Red Dragon Deck, Bicycle Playing Cards

Red Dragon Deck, Bicycle playing cards. Here we have the newest release from "Magic Markers" The "Red Dragon Deck" Well before I go on about this deck I should probably start by saying I am not a big fan of "magic makers" or there decks of playing cards. They have produced may decks over the years and some have been pretty good, others not. I will let you decide for your self about this one but here is my take. The "Red" and "Yellow" box, well it is a bit loud for my taste but it sure as hell stands out from the other decks on the shelf. Anyone who knows me knows I have a love for dragons and I know there are many different types but the dragon on the front of the box? Are you kidding? I have seen nicer dragons on a Chinese food menu. Now that I have that off of my chest, the quality of the deck, well the quality is "Magic Makers" the same as all there other decks middle of the road. The deck does come with some extras a blank face, a double backer, a double backer that is red on one side and yellow on the other and a "dragon" card just in case you cant get enough of that "great" dragon artwork from the front of the box! Hey I know I am beating up this deck, and that is a very silly thing to do as a business man that has theses decks for sale. But everyone has there own likes and dislikes. You may think this is a fantastic deck and you would be right, for you. Its just not for me. When I started this "Blog" I started it to give an honest opinion and I always do that. So if you like this deck please remember this is just "my" opinion and like "Larry Flint" told a supreme court judge " opinions are like assholes, everybody has one" To find the "Red Dragon" deck as well as hundreds of other decks of playing cards for magician, collectors, and guys that have spent 2 years getting artwork of "dragons" tattooed on there back, please visit my store www.the1eyedjack.com

Black Scorpion Deck, Bicycle Playing Cards

Black Scorpion Deck, Bicycle Playing Cards. Here is the newest of the new, and in the playing card world if you archive that title its yours for a few weeks anyway. At first glance this deck appears to be a follow up to the "Black Tiger" Deck. I guess there are only a few problems with that The "Black Scorpion" deck was designed by "magic makers" and the "Black Tiger" by ellusionist. Such is the playing card business. Unless this is your first day on earth you should not be surprised that 2 different manufactures have created a similar deck. The good news is the "Black Scorpion" is also a nice deck of cards with fine quality. In my opinion the quality of the stock is not quite as nice as a "Tiger" or a "Ghost" deck, but close and and certainly as nice as all the other color decks "Magic Makers" has put out in the past, So if you love all those decks you will love this one too. The Yellow on Black color combination really does "pop" visually. The "Clubs" and "Spades" have yellow pips and the "Hearts" and "Diamonds" white pips. The court cards have a yellow, white and blue combination. Of course the "Ace of Spades" features the signature "Scorpion". A nice twist in this deck for performers, The deck comes with 52 standard cards and 4 extra gaff cards as well as instructions on ticks that can be performed with the gaff cards. Every little extra helps in my book. I was hoping for a double backer though, out of luck this time no double backer. But plenty of "tricked out" Scorpion stuff. So if you are a Performer you will want this deck. If you are a Collector hell you will want this just for the box alone. If you know anyone that has a Scorpion Tattoo and you can never find them the perfect gift, then its a lucky day for you both.
