ANY CARD AT YOUR FINGERTIPS AS FAST AS LIGHTNING.

"Ferrari don't make playing card indexes, but if they did, they'd have created DEX."

So, what on earth is a Card Index? Think of it as a secret stash for your deck of cards, cleverly tucked away in one (or several) pockets. It gives you, the magician, the power to pull out any named card and reveal it "from thin air" (or however you fancy).

Now, there are plenty of indexes out there, but DEX zooms ahead, leaving the competition in the dust, and here's why.

Typically, an index might excel in one area but falls short elsewhere. For example, it could be a breeze to use yet bulky as a brick, or it’s lightning fast but split between two pockets. You get the picture.

DEX, however, is the unicorn of indexes. It combines all the features magicians crave—speed, slimness, and ease—without any of the usual compromises.

It’s a full 52-card index that’s not just quick on the draw but also razor-thin, slipping effortlessly into those skinny jeans you love (because who doesn’t want to look good whilst doing magic?). Its smart design means it masquerades as an ordinary, compact wallet.

But wait, there’s more.

No more awkward fumbling! The genius of the DEX system lies in a unique "no counting" approach. The moment a spectator names a card, you’ve already pinpointed its value in your pocket. This lets you focus on your performance instead of zoning out while you wrestle with your pockets. It's all about using your muscle memory.

Right now, take a moment... Think of a card and say it in your mind. The time it took you to read that sentence is genuinely longer than it takes to locate any card in DEX. Seriously.

Crafted by the talented duo of Lloyd Barnes and Javier Fuenmayor, DEX has been fine-tuned over two years (sorry to the tens of thousands of folks following its production saga on YouTube who must have been on the edge of their seats!), and they’ve left no stone unturned. From its sturdy construction to those clever design touches that give DEX its sleek silhouette, flexibility, lightweight feel, and all-around practicality.

Each DEX unit is meticulously hand-assembled, made from a blend of materials that come together to create the most powerful and practical playing card index on the planet.

ONE MORE THING...

When you snag a DEX, you're not just getting an incredibly sought-after index; you also gain access to the most comprehensive index masterclass in existence, featuring groundbreaking teaching methods.

The DEX Masterclass is split into five jam-packed volumes:

Volume 1: DEX Crash Course
Lloyd and Javier spill every detail, plus their sneaky tips and tricks, to transform you into a DEX Ninja. By the end, you'll be pulling named cards from DEX faster than you can send a cheeky text.

Volume 2: Card Tricks
This volume is a highlight! Known for their creativity, Lloyd and Javier will not only teach you incredible tricks but also show you how to enhance some of the classics. Imagine performing the Invisible Deck without a gimmicked rough and smooth deck—all while letting the deck be fully examinable!

Volume 3: Not A Card Index?!
Thanks to DEX’s unique design, you can use any deck of cards, plus other objects like envelopes, billets, Tarot cards, and more. This section reveals tricks that baffle even the brightest magicians because they never saw an index used this way.

Volume 4: Collaborations
A select few DEX units made their way to some brilliant magic creators (Andrew Neiner, Jake Keane, Eric Stevens), and they devised some truly inventive ways to crank DEX’s cool factor up to eleven. This volume might just be your favourite.

Volume 5: Get The Most Out Of DEX
Lloyd and Javier have logged thousands of hours practising together from opposite sides of the globe, and during that time, they stumbled upon some MIND-BLOWING techniques that will have you mastering DEX in a flash. Without giving too much away, it’s like one of those optical illusions where you stare at it for 30 seconds and suddenly see Einstein’s face... only this is for DEX. You can even apply this concept to sharpen other magic skills—it’s that good!

Just some of our favourite tricks taught:

UVD:

A single blank card is placed in their hands. They name any card... a UV light is shone on the blank card and reveals the named card written on it.

Invisible DEX:
Invisible Deck is often hailed as the best trick ever. But it does have its downfall—the deck can’t be examined. With DEX, they can even keep the deck!

NO SKILL NEEDED:
Picture this. Any card is named, then in any location, the named card is revealed... with NO PALMING AT ALL! This trick was initially designed for beginners, but its effect and method are so ******* clever, even pros will be using it. It’s the type of trick that has both laymen and magicians giving a chef's kiss!

JOKERS:
A joker is removed from the deck and set aside. Any card is named, the participant deals down and doesn’t find their card. They find... a joker. In fact, every single card in the deck is a joker... except for the one card removed earlier, which magically turns out to be their freely named card. Everything is 100% examinable.

INVISIBLE BRAIN BLIZZARD:
This might just be the most powerful card trick ever. Here’s what happens... A deck is in full view. Any card is named. The deck is spread... and that card is the only face-up card. Not only that, it’s the only card with an odd back in the deck. And to top it all off, EVERY OTHER CARD IN THE DECK IS BLANK.

Normally, you’d need a couple of gimmicked decks and a deck switch to pull something like this off. With DEX, it’s just ONE sneaky "move" (that you probably already do), and the entire effect is sorted before you even make the first reveal. Plus, EVERYTHING IS FULLY EXAMINABLE. It’s honestly hard to fathom just how impossibly effective this trick is.

All of the above and so much more.

We even know someone who’s been road-testing DEX and uses it as their only everyday carry. They always have it on them, ready to make any named card pop up anywhere, anytime.

There are two types of card magic: the kind that’s achievable through maths or quick sleight of hand...

And then there’s Magic—the kind of tricks that have no explanation.

DEX IS that difference.

Anyone can practise tricks, but a magician creates Magic effortlessly.
