Blindfolded, I honestly barely knew the difference...
Many people get caught up in the whole playing card hype but ask yourself what you're buying them for. If it's quality, you can find that in almost every deck made by USPCC. BUT if its rarity.. well you're screwed! jk, check out the limited ones. KS has a bunch. Ellusionist.com etc..

He was definitely blindfolded. No sane man who could see would put a single card facing the opposite way like that
OG LUNG BUSTA yes!
That's what they want you to think
@@biff2702 what
OMG!!! XD
I've made many sane people put a card in like that to pull of magic.
Your initial reaction to the Bicycles just goes to show how well-crafted they are. You were 100% sure that it was a $200 deck. And I like that analogy you gave. The Virtuoso deck is top-of-the-line, but you've always got Ol' Reliable Bicycles if you need them.
I'm a sucker for the back design on the Virt deck, though.
Alied Chiv how did you know it was an act. Prove to me 100% that he acted at all
1000% even :D
its cards
I like the Bicycle cards. But they cost 20$ here. The 2$ decks here are sticky (great for building pyramids ) and break or peel after after a single card game session.
Tally Ho is a nice step up from Bicycle. They seem to last longer and faro better - much smoother edges. Nicer backs for flourishing too. As for Virtuoso decks - the more recent ones are of course much cheaper so keep an eye out for new releases every year or so. I believe they might also have a better stock than the original black & red one. As a novice, I find Virts decks more easy to flourish.
4 dollars a card
2 Bicycle decks for 1 Virtuoso card haha xD
Jeff From Africa yep
+Pedro Paczkoski vkihtyg
It's a 52 cards deck. So... No
R.I.P. two cards
“I’d never spend 200$ on a deck of cards”
*spends 800$ on LV cards*
"Never in a thousand years...." Oh yeah....
At least he didn't spend 200
@@tonyforshyr9381 well, thats what i said
$200*
Dollar sign first... $1 $2 $3 ... geddit ?
If I spend 200$ on a deck of cards, it better make me win every single game.
The problem is, your opponents will be using cards from the same deck.
ten bucks on amazon. same deck
Somebody doesn't play MTG.
Bull_LockS Nice name
Bita_LockS what the hell is 200$???? Are you trying to say $200??????? Whoa.
This dude flourishes cards blindfolded better than i do with my eyes open. Jfc
You need to look into Richard Turner he is completely blind and does the most mind blowing card tricks,shuffles etc... Netflix has a documentary on him now too.
How did he make that one face down card disappear at roughly 4 minutes???? It's driving me insane!
Its really a small difference
“Oh yeah. These are obviously the Virts. Definitely. The smooth edges and the broken in deck. These feel sooo good.”
*tries actual virts*
“Oh... Hmmm...”
That moment, while still blindfolded, and he knew he F'd up.
Shows that it really doesn’t matter and a waste of money
so, its actually comparison between 12$ deck and 2$ deck... yeah.
Mailfor Websignup 12$??? 2$??? Did you skip 3rd grade?
Sunil 246 stop!!!! $20 and $4!!!! Like that!!!
$2 and $12 you mean?
Yeah, it's a $2 deck vs $12 deck. The $200 title was just a click bait.
No the cards now go for $200 but when he got them they were $12
what am I doing watching this,I don't even have cards and I have an exam tomorow
(Exellent video, good comparition and awsome tricks BTW)
juan Franco Hauser I know the feeling when random videos on TH-cam are way more interesting than learning for an exam xD
same
ME TO
same xD
I have an exam tomorrow as well!
"This is one hundred percent the 200$ deck" "one thousand percent sure"
" so now to the second deck, the Bicycle obviously" 😂😂😂😂
Just my opinion but, unless you're doing "Cardistry", it's best to do magic with cards people are familiar with. Bicycles are what laypeople buy probably 90% of the time, so they really don't question them. I understand if someone does question your $200 deck, then you can just hand them out for examination. But, honestly, who's going to do that ? Risking the cards being dropped or being returned sticky or wet ? Not likely.
Point being, the expensive deck is probably the way to go for flourishes, etc. But the most practical cards are the common ones. Even this guy was fooled, because he has great card chops and could probably do "miracles" with even a Dollar Tree deck. He made the Bikes do what he wanted. So, the real difference is $198.
I see your point but i Love to do magic with different kinds of decks and I havnt had this problem really.its just cards. If you let them see and handle the cards and you are making them laugh they wont expect these stuff
Lol, when he thought the bicycles where the virts I cracked up so badly.
This is a good video to show people who think "Every deck of cards that has a special design is better than the normal plain bicycles" ;) I still do buy decks that have nice designs though because they're good for flourishes and just being a collector item.
"this blindfold is useless."
"I assure you, I'm blindfolded!"
pls help me understand
He’s saying usually in magic, there is a way to see either through the blindfold or peek under the blindfold for magic tricks. But he’s saying that in the video he really can’t see
mc12 when
ayo.. wait.. what are you doing here LMAO-
Did not expect to see you here
In other words, bicycles are dope.
I've got some Jack Daniels bicycles that don't have the cushion finish and they blow haha
4:23 *it was at that moment, he knew, he **-f’ed-** up*
The Placebo effect is strong here my friends.
See you in hell! Are you sure you're using that term correctly?
Forreal
He’s wearing a blindfold though...
the rate afterwards
I know science and im a nerd in school for science and here is a placebo affect for example medicine that isnt medicine can fool people and make them think that it is real medicine and that helps them
$2 Deck of Cards vs $15 Deck of Cards
Fixed your title
Dom Sowards no he doesn't
K-Drix86 P
Doesn't what?
Dom Sowards True
Dom Sowards didnt you listen
just because its worth 200 dollars right now doesnt mean its quality is better than a 15 dollar card deck
So really it's a $15 deck vs a $2 deck.
200
they didn't change the card just the price from 12 to 200. The cards are worth $200
Exactly, the $15 Virtuoso green decks are the same exact quality, these red ones are a collectors' item.
YES
No there $200 -_-
my family spent around $3500 on a deck of cards, carnival cruise included
People have to realize that the deck wasn't always THIS expensive, lol. Pretty much all of the virtuoso decks are 14-15 dollars during the first few months. Just like anything else, once it becomes limited, it'll become more and more pricey because although there are magicians and cardists, there are also card collectors.
+ArSeNaL The Gamer yeah. Mentioned that in the video..
Chris Ramsay My b, just needed to address it again because I see a bunch of people saying that it's a scam.
That's not really how that works. Plenty of limited things are cheaper than they were initially. Why? Nobody cares. Inflated values on limited editions only happens when the limited editions continue to be desired.
Also, the clown in front of the camera needed to realize that instead of clickbaiting.
The $200 deck might have that value now, but it was produced as $15 deck so they didnt take too much fancier stuff in consideration to add when they made it, so the difference in quality will be minimal.
sure but have you used them before? Because I have bought the new FW17 Virtuoso deck and the difference between it and a regular Bicycle deck is there and it is worth the extra money.
I mean it’s 6-7 times as expensive.
9:02 I'm not a magician or even a good card shuffler and I watched to the end. Thanks for the shout out. To be honest, I don't even know how I got here. lmao
The Bicycle deck also has a lot of interesting history behind it too. Its my favorite! Thanks for the great video.
Ayy u help me play Bs ty
Would be very interesting to do this test again with several different cardists. And do the same tests after the decks have been used as well, to see if those expensive cards hold up better over time.
can you do a blindfold test with different USPCC cards
standard, monarchs etc..
As a poker player I've learned that a good deck of cards will prove itself over time. I've had decks that are useless after one night of poker but I've also had some that I've used for weeks. I think usage time is important here.
@Nether Bound bicycle
i recommend Plastic Bridge Size cards for Poker.
@Shaky Shane def plastic cards in general. Most Bicycle are papel and will wear quickly. Plastic can endure weeks and weeks of poker games.
Came to youtube wanting to learn some cardistry, left with an Amazon cart full of puzzles. Thanks for that lol.
That's definitely the Virtuoso deck...1000% sure!!!
Me: lmfao rofl
I'm a bicycle deck
Tate Whamsler best comment
Tuval Bitton true lmao
totally
Mine is a ship deck
How does it feel being a Bycicle deck?
Oh mannnn that was great laughing to your reaction when given the second deck while you were blindfolded. I had a good laugh there.!
I'd definitely pay 200 bucks if they came with a life-time guarantee, like replacement for deteriorated cards.
The big question is: Is the Virt Deck worth $198.00 more? My impression is that the answer's "NO!" Unless someone can prove an OBJECTIVE SIDE-BY-SIDE STAT COMPARISION, I'd stick with TALLY-HOs, which are 2x as good as Regular Bikes. They cost $1 more but are worth it. Save the $198.00 to buy a TON of more Magic stuff, or pay your rent, insurance, food, utilities, etc.
davejohnson tally ho is awesome. the reason the virts are expensive because of its rarity which makes it very collectible. some people would pay alot in order to complete their collection
davejohnson I really like the tally ho-s too but he said in the vid. The deck is like 12 bucks. Still a lot in comparison with the tally ho-s but it isn't too bad. The reason it's 200 bucks is because it is now a collectors item, a limited edition
it's SGD 55 here
which is like 39.28 USD
Like he said, it all depends on what you need it for. I have never ran into a situation where I would need any deck of card that is worth more than $5. But if you're a professional magician working a sold out crowd where a screw-up could hurt your reputation and your dream, you might want to spend a little more.
Not just playing cards, in almost all products, there are points where the prices jump exponentially just for a tiny increase in performance. Those products are meant for very small portions of the population that need it...or people with money to burn.
seriouslz why I watch this video, I can't even shuffle a set of cards without the half of them drop on the ground
W0T? How do you shuffle? xD
That's why you practice man 😉 keep practicing and you will get it!
No, the question is, why did you bother writing such a pointless response? Why would anybody care if you can shuffle or not?
I cared
You don't grammer either
I am really late to this but watching Chris messing around with the cards is super mesmerizing
Me: Casually Reads Subtitles
Subtitles:
*Orgasm sound*
When?

ethan park omg haha
Guhihgd?
Wow them skills 😳
liar, you only have 26 subs!
Liar, he have 78 subs
liar he have 121 subs
ya he knows how to properly open playing cards ;-;
Liar, he have 153 subs
Great comparison video. I'm brand spanking new into cardistry, so bicycle are my budget, so it was great seeing your first guess and your description of the the cards as hang out buddies rocked haha. Dig your channel and can't wait for the next notification for your next upload. Rock on Chris oh and Happy Birthday for tomorrow.
I use $0.8 card and I'm cool with that
Mines $0.25 haha
Mines paper with numbers on it
I'm using tissue paper..
@@seatankoable I'm using toilet paper
@@brawlstarsbelike6631 im using invincible deck
Hard to beat a nice Bicycle Deck! Not just the quality but the cool history behind them as well.
Oooooh! Bicycle card is 2$ !!!! It's almost 6$ in UAE
Hood Hussin why are the $ AFTER the number????????
@@SonnyGTA Because how do you read them, 2 dollars (2$) or dollars 2 ($2). That just makes much more sense.
Ummmm no it’s about 6 AED 1$=3.6AED
( I live in Abu Dhabi )
Actually when you order in bulk like an entire brick then the cost is about 120 AED but just buying one to two decks will cost 75 AED. I recently bought some.
Its about 5$ in india.1$=70 rs
I am not a magician but I thoroughly enjoyed this! I love playing cards. I want to learn these impressive tricks
I loved it! Very noice idea of testing! And very interesting to know you wouldn't pay that much either for cards. I'm not a magician, but want to be. I'm gonna get a setup once I start getting a little more income in very soon. I've been watching a lot of magic trick videos of you, Spidey, Blaine, Dynamo, Derren Brown, Shin and many others I've gone over. I've loved magic since a kid. #90sKid. Hehe. Born in '89. Many consider you the best magician. I love the puzzle stuff and so forth! Best wishes on the newest show too, or your first, I'm not sure because I'm not too familiar with the work you've already done. But I hope we see more of that here! Cheers from the Philippines! I'm originally from infamous Miami, FL, USA, and happily left but I've been here for over 3 years and later this year I seek to live in Jordan with a good online friend I've had for years. Hehe. Cheers mate!
Congrats once again! really cant wait to get my hands on it and showcase it on poker nights!
great content lately chris, keep up the good work
These Bicycle cards cost 5 to 6 euros in europe
Customs
No
@@usman12311 Yes
Yes
In Bosnia it is about 1€
I am so fckng happy youtube suggested one of your videos and now I am subbed and hooked. The info is great but production man... Props to you video editing skills, shots and cuts and all the jazz. amazeballs, thanks a bunch!
there is something about opening up a brand new deck of cards that just makes me happy
I can feel the difference between regular Standard Bicycle cards and certain other decks, and the way I feel the difference is usually when I start a riffle shuffle how "bendy" the whole deck feels. For instance the Memento Mori's bend is alot softer on my right index finger, but doing the same thing to the Bike's gets a little bit too much pressure.
i know im late, but the virts come without jokers, making them 2 cards thiner i belive.
Jewish Person oh true
They do come without jokers, but they come with 4 add cards
but they're super thin anyways so not much of a difference also I know im late
@@bear.skylegion1216 im later
Old video, but I just started collecting primarily to get into cardistry. Love the art of the decks that I come across. So much talent and imagination that goes into these decks. Hard not to get lost in the $12 decks from Theory11 (which I love btw) versus $75+ decks. The collection begins!
Shut the front door up, a $2 dollar deck still gets the job done so why spend lots of cash or something on a different deck.
Because magic is an art and part of that art is the presentation
I have a 1200$ deck...
...a Magic the Gathering deck :P
I have one too, it's right outside my patio door. Beautiful stained wood.
Sounds like a semi decent magic deck 😂 I’ve seen decks that have a lot more money out into them haha
Mine is about $1500 now, lel (=
Lol I'm the same
why is it $1200 tho
The $2 deck that happens to be the one on my shelf 🏃♂️
I'm not a magician and I watched to the end, no I was not bored, it was fascinating. A few days ago I decided to attempt to learn a few tricks, though I can barely even shuffle. I watched a few cardistry videos and wanted to try one, I remembered I saw a pack of cards during moving and I knew exactly where it was, and it's blue bicycle.
Bro, U are the reason I got back into Sleight and Magic.
I got you and Madison's Red Knights, but it's gonna b a min b4 I can break those badboys out.
I am disabled and no longer able to work and I've got Nerve Damage to my hands and arms as well as Arthritis so I use cards as a way to excersice them without hurting too badly. Cards have also helped me socially and with depression and it's all becuz of You, Alex and Ekat. Thank U so much y'all don't even know! Keep up the great work my friend!👍👍
Please reply if you can Chris, are Bicycle cards great for fanning and shuffling cards like you? Im a beginner magician and my deck of playing cards are very bending and thin like a paper so I need new ones. Those "$2" Bicycle cards you have are $15 here and my brother bought some before just to throw them so they're all wrecked.
I still think the bicycle cards are better...
Much more affordable and I'm not a magician
wait i dont remember commenting this
Dude that’s a very good way of describing the playing cards as a go to friend
I hope someone will see this. Forget tuck cases and designs. Card quality wise what are the best for handling? Are all theory 11 decks just looks changing or are certain ones better quality cards than others?
Nice Video, wer freut sich auch jz auf deutsch schreiben zu können und Chris versteht es ;)
Juulu ich
:D
Juulu haha jaa☝
Chris kann Deutsch?
Jo hat er in seinem Fakten Video gesagt ;)
"This is what gets you into clubs, VIP access you know what I mean"
Me: I WANT THEM NOW
Loved the humiliation - you manned up!
Bro I love all ur videos. I just went and bought a bicycle pack haha I live in reno so I just had some used casino cards. But I can do all the stuff in ur cardistry video. Currently perfecting thr simple cuts before I move onto your fan tutorial! You tutorials are so easy to follow and big difference between other people.
I am not a magician but I've always been amazed by the art. You are very inspiring and fun to watch. You have me wanting to get into cardistry so I might get one of these $2 decks to practice some of your simple stuff!
Hey Chris. I've bought many decks in the past and I've found the theory 11 cards have the thinner feeling you are talking about, whereas the ellusionist doesn't. For that reason I haven't bought any cards from ellusionist for a long time. Are there better handling decks that ellusionist produces? I have the blue ltd and the infinity decks.
3:35 It's so cool and soothing to watch cards get fanned and spread and cut like that. My bro-in-law is a magician and sadly he can't teach me these moves because even the smallest hand movements go against the code.
I loved this video! You are fun to watch because you're are a natural at being in front of the "camera." You appear fun, intelligent, uplifting, entertaining, and good-looking. The setup is a perfect, clean, simple background. You speak clearly, and at a good speed.😊 lol, that sounds like I'm a TH-cam video judge or something 🤣.
I'm not. I just really really appreciate a dam good I well done formative video!
Oh, and I am an amature card collector who mostly plays Klondike and the variations.
you say you would not pay for card at the price of 200 dollars, yet you probably spent like a million dollars with the deck collection that you have!
And it has to be said, that is a very impressive collection, I have never seen anyone with so much cards, it's crazy!!
Dean Magic his collection is not worth millions for sure. He does have a lot of decks, but those are not really all expensive except maybe the virts and few other.. There are some collections that are far more expensive
Yeah Jaspas collection is far more impressive than Chris'. But there is also a Japanese magician called "Kitaro". That dude has like bricks of Jerry's, Dunes, shit load of Golden Nuggets, and loads of other expensive vintage decks. Just search on youtube "Kitaro card collection"
Dean Magic well not pokemon cards😂
I have Harry Potter themed cards instead of
.hearts
.diamonds
.spades
.clubs
I have
.griffindor
.ravenclaw
.slitherin
.hufflepuff
I love my cards
when he talked about the 2$ cards as a go-to friend when the others are busy, i felt that...
I'm pleased you put this up, but I can't say I'm surprised to find out that cut paper is basically the same as other cut paper.
I don't know what's so taboo about opening valueable/ rare stuff. It's like getting meal prepeard by some high class CHEF and then just stearing at it.
5uperM well, he could have sould it later, for an even higher price, bit now its open
and then what? have somebody else just stare at it?
It's all about value.
If it is unopened, the value is higher, because it is going to be brand new if it is eventually opened.
It's like buying a car and the first thing you do is take the car keys and scratch the car paint. You just don't ... xD
@@BestAnimeFreak Hmm, bad analogy, it's more like washing a car and immediately driving it through muddy terrain to get to your destination. The point op makes is it still technically fulfilled its use, whereas as a collector item would simply have been stared at. Going back to the analogy, the man got to his destination by ruining the wash, albeit wasting 12 bucks on a car wash, whereas would have gotten nowhere had he just admired the 12 dollar work. However, what op fails to also understand is that some things are meant to be admired.
I love the $2 Deck of CARDS (BICYCLE DECK OF CARDS)
Dude I just found you on TH-cam and I hope you are genuinely the guy you seem to be here.

Bicycle cards seem like '' Virtuoso cards in disguise'' when he started with the blindfold test
You are very amazing you’re making me want try card tricks
This man convinced me to get a pack of bicycle
Next 2$ 1000 degree knife vs 2000$ 1000 degree knife
Handy Keppy I don’t think that’s how it works…
I will do a blindfolded test on that to tell the difference
Handy Keppy what’s with the retarded dollar sign placement!???
+SonnyGTA what does it matter? lol
PlanetGaming One is right, one is wrong. That's the difference.
Lmao that comparison...
Why did it work so well tho
Love the analogy to types of friend. Stick with the $2 ones!
7:44 Whoa. Double fan-bow. All the way. Oh my God!
how did u get a deck of bicycle cards for $2
Dollar store or you can buy a brick at as low as $20 (sometimes less)
Retarted Stuff walmart target or walgreens convenient store
I guess he is from Europe, decent cards here costs 5€++
I'm from Europe too, got a pack of 12 bicycle decks for £13 from Costco
4:28 LMAFO at this exact moment my computer made the battery critically low sound and I could not stop lauhing for 2 mins straight.
Thanks to you I'm going to try and learn to do this too!
The real magic here is that some people can sell a 12$ pack of cards for 200$.
"They're just playing cards." I think you upset 1,947 people with that comment. LOL
:-P
Man, even blindfolded, your good at card tricks.
Would have been nice to see what the face/KQJ and joker cards look like in that fancy deck
This video made me appreciate hand tattoos.
That's your great grandson's college tuition.. dic*.. jokes aside - As per usual, great entertainment value! Have a good one.
Haha with the blind fold he was all psyched about the bicycle deck and doing all these tricks thinking they are the more expensive deck but than at the end with he blind fold off its "bicycle deck is oookaay? Its ookaay." Haha
lol what if his assistant is just him reaching over to grab the blindfold lol
Are you Ragnar Lothbrok from "Vikings"? :D
I have the virtuoso cards autographed i live near them
That was funny. The magic of the placebo effect
