Introduction:

This compilation aims to inspire students to explore the Mene-Tekel deck and its potential. This exploration isn’t new; in 2003, Chris Wardle, through Paul Hallas, released a 27-page booklet titled Investigating the Mene-Tekel Deck (Magic’s Forgotten Trick Deck).

We start with Ed Marlo’s innovative take on the Roughed Mene-Tekel and conclude with David Britland’s ingenious routines. The contributions in between are designed to provide context and inspiration, aiming to spark interest in this fascinating deck.
