DeLand: Mystery and Madness by Richard Kaufman (Book and Deck)

The mad genius of card magic, Theodore DeLand, created over 100 tricks between 1904 and 1915. He was famous for his ingenious invention of specially printed gimmicked cards and marked decks, which for the first time allowed everyone to perform amazing tricks with no sleight of hand. He was among the most influential inventors of card magic in the 20th century. DeLand's life has been a mystery for over 100 years, but diligent research has presented famed author Richard Kaufman with the opportunity to reveal DeLand's deepest secrets, which led to his tragic end, in a book that combines magic with biography in a new way. All of DeLand's miracles are presented in this lavish 608-page full-color over-sized volume weighing 10 pounds. A full deck of gimmicked cards printed specially for this book is also included.

Very interesting story

The Deland cards were the first cards I ever bought that were trick cards and I have always made sure I had a good copy around me. The story behind him was very interesting. The only reason I gave four stars is that the gaff deck that goes along has an issue with the trick the Devil's own. Two of the cards are misprinted on the back and the trick will not work at this time this way. I have been trying to figure out where I can go to get them fixed cause the trick looks great..
