Raider Deck, Bicycle Playing Cards


The Raider Deck, Ok now we are talking! I have not been this excited about a new deck is a while, a long while, to dam long as a matter for fact! But this deck is everything a quality deck should be and I would buy the folks at "Magic Network" a drink if I ever run into them because they did a great job on this deck. The back design is sexy! The court cards have a color combination that just pops. Many other decks in the past have had a color scheme on court cards that make me vomit a little in my mouth every time I look at them. But ever person that I have shown these to says "WOW" The deck quality is very high I am talking about right up there with "Black Tigers" and "Ghost" just to name a few of the high quality decks, Speaking of "Ghost" just for a side note: The "White Ghost" Deck is one of my most favorite decks ever, but I almost never perform with them because of what they did to the "Pips." They have the red "pip" cards have red and "black" pips on them. When you show someone a "Heart" card with that deck, the heart is "Black" I think that this is very cool, but most people can not follow a routine, when they see there card is a jack of hearts and the heart is "Black". There mind just went out to lunch. Check this link if you have no idea what I am talking about. http://www.the1eyedjack.com/servlet/the-4/White-Ghost-Deck/Detail.
Sorry that was a long side track. But you will not have that problem with the "Raider Deck" its a black card with "Red" and "White" pips, People will understand that the "Spade is "White" because its on a "Black"card and the deck has some real cool jokers and a "Double Backer" what else could you want? Price? Well that is right too, You will be hard pressed to find a deck of this quality at this price.( they sell them cheap to me, so I sell them cheap to you) The "Raider Deck" has made my top 10 favorite decks!

Crimson Deck, by Dan Sperry. Ok lets get into this deck, Well we now have a deck that has razor blades, goth, wings, blood all kinds of fun loving stuff! Well I like blood and razorblades as much as anyone, maybe more? But the box looks more like the cover of a video game then a deck of cards to me. It sure is different and that gets big points from me. But other then a "Halloween" gig or going to my shink's office and offering to show him a trick with this deck ( that should get my meds adjusted) I am not to sure you will be sporting this deck out on to many gigs. Hey it sure will add some character to that collectors shelf though! The card backs are cool I like the red/black fade and it really pops with the white border. Standard court cards. the deck has 2 jokers but I am not sure what the hell they are suppose to be? The cards handle well, fan great but they feel a bit thin to me. This can be good or bad depending on your personal preference. Overall quality I think is middle of the road. The deck is strange and different looking, If you are a collector like me it will give you something to talk about with all the nice people that come over to visit and are kind enough to pretend they understand your strange addition to playing cards. Goth kids, horror movie fans and axe murderers rejoice we have a deck for you.
