Karnival Ryujin Deck


KARNIVAL RYUJIN's represent a totally new look for a Bicycle Deck, incorporating beautiful oriental styled imagery and a glossy metallic gold ink. With a brand new, eye catching back design… new Ace Of Spades, new Jokers, new case and two useful bonus cards. The metallic gold ink has also been used to replace all the red from the faces of the deck, creating a truly distinctive pack of cards. Designed by renowned artist Sam Hayles and printed on a thick, high grade stock these are truly beautiful. This Deck has the U.S.P.C.C. Famous "Air Cushion" Finish. The deck comes with "gaff" card and a "blank face" card. There is also a hidden card in the "Bar code" on the bottom of the box. Well I must take my hat off to the "Crew" at "Big Blind" They have done a great job on this deck and restored my faith in them! I thought the original "Karnival" deck was fantastic, and the "Midnight" deck was the next logical step, but after that with the "Assassins" and the "Renegades" I was no were near as excited about, But this "Ryujin" deck is cool! I must admit I don't know what "Ryujin" means or even exactly how to pronounce it, (if you know me that should not surprise you) But between the artwork, colors and quality this is a deck you will want to have in your collection. If I had to bet, I would bet that the 1st edition printings of this deck will sell out fast so collectors get your today.

Karnival Renegades, Bicycle playing cards


Karnival Renegades, Bicycle playing cards. Here we have the 4th deck release in the "Karnival" series. produced by Big Blind Media. Well when the first "Karnival" deck came out it caused an uproar! It was different from anything else out there it brought "Death" to playing cards and did a very nice job of not making it look juvenile or like it belonged in a mall store that sells other"Skull" stuff to teenagers. But I am afraid that with the 4th release we are now traveling the same route as most "horror movies" travel by the 3rd or 4th movie. The quality is the same as all the other "Karnival" decks "Standard" it performs well. It comes with the "Karnival Renegades" "Ace of Spades" 2 jokers, a "double backer" and a "gaff card" Other for your friends, teenagers, Halloween party or "Dexter Morgan" I am not sure how many venues this deck would be well received at. On that thought, If ever meet "Dexter Morgan" I am doing card magic for him using the "Karnival decks" for sure!!! "Karnival decks" have been made in "White", "Black", "Red" and now you can have skulls, Bombs, hatchets, knifes and everything else you mother warned you about in blue! All kidding aside, the deck is worth having. Its just the concept is getting old. I loved "Nightmare on elm street" and "Friday the 13th" the first few times.... Look on the bright side, You can cross that hard to buy for sociopath off your Christmas list because the "Renegades" are here! I will bring this deck with me to my next "Shrink" appointment, lets see if he changes my meds! LOL! To find the all the "Karnival" decks as well as

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!

Midnight Karnival Deck


The Midnight Karnival Deck, Bicycle Playing Cards Oh yeah baby!!! This is by far the best thing that has happened in my week! (says a lot about my life huh?) But really I love this deck. Just like the first (white) Karnival deck this deck is "sick" but its black and has more skulls and that makes it just a little sicker! Hey another great job by the folks at "Big Blind Media" they did it again. Just off the press is part 2 to the karnival deck and this time they brought it to the dark side. The quality you need to perform as well as a "double backer" and two cool ass jokers and other goodies on the box case. Even though the deck is "Black & White" and the 2 people who read this blog know I am tired of this. This deck is exciting and is a must have! All the "Midnight Karnival" decks I have in the store are 1st Editions and the last karnival 1st editions were gone in just a few weeks. This is a perfect gift for that "creepy uncle" at the family cookout! To find the Midnight Karival Decks please visit my store www.the1eyedjack.com were you will find these and hundreds of other decks of playing cards and fine quality casino supplies.

Karnival Deck , Bicycle Playing Cards


Karnival Deck, Bicycle Playing Cards here is the newest Black and White deck in the recent line of many. The quality is bicycle with the "Air Cushion" Finish so they handle great. The deck comes with 2 jokers, one holding the 3 of hearts. 1 double back card and the deck has a very slight one way mark on the back which could be used in countless tricks. I personally am growing a bit tired on Black and White decks this seems to be the only thing coming out now but that being said, This deck is Macabre looking and I like it! They handle just like a standard bike deck, real nice fresh out the box. The deck is rare and was produced in a limited run. Get them while they last because I think they will go the way of the "Smoke" & "Mirror" decks gone soon. Karnival is a fine deck, I wish it had some blood red color mixed in but even without these cards handle well and look sick!
