Stripper Deck

Stripper Deck (also known as a Wizard Deck, Slipper Deck and Biseauté Deck) is a Mechanical Deck are made up of cards that enables a reversed card to be located. In Britain, this deck is sometimes referred to as a Slipper Deck.

It allows the magician to easily control the location of a card or group of cards within the pack. Even after being shuffled into the deck by a spectator, the magician can cut to a selected card; or after being lost in different parts of the deck, the magician can control multiple cards to the bottom or top of the deck with a few innocent shuffles.
