Building a 30-card combo deck: tips and tricks

By admin

Magic 30 cards are a popular type of card deck used in magic tricks and illusions. These card decks consist of only 30 cards, unlike traditional decks which have 52 cards. The purpose of using a deck with fewer cards is to make certain magical effects easier to perform and execute. One of the main advantages of using magic 30 cards is that they allow magicians to perform tricks that require a specific set of cards without having to carry around a full-sized deck. This makes it more convenient for magicians to perform on the go or in situations where a full-size deck would be impractical. Additionally, the smaller deck size also allows for faster and more efficient card manipulation.

8-inch AMOLED screen has ultra-thin bezels and boasts a class-leading vivid display with 120Hz refresh rate , and 1300 nits of daytime-ready peak brightness. To give a couple more comparison points, the OnePlus 7 Pro managed 11 hours and 50 minutes, while the Google Pixel 3 only made it to 7 hours and 21 minutes.

Additionally, the smaller deck size also allows for faster and more efficient card manipulation. With fewer cards to handle, magicians can move quickly and smoothly through their routines, adding to the overall impact and aesthetic of the trick. This can be particularly useful for tricks that involve sleight of hand or complex card shuffling sequences.

Nubia Red Magic 30W USB PD PPS Charger Teardown Review

On April 28th, Nubia's Red Magic 3 gaming smartphone was officially released at the Beijing RNG E-sports Center.

The product model was NB-A930A-USBA-1, supported a single USB-C port output. A look at charger surface, the QC protocol specification were 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/2.5 A, the maximum output was 30W. The fixed PDO of the charger are 5V/3A、9V/3A、12V/2.5A、15V/2A, and also compatible with PPS 3.3V to 11V output range. The charger was made by Shenzhen Kunxing Technology Co., Ltd.

The weight of the charger is about 61g.

Using ChargerLAB POWER-Z KT001 to detect the output protocol of this charger, the display showed USB DCP 5V/1.5A, QC2.0, QC3.0 protocol

The power profile of this charger supported four fixed PDO outputs with 5V/3A、9V/3A、12V/2.5A、15V/2A, and two PPS output with 3.3-11V/3A、3.3-16V/2A.

Teardown

Pry open the charger case and pull out the internal PCB board.

A large amount of glue was used to fix and dissipate heat between the components on the front side of the PCB. The transformer marked part number of the core type and the date of manufacture.

The input end was distributed with a delay fuse, an NTC surge suppression resistor, a common mode inductor, and three primary filter electrolytic capacitors.

An electrolytic capacitor from BERYL at the input, all three capacitors share the same specification of 400V 15μF, a total of 45μF.

The output USB-C port is fixed to a small PCB daughterboard. Due to the end of the small PCB daughterboard is very close to the primary side, it is wrapped with tape for insulation. Nearby the daughterboard is an optocoupler with glue insulation and there are two solid capacitors for output filtering.

The two output filter capacitors are also from BERYL, the specifications are 560μF 25V.

The blue Y capacitor is glue to the transformer.

Inside the PCB board, there are sufficient spacing reserved between the primary and secondary side.

The PWM controller LD5763GS from Leadtrend. The LD5763CGSU is a green mode PWM IC built-in with brown-in/out functions in an SOP-8 package. It minimizes the component counts, circuit space, and reduces the overall material cost for the power applications.

The LD5763CGSU features HV start, green-mode power-saving operation, and internal slope compensation, soft-start functions to minimize the power loss and enhance the system performance.

With complete protection including OPP (Over Power Protection), OVP (Over Voltage Protection), fast OSCP (Output Short Circuit Protection) and brown-in/out protection, LD5763CGSU prevents the circuit from being damaged under abnormal conditions.

Furthermore, the LD5763CGSU features frequency swapping and soft driving function to reduce the noise and improve EMI.

Skysilicon synchronous rectification driver and LD8526 MOSFET on the secondary side. Leadtrend LD8526 is a secondary side synchronous rectification (SR) driver IC designed for PD. It was suited for flyback low side and high side synchronous rectification in CCM, DCM and QR mode. LD8526 can generate its own supply voltage through low output voltage or high side rectification applications to charge the battery, suited for PD application, which output voltage range from 3V to 20V. In light load condition, LD8526 will enter green mode to reduce operation current by stopping the SR MOSFET driving function.

Magic 30 xards

Magic 30 cards also provide a unique challenge for audiences. Because the deck is smaller and contains fewer cards, spectators are often more intrigued and engaged with the trick. They may be more likely to focus on the deck and try to figure out how the magician is manipulating the cards, adding an extra layer of mystery and excitement to the performance. However, it's important to note that using a smaller deck does limit the range of tricks that can be performed. Some illusions or routines may require a full set of 52 cards, and will not be possible with a magic 30 card deck. Additionally, certain card games or gambling demonstrations may not be feasible with a reduced deck size. In conclusion, magic 30 cards offer a convenient and efficient option for magicians looking to perform card tricks and illusions. They allow for faster manipulation, increased engagement from audiences, and are easier to carry and handle. However, it's important to consider the limitations of a smaller deck size when planning performances and selecting tricks..
