Sentinels Deck, Theory 11


Sentinels Deck, by Theory 11. Well here is the newest release in a long line of brilliant products produced by our friends at Theory 11. The Sentinels Deck. So here you go, The deck is just what you would expect form theory 11, dam cool and 1st class! The box is about as sexy as you can get and the "back design" is among my all time favorites! The quality is... well its theory 11, nuff said! The deck is great top perform with and handles very well. I must admit I am not in love with the face of the cards, the corner pips are very small and although I applaud the design work and originality its just does not get a "rise" out of me, the back design on the other hand "Swing" unbelievable! I love it! As far as for collector's well its not a "bicycle" deck, and that "brand" means a lot to many collectors, but if you are a hardcore "bicycle" fan and you don't pick up this deck just because it does not say "bicycle" you are a fool! This deck is just the current masterpiece from theory11 and I am sure there will be many more to come, great job guys as always I thank you for doing "good" for the playing card and the magic industry. To find the "Sentinels" as well as some "uncut sheets" of the "sentinels deck" please visit my store www.the1eyedjack.com Check out my video review of the Sentinels deck below

Fantasy Deck, Anne Stokes, Limited Edition

The "Fantasy" Deck is a Deck of Bicycle Playing Cards that features the world acclaimed Fantasy artwork of artist "Anne Stokes" The United States Playing Card Company produced this deck as a "Limited test run" printing and at this time has not decided if they will or will not ever print this deck again. Each card in the deck has a different image. Ok so here we have a winner! A hot goth chick, dragons, skulls beautiful art work, and did I mention the hot goth chic! The full color on this deck combined with the "Fantasy art of Anne Stokes" This deck is a true collectors item and one of my favorites! I personally like the "art work" of this deck much more then the "Alchemy deck" If I could ever find a "uncut Sheet" of this deck, it would make a fantastic "coffin" liner for me when that day comes. To find the great new deck of "Fantasy Art of Anne Stokes " Bicycle playing cards. Please visit my store www.the1eyedjack.com where you will find hundreds of decks of collectible playing cards for magicians, collectors, poker players, guys that like goth Chic's and everyone in between

Alchemy Deck, Limited Edition


New Alchemy Deck, Bicycle Playing Cards, Limited Edition. The Alchemy Deck was inspired by iconic and retro Tattoo imagery. This deck was produced by the United States Playing Card Company and was printed as a "limited test run" At this time the usppc is undecided if they will or will not ever print this deck again. Every card in this deck has a different image on the face. So here is my thoughts, At first glance you will be taken back by the printing of this deck, The uspcc has come up with a way to take "full color" printing to the next level. The deck is a bit over the top, but it sure does have its place, The box is a perfect 10! This is what a "Skull" deck should look like. (Take note magic makers, a piss poor attempt even for you) The quality is OK, feels a bit thinner than a regular "bike" deck to me, but I am not sure how much the quality matters for this deck, I cant believe anyone is going to perform with this one. Overall my favorite thing about this deck is the way it looks sitting on the self, I don't care whats inside. This deck is a collectors sick wet dream!
