Re: Demi Deck
It’s probably me, but I didn’t notice any flashes… Even not in half speed.
I think he performs it very smooth.

There is only one solution: practice practice practice so that everything is well hidden
And sharp eyes and attention recognizes even without a slow motion video

Re: Demi Deck
I'm also going through a phase of pumping less money into Magic Tricks but now I've made an
exception as well, since Demi Deck ended up having a certain appeal to me - Attached a video
of my new magic toy that connect me to fresh air and the beauty in nature

Re: Demi Deck
A minimal tweak for a better flap opening 
Two small round black velvet dots make it a little easier to open the flap with a fingernail
through a small gap now and it also reduce a little the harsh sound when closing the flap.

Re: Demi Deck
That's a good tip, Olaf!
I received mine yesterday, and I have been playing a bit with it. While the method is what I had expected, there is more to it than I would have guessed, and I will say it is quite clever.
The blade handle on mine came loose as I took it out of the plastic bag, and doesn't appear to have been glued at all. It is an easy fix with some super glue, so I don't mind that, but it is obviously a manufacturing defect. The blade itself also needed a bit of deburring, as it is stamped from a sheet and clearly they did no post-processing to it. The rough edge is not something you want to have, as it may make the trick less smooth in operation, and also could potentially damage some more delicate parts.
It will take a bit of practice to perform smoothly and with confidence. Angle management is important, no doubt about that.

I also noticed this immediately, the front is flawless, but the back has rough and sharp spots ...
I immediately deburred everything and very lightly chamfered. My blade was fortunately well glued,
only need to remove a few small superglue residues.Also a slight widening had to be made so that
no card gets stuck. However, it works most safely with a stripper deck. Handling is not difficult

Re: Demi Deck
A very successful and funny presentation 
But why do the back card parts not fall out

Re: Demi Deck
I bought this, I love it. So easy to do too.
Re: Demi Deck
Great idea, it is a little tricky to open.
Re: Demi Deck
The little flap is really not very easy and relaxed to open, except with more finger pressure or that
the fingernail hits exactly the right spot - What I have noticed very quick, that this handling causes
the black fake leather to damage the edges very quickly and peel off easy, as it is not firmly enough
glued in place. I think this has been not solved well in terms of production technology.
