Imagine being able to make your favorite card tricks instantly relatable to every audience. Craig Petty has been hard at work in his mad science of magic laboratory, creating a very special deck of cards with all the qualities of a traditional deck but made up of characters from literature and cinema history. Now you can put story, meaning, and instant relatability into the card tricks that are already monsters. This is Heroes & Villains by Craig Petty.

The only thing missing from this deck is the kitchen sink. Not only is this a deck of fifty-two cards divided up into blue cards that represent the heroes and red cards that represent the villains, but they are also marked. The optical marking system from Phill Smith is built into every single card so that you can instantly know the identity of the character on the card, its corresponding nemesis, and a ton of other information. Each card features facts about the character with the Mother Of All Book Tests built right in. Craig and Phill have thought of everything when designing this deck of cards.

Imagine doing oil and water with a good and evil theme. Your ambitious card becomes instantly relevant when you perform it with the character from someone’s favorite childhood book. Your mind reading becomes a thing of true wonder when you are making direct predictions and revelations with age-old foes from classic fairytales.

Along with this beautiful deck comes an in-depth tutorial featuring seventeen audience-tested routines. These tricks span the magic library from oil and water and out of this world, to card at number, mind reading, and predictions. None of the routines require difficult sleight of hand, and many of the effects are practically self-working. This custom-printed deck looks like a collectible card game deck but handles like a dream. Infuse your card magic with the greatest stories of all time when you perform with The Heroes & Villains Deck by Craig Petty.
