box Experience Live Events, you’ll discover multiple routines, so no matter your experience level, you’ll get the perfect method for YOU. You’ll discover Aaron’s favorite methods for people just starting out in card magic, and exciting ‘upgrades’ that will fool and excite long-time card workers.

 NOTE: Our Special Guests will also share their favorite secret methods and opening effects—and many secrets will be revealed for the first time anywhere



Mental Mode:  Imagine the perfect Brainwave Effect that looks and feels like real mind-reading.  Start with a sealed deck if you wish. Or perform ANYTIME—and always end clean.

We call this the ‘Thunderbolt’ because it can close ANY show—even if you only perform ONE TRICK. And of course, you don’t need to stop there. Your CC Club Deck can be examined—and you can continue to amaze!  See it now in this video:


Visual/Formal Close-up Mode: With the entire configuration in play, you can perform an entire ‘close-up show’ featuring 4 ultra-visual technicolor miracles. Your audience won’t believe their eyes, and you can even pass out the deck before you continue the show. See for yourself in the video below: 


BONUS ROUTINES: You’ll also discover 3 complete color changing deck routines you can perform using just one CC Club Deck.  Two of the routines are super easy-to-do—and all are designed to be used as ‘openers’. Start with a blue deck. Change its color—and continue to amazing with a ‘clean’ red deck! 

CHALLENGES & IMPOSSIBLE CLOSERS: The impossible revelation of ANY thought of card is one of the strongest effects in all of card magic. It’s the perfect way to answer a challenge, and it’s strong enough to be a ‘closer’ for any show packed with powerhouse card magic. Your CC Club Deck and the Daily Carry Custom Configuration make it easy to answer the challenge and perform the impossible. 

AND MUCH MUCH MORE: And still, that’s just the beginning. In the video below, you’ll see just one of the Bonus Routines you’ll discover in our Live Events. This one is called, Blushing Jokers, by the talented card creator J.K. Hartman:

At our Out of the Box Experience Live Events, we’ll reveal our favorite methods for every situation, so you can ALWAYS do the impossible…ON DEMAND.

 THE STOCK & FINISH 

Aaron Fisher, Adam Grace, and Lee Asher selected every aspect of the CC Club Deck to meet the needs of demanding sleight-of-hand artists, cardists, and collectors.  We wanted to create the ultimate deck for card workers. That’s why we spared no expense, and printed on the legendary USPCC WEB PRESS, using a custom formulation of Premium-Casino Crushed Bee Stock, a traditional cut and an air-cushion finish. 

WHAT DOES USING THE BEST PRESS & CASINO CRUSHED BEE STOCK MEAN TO YOU? 

Simply put, there are no words to describe how well these cards handle. These cards shuffle like a dream. The CC Club Deck is light and airy, with a density that makes the cards rest comfortably—but spring quickly into passes, palms and double-lifts. And for card workers, here’s the best news of all: no matter that you put these cards through in training or performance, they snap back into shape time and time again.

 THE DESIGN: Backs, Faces, Aces & Joker

 The Faces 

Our goal at all times was to great a distinctive deck that promotes  Powerful Card Magic above all else. With the exception of the Ace of Spades and Jokers, we chose to emphasize clarity and contrast. Classic faces ensure your audience can experience every moment of your magic in high definition—like watching card magic in a ‘lossless’ format.

 The Backs

From Aaron Fisher, on discovering the 1907 USPCC 808 Model II Back Design:

Recently, Lee Asher showed Adam Grace and I a full collection of USPCC 808 back designs, We realized that apart from two or three designs, we’d never even seen most of them.  That made us feel like kids again—and it was a GOOD feeling. 

We had been looking for a distinctive, elegant design that would highlight great magic.  When we saw the rare 808 Model II Back Design from 1907, we knew in an instant we’d found ‘the one’. We said, “This is it. This design deserves to be SEEN. People who like cards will LOVE this design.  

 Note for Collectors: When the United States Playing Card Company was purchased by Cartamundi, the company stopped granting licenses for their classic artwork. Even so, the CC Club Deck was printed by USPCC with full permission to use USPCC back designs, the Ace of Spades, the Joker, and the Box for our CC Club Deck.

 THE JOKERS

This incredible image was first published by the United States Playing Card Company in 1894—where it commemorated the playing card competition at the 1878 Worlds Fair Exhibition. This was a landmark event in the history of playing card history. 

The image of the king riding the bicycle, and the book on which it appeared, has been the envy of antique card collectors everywhere. Best of all, the graphic has NEVER been used as an actual ‘Joker’ before now. 


 ACE OF SPADES

Our elegant Ace of Spades features a stalk of wheat and comes from a rare Whist design produced by USPCC in the 1920s. This timeless choice emphasizes the organic nature of living communities—like the communities you find on Kickstarter and CC Club.

  • Yes, if you look close you can see this subtle feature built right into the back design.
  • Magicians know why a very subtle one-way design will allow you to adapt the hundreds of effects that have been published on the one-way principle. We included this just for you!
