Cardini’s Instanto deck.

Cardini’s Instanto deck. Deck of blue Bee back poker-size cards specially cut by Cardini. With the specially prepared pack, the magician can instantly cut to or locate any card freely called for by a spectator. Ca. 1960s. Very good. In his formative years, Cardini cut packs of cards for the British music hall magician Bill O’Connor. According to his own correspondence, Cardini made “pennies” doing so. Still, he continued making the cards for his own use and for others well in to the 1960s.
