Bicycle 125th Anniversary Edition Deck
Bicycle 125th Anniversary Edition Deck. The USPCC is turning 125 years old in 2010. I don't know if they are having a party? I think there are still trying to get back on track after the big move to "Kentucky" But anyway they have made a new deck to celebrate this historic event. I will be the first person to shake my head at the USPCC for the way they do things but I am thankful for them. I could not image what the "Magic" world would be like without them and there "Bicycle" Playing Cards. i must say that this deck is pretty cool It comes in "Red or "Blue" nice quality, the finish you have come to love some "Old Time" pips, court cards, aces and jokers. I think the back design is real cool! Every card has the anniversary dates on the side of the face. The seal on the box says 125 years and the box is printed in shinny metallic ink which looks real nice, Not the sexiest designed box I have ever seen but it is not suppose to be I guess? Anyway this deck is hard to find right now because it will not be released to the world until 2010. Of course that is the plan right now, who knows what will happen there has been some real strange things happen to decks and the release plan so we will just wait and see. But you can get them right now, I have them. This cost is low and this deck does have huge potently to be a truly great collectible. I am not sure if that will happen with The USPCC in charge of it marketing but we will have to wait and see. This deck is a great deck for performing or everyday play.

Arcane Deck
The Arcane Deck, by Ellusionist Well here we have the latest effort from the "Ellusionist" I must give credit were it is due, These guys turned the playing card industry upside down and kicked it in the ass when the released the "Black Tiger " Deck. Well there has been tons of decks released from everyone you can think of since then but one thing you know, When "Ellusionist" makes a deck it is cool, performing worthy and high quality! The "Arcane" decks follow in this tradition very nicely. They come in "Black" or "White" have "Sexy" backs, cool "Alien chick" jokers a "double backer" everything you have come to expect. I love this deck, (especially the "White" the black is cool but overall the cards just seem a little to dark to me, but what do I know?) You will love it too, for performing, collecting, playing poker for the next 6 years in you cell while you await your release, it does not matter this deck is 1st class!

Smoke & Mirror Decks, Luxury Edition
OK, So we now have the new "Smoke and Mirror" Luxury Edition by "Dan and Dave" the Buck twins. This is the 3rd printing of this deck. Dan and Dave are "Jedi" when it comes to cards So you know that they would not put there name on a deck if it did not have plenty of quality and just like the first 2 editions if you are a performer you will like this deck it handles great. If you are a collector you should get your hands on a few decks fast because they do make a lot of theses decks and once they sell out they become very hard to find and you know what that means.... The price goes way up. So get them fast! I love this deck, and I think "Dan and Dave are among the best they have done a lot of "Good for magic" but I must be honest. I am a bit disappointed, They first put out the original "Smoke and Mirror" Decks that was cool! Then they put out the "Special Edition" Decks, well OK because they did change the "court cards" and they put "Special Edition" on the box. But now we have the "Luxury Edition" What the hell is going on here? The "Mirror luxury Deck" does come with two "Ace of Spades" one "White" face and one "Black" face and that is cool, but other then that it is the same deck as before? Oh of course this box says "Luxury Edition" which is good for collecting, but that is a term I look for more in a "Car" then a deck of cards ! The deck is great but please stop here guys. You have to much creativity, talent and credibility to turn this into the "Playing Card" equivalent of so many bad horror movies that go on and on until part 14. "Smoke and Mirror" was a fantastic idea and a first class deck! But I think its time to produce another new fantastic idea. I really don't want to see the "Super Duper Secret Agent Edition" next. Lets keep the "Cheese" in the dairy business.
