Karnival Assassins deck

The Karnival Assassins Deck, Bicycle playing cards. Well they are here and I must say I had mixed thoughts as I have been waiting for this deck. I always like to see new decks come out, it is good for business but when I fist saw the promo photos for the deck I thought WTF? This is looking a bit tacky? It made me think of a comic book or a video game not a deck of cards. So when they showed up on my porch today I did not know what to feel, but The folks a "Big Blind Media" did a great job. The quality is nice, they handle, fan, farrow and perform well I expected all that. What I was really happy to see is the print quality of the cards is very good! The colors are deep and bright and crisp! The card backs have the same nice bright colors as the box. This is something that drives me nuts! You get a new deck and the box has a nice dark black color on it and then you open the box and the cards are more of a charcoal gray. Honestly the "Karnival Midnights" are guilty of this the color of the cards don't look as nice as the box. But they got it right this time and its a dam good thing because if all that red looked "pink" instead of "red" this deck would suck. I don't fault the creators of the deck when this happens, It is much more likely that it is a quality control issue with USPCC. Anyway this deck came out right! Its got great jokers and "Ace of Spades" a "double backer" a "force card" and some goodies printed on the box so it has what the performers need, probably not the best choice for kids cards tricks though.But that is up to you. The deck will stand out from the rest of the collection that's for sure. Never underestimate the power of a skull, gun, coffin, blood and bullets its a great way to say I love you to someone special and the holidays are just around the corner!

Alchemist Deck, Bicycle Playing Cards. Ok here is a cool new deck on the market. The deck was designed by "Stephen Rooks" I don't do who he is? But I don't know a lot of things and that don't make them bad. As far as the name "Alchemist" I don't know what the hell that means? But I do know it is a cool deck ! I was told there were only 2001 decks made. The "Ace of Spades" and the box feature a cool skull, The backs feature some real nice design and detail and are a very unique "Gold" color. The courts cards also sport this "Gold" color and quickly became one of my favorite color schemes of court cards ever. The backs are not standard "Bicycle" which is refreshing to me but you may or may not like that? The deck has some extras for performing. A double backer, A blank face backer, and a box that showcases the "6 of spades" on flaps and "7 of spades" written on the bottom of the box. The deck comes with 2 jokers that look cool, but I can not figure out what the hell I am looking at to save my life. I have looked at them many times and in different states of intoxication and still don't know what the hell they are suppose to be! They have "White" borders and handle very, very nicely! This is a great deck for performers and collectors alike and with the limited printing get them quick because I bet they will be gone soon!
