The die and mirror are once more passed round for examination.


At the outset, this trick appears to be fairly standard: The magician has a card selected, signed and lost in the deck. Next, attention is called to a saftey pin running through the magician's tie. Then, things get interesting. The cards are fanned in front of the tie and WAMMO! the signed selection is seen to be pinned to the magician's tie! The card actually has to be ripped off the pin to remove it!
If you don't wear a tie, no problem - the pinned card is instantly and easily adaptable so that the card can appear pinned to a coat, shirt or even t-shirt.



Now, it's back with a vengeance! On Bicycle Stock!
Here's what happens: Show the deck, faces and backs. A spectator names any card in the deck. Yes, any card. Remove the named card and set it aside, face up.
Spread the deck. The entire deck has shrunk to half size! The selected card is now the biggest card in the deck! In a blink, the entire deck grows back to normal size, but the selected card shrinks to mini size! This looks wild! Finally, the selected card visibly grows back to normal size! Wow!
Diminishing Returns comes complete with a fully gaffed Bicycle deck (56 gaffed cards) and a typeset and illustrated manuscript. And, it's easy to do!! If you can spread the deck on the table, you can do this routine!
Plus, you get a free bonus, The Defective Deck!


The secret is the intelligent and subtle markings on the deck. The Logical Deck is a whole new marked deck.
As far as an ordinary marked deck is concerned, you cannot read a mark of a card in the middle of the deck. However, you can do that quickly with the Logical Deck. It does not take so long to read the markings. When you get used to its system, you can read the markings of two cards in a moment.
Even experienced magicians will be fooled unless they know the marking method.
The instruction manual includes two basic handlings and a routine with a trick deck.
We hope you enjoy this simple and straightforward effect, and intelligent principle.
Includes gimmicked Blue Bicycle Deck.
"When I saw this effect for the first time, I could not help shouting "No way!" I was totally fooled although he had told me that the secret was a variation of my idea. The Logical Deck employs a mathmatical principle. But the deck can be shuffled even by a spectator. Of course, you need to glimpse the deck. However, you can do that in a moment in a natural movement. I am amazed that he came up with this idea. He is truly talented." - Katsuya Masuda
"When I was a magic dealer, I came across a Masuda's trick. The secret of the trick was new and exciting. I tried to invent more powerful effect with his idea and finally completed the Logical Deck. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Katsuya Masuda who highly appreciated my work and made efforts to commercialize the Logical Deck."
