    It's funny. Almost three years after you posted this, I started watching a bunch of your videos and decided to buy myself a nice deck. I ran across a deck of Theory11 Monarchs in blue and had to have them just for the tuck case. When I realized how nice the cards are, I wondered if you had ever done a review on them and here I am. I have to say, I feel even better about my purchase.

    • @Watertrotter-ge5yp
      @Watertrotter-ge5yp 3 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      I know this is late, but I thought I would let you know just in case you haven’t found out yet. (By the way, this is all just my opinion based on doin card tricks for several years) For me there is a window of time between when the deck is brand new and crisp and when the deck is too worn to be any good for most tricks. A lot of tricks take advantage of a crisp new deck of cards, and after you get to a certain point the cards are really weak and flimsy. Another way that cards can be done for is if they get stained or deformed. I use cards a very large amount of the time, so I tend to need a new deck every couple of months for various reasons. Certain decks can also become unideal because they get used to the point where they don’t interact well with other cards in the deck.

    • @lions_roar0716
      @lions_roar0716 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Personally if my decks start clumping then I'll just pop them back in the tuck case and leave them in a cold room for a few months and that usually gets them back to how they were, as for bends a card press might be a good investment.

      @Watertrotter-ge5yp 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@danielchemaly1639 There isn’t really a set path to follow, but there is a kind of loose path that I like to take. I like to open up with a trick that I am fairly confident with, then go into a few other tricks that might be a little flashier or that I might not be so confident with so I can gauge reactions and get practice with them. Once I am ready to finish, I try to end it with one of my best tricks. If you need to learn any tricks or maybe how to feel more comfortable in social situations, I recommend the TH-cam channels Scam Nation and SankeyMagic. Scam Nation helped me when I was starting to get into magic (although it was called Scam School when I first started), and I still go back to both of those channels to learn new tricks or for ideas on different ways to do the same tricks. As you get more experienced with card tricks, you will start to develop kind of your own flow with it. I hope this was helpful and that you have a good day.

    4. Monarchs, clean, regal and some of the best handling cards I have ever owned.
    3. Vintage plaid deck, I fell in love with the design and colors, rich and feels great in the hand.
    2. Bicycle Dragon backs, loved the back design, looks great but at the same time not super crazy and over detailed, love the gold and red ones.
    And finally...
    1. Bicycle White Ghost deck, one of my first decks of cards and still my favorite, they are so beautiful, the pale whiteness and when the sun shines down on them they just vanish.They really are amazing, just sad that Ellusionist doesn't print the UV500 airflow versions anymore. Those were the best.

    I'm here because I recently played Poker with my sister and her husband. He pulled out a deck his mother got him from Vegas (which is also the brand name of the deck itself) It was made of a gold colored plastic that looked so elegant and beautiful I had to find something like that for myself. When I was dealing, the cards slid across the table like a fresh razor across your skin. Other times I deal with lower quality decks and they just grind to a halt or wind face up on the table. I don't know why but I really want one of those decks.

I've not used any of these but off the back of your previous review am trying to find some of David's Lions - I like how they bring an artistic nature to the deck, something more than just a deck of cards so probably my favourite from this list.

    Great review. I have a few Cherry Casino decks. And a few of your Ellusionist Decks-- In Gold and in Red. Also-- whenever I can find Monarchs on sale I buy a deck-- so now I have around 12-15 Monarch decks in different colors. Love your videos-- Could literally watch deck reviews and your reactions to other people's cardistry all day long. Amazing content.

  • @Genethagenius
    @Genethagenius 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great top 5! I keep hearing about the Cherry Casino deck, will check out. I don't disagree, just wanted to give my personal top 5: 5. Ellusionist Artifice- Nice thick gorgeous cards. 4. Aristocrat Casino Cards- Just... Wow. Especially if you can find an unclipped deck! 3. Theory 11 Artisans- One of my performance decks. They seem to last forever and I love the box and back design. (Only the black color though, not a fan of the white color). 2. Madison Rounders- Elegant and classy. Always reminds me of the card version of a tuxedo. They are almost too slippery at first but once they get broken in they are perfect. They also last a really long time. 1. David Blaine Split Spades/Lions- DB's decks are just incredible. They feel & handle amazing! I really love the Split Pades back design with the angel covering her eyes while holding a sword. I also love the Lions design too.
