Adam Dadswell's "Gradient" is a refreshing take on mentalism props, and I've got to say, I'm a big fan.

In the world of playing cards, there are decks for collectors, decks for flourishers, and then there are decks designed for the everyday worker, the magician, the card player, the enthusiast who needs a reliable, high-quality tool they can use and, yes, even abuse. The Mad Deck from Madison Cards.

The deck of 52 poker sized cards features celebrities instead of traditional suits and numbers. It appears to be the kind of novelty item you might find in a gift shop. However, beneath its playful exterior lies a powerful and unassuming tool for mentalists, a deck designed to be a covert weapon in the hands of a skilled performer. It's a prime example of how a simple, everyday object can be transformed into a magical instrument.
