Spectrum is the official rainbow deck from the Tally-Ho brand: a single back design printed in 54 different colours, one per card. It is not a trick deck in itself, but its coloured backs offer plenty of possibilities in magic effects and visual routines.

Design

The back is the classic Tally-Ho one and the faces are standard, which means these cards can be mixed with other decks. It includes an Ace of Spades designed for this edition, a regular joker and a guarantee-style joker with a built-in revelation, plus two gaff cards (gimmicked for magic effects).

It comes arranged in Si Stebbins order, a classic card magic stack in which each card bears a fixed relationship to the next; the back colours follow that same order.

Manufacturing

It is made by the United States Playing Card Company with Tally-Ho card stock and the Linoid finish, a lightly textured finish characteristic of this brand that helps the cards glide. The tuck box is custom.
