The Deliverance is a gimmick that lets you do the classic signed card in a sealed box thing. It sounds straightforward, but it's one of those tricks that leaves people scratching their heads. Probably has something to do with the fact they think you're some kind of wizard.
Here's the gist: you pull out a deck, spread the cards to show they're not all aces, and let someone pick one. They sign it, and you stick it back in the middle of the deck with a bit poking out so no one thinks you're up to no good. Slide the whole shebang back into the box.
The box is wrapped in plastic on all sides but the top. You shut the flap, slap on a sticker, and have them autograph that too for good measure. The box stays in plain sight, and somehow, you still end up pulling their card from somewhere unexpected. Why it fools them so consistently is a bit of a mystery to me too, but there you have it.
If you're in the mood for theatrics, you can toss the sealed box in a paper bag and Gaffa tape the whole lot. Yet, you'll still manage to extract the card when you fancy. Feels a bit like you're cheating, but that's magic for you.
No need for palming or any fancy sleight of hand. Just a bit of practice and you're set. You can work this trick up close, in a parlour, or on a stage. Matthew Wright and Harry Robson have put together a 90-minute video explaining it all. I'd recommend watching it unless you're fond of winging it.
Whether you're the type who wears a jacket or prefers the jeans-and-t-shirt vibe, there's a version here for you. Not into palming or deck switches? They've thought of that too. It's almost like they knew you'd be reading this.
And yes, it comes in red or blue Bicycle cards if you're picky about that sort of thing.
The Deliverance is a neat way to pull off some head-scratching card tricks. Give it a go if you like seeing puzzled faces.
This is a reasonably clever prop that I can see being quite fooling. The build quality could be a little bit better so I am knocking a star off as I had to superglue something back in place that had come adrift in transit. Alex’s service as always was superb offering an immediate replacement but as it was an easy fix I was happy to keep the original one. I also own Extractor 2 which does a similar thing and although a bit more expensive is slightly better in my opinion. This does have a couple of advantages over Extractor though. Firstly the Deliverance deck can be removed from the box and partially shown but you do need to be careful to keep the secret within the deck hidden. Also extractor immediately delivers the chosen card when it is inserted into the deck whereas with this you can pick your own time to collect the card. Sorry to be a bit vague but I don’t want to give away the methods.

Lovely effect, simple to do and the see through cards elevate it to another level. Being plastic will last a lifetime and take up no space no matter how you carry your effects
So many applications and a lot of ideas in the video instructions, already set up all three but one of the benefits is that you can easily transfer it to another application. Very happy with the effect and as always superb service from Alex
I've had these for a few months now, I'd ordered them Fri lunchtime and they arrived about the same time the next day on the Sat. At first i wasn't sure, they felt a bit light but good quality, now I love em, they ring like a bell and they are perfectly balanced
