The public curiosity with serial killers is well known. Experts say that our fascination is based more on a desire to understand the WHY behind their incomprehensible acts, rather than the nature of the acts themselves. How did they become killers? In what ways are they different from us? Are they different from us at all?
So be prepared. Your close-up audience will demonstrate a somewhat morbid curiosity in this deck. They will want to look through it, comment on individual monsters that catch their eye. And, they will instantly be drawn in by the idea that you are about to reveal some of those monsters’ murderous secrets…
The Serial Killer Deck is suitable for all performance types, with themes spanning from the heroic capture of these depraved individuals to the truly macabre, and everything in between. Incredible routines included from Christopher Taylor, Rolando Santos, and Vince Wilson make this deck a powerful performing tool right out of the box, or let your own imagination run wild with the new plots, themes, and possibilities offered by the Serial Killer Deck.

I’ve always loved the idea of the rapping hand, but have never liked the ones that I’ve seen in the past; they just seemed too contrived.
This version is the first one that I’ve seen that actually made any sense, so I knew that I had to add this to my arsenal, but I’ve learned that in the realm of bizarre effects, what you actually receive doesn’t always live up to the hype. Not this time…this is an AMAZING piece, and far exceeded my hopes and expectations!
An amazing idea from John Ferrentino, and incredible craftsmanship from Chris Sipes…
