Hey guys, I just wanted to know what to do with a destroyed LTD deck.
I destroyed it so that Ellusionist would send me a new one, because the box was scratched.
So, I cut up the box, cut up the jokers and kings, and got a new deck.
I was just wondering what to do with the rest of the deck (48 cards).
Any help wouldbe appreciated.

I'll take the Ace of Spades :) I collect the Aces from decks that I throw or get damaged Etc. to make a whole deck of Ace of Spades.

keep the deck for flourishing, shouldn't be too bad with 4 cards missing, and or use the deck for duplicates in tnr effects, or replacemtents should anything get messed up with your new deck.

Haha, to be honest, I'd love to get that deck. xD
But I doubt you're looking to give it away. In which case, keep it as a regular use deck. Try out any new flourishes and sleights with the deck. It won't matter if it gets bent, or creased, or if you drop it in a puddle. It doesn't matter what happens to it, because it's just 48 cards that you got for free, missing the deck box.

Make a 6 card x card 8 "uncut sheet" of the backs to put on the wall.
Add in 4 extras and use it for practice.
Glue them into a permanent LTD fan to display on the wall.

Yeah, I would do something cool with the Ace of Spades!! Maybe frame it and keep it with your collection. If you plan on using your new LTD deck then gaffs would be cool. There are many options!!

You would become a new god of magic if you started using LTD cards for gaffs ;)
Mystery is the basic appeal of magic. Once the secrets are known, the magician becomes a mere manipulator, an actor in a suspense drama which has little impact because the audience knows the ending in advance.

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

I absolutely love the idea of using them for TnR tricks, signed card tricks, etc., but only if you're performing them in front of card collectors!  Y'know, the kind of people who'll wet their pants and let their jaws drop to the floor when they see you trash a LTD card...
