The Photographic Deck is made with the working mentalist and magician in mind. Yes, there are other decks made of photographs but none of them work or function like Patrick Redford's Photographic Deck. It pushes the idea of a simple tool to the MAX. It started with thirteen photographs fifteen years ago, then it doubled to twenty-six. Now the system contains a full deck of 54 photographs. Each photograph represents a different playing card in a standard deck of cards. The Photographic Deck is the same size as a standard poker size deck of playing cards making it easy to manipulate. The Photographic deck will enhance your favorite card tricks. Learn the unique properties of the deck and perform unique effects not before possible.

Stemming from the medieval Latin theory and practice of reflection on mortality, it has been a ubiquitous part of human culture for centuries. From the philosophical to the artistic, the fascination, fear and appreciation of death has consistently captivated and cultivated our imagination. Many practitioners of this theory kept with them, artifacts or keepsakes which served as a reminder that the only thing certain in life, was death. Many of these items were often objects (watches, necklaces) in the shape of skulls.
