The Devano deck is a Mechanical Deck developed by Harry Devano to perform the Rising Cards effect make one or more chosen cards rise for the middle of the deck (1948).
One of the unique features of this deck at the time was that the performer could fan the deck.
The method used was first conceived by Dr. L. Vosburgh Lyons around 1936.
Don Alan used the deck extensively starting in the late 1950s, and was largely responsible for popularizing it among magicians. Ron Bauer details Alan's full presentation in Don Alan's Devano Card Rise (1999).
