The Spirit Deck brings that idea to a deck of cards: an impossible fusion of card magic, light, and optical engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurning a deck into a solid object, whether crystal, wood, or another material, is a classic finale in card magic. The familiar cards become something unexpected. Birdy Cai and Jay Wang take the effect further: the deck becomes a transparent block, and light reveals the card that remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"972\" height=\"547\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l1sR0IP4EXk\" title=\"The Spirit Deck by Birdy Cai, Jay Wang\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-heading=\"The Effect\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Effect\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo participants each select a card.
