The Best Deck Switch...Ever?.. We think it just might be!
The Cooler by Christian Engblom.
Best. Deck Switch. Ever. "The Cooler" will change the way you do card magic.
Vanishing Inc. is pleased to announce the release of the most
coveted and praised deck switcher in... well, ever. The testimonials speak for
themselves: David Blaine, Paul Wilson, Rene Levand, Dani DaOrtiz, and on and on
and on. They use it, love it, and swear by it. Christian Engblom's "The Cooler"
is about to change the way you do card magic.
The perfect deck switcher is the holy grail for card workers. It allows you to get into and out of memorized deck, gaffed work, stack work, or to change the back design. It is the "missing link" between otherwise incompatible card routines.
But deck switches are normally difficult. Many involve lapping or being seated. Others require a jacket with secret pockets sewn in. Some even involve bizarre contraptions that come from your sleeve. Because of this, most magicians just opt not to switch decks. A pity, really.
The Cooler fixes this. It happens in plain sight, it is totally self-contained in the card box, and can be done standing, without a jacket or sleeves. You can customize this durable, precision-made plastic gimmick to any box of cards, and you can execute the switch in the hands or on the table. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
"The most beautiful deck switch I have ever seen."
- David Blaine
"Where can I get one?"
- Rene Lavand
"If this damn thing were any Cooler, it would be frozen!"
- Max Maven
"The best deck switch I have NEVER seen!"
- Wayne Dobson
This is not a trick or a fleeting trend. "The Cooler" is a tool, and we believe it will become an industry standard for years to come. A dozen top card men have been privy to prototypes of Christian's remarkable invention for the last five years. Finally, they are available for wide release.

VERY tempted by this. I'm handing in my application form for the Magic Circle this Friday and have been thinking of my audition. I really want to move seamlessly from effect to effect and for most of this I can manage with cleaver stacking but for one effect I can only think of deck switching.
ReplyDeleteIf I were in your shoes…I’d also be very tempted! It’s a great device and works well. I just wish I’d thought of it first!
ReplyDeletePS. Don’t forget you can customise it to work in conjunctions with ANY poker sized deck.
