Both decks are a good quality "Bicycle" deck "air cushion finish" both decks come with "jokers"and some extras (see video) These decks were only released in "Japan" the are very hard to find and take a lot of time and extra costs to get here due to the low value of the U.S. dollar, customs and shipping.

If you have one good for you and your collection. I had very few of them to sell and I am now sold out too. I have learned to never say never but I really don't think I will get any more of them again. I am sure that the "Giants"decks with follow the same path and will be gone for good soon, So get them while you can. I do have a limited supply but there are going fast. These two decks are cool, not sexy but cool. As a performer I really don't see much call for these out working.

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

Smoke & Mirror V4 "The Green Deck"

Smoke & Mirror V4 " The Green deck" Well Dan and Dave have done it again but this time they have done it the best! This new version of the "Smoke & Mirror" deck is the best! There are a lot of changes for this one, First of all there is no longer a "Smoke" deck and a "Mirror" deck the two have become one. this S&M v4 deck is "Green" and a dam cool green it is. The deck has a "retro" simplified back design, and was printed with a "Green" metallic ink, this is not that "Foil" Cheesy metallic look i.e. the box of the "Bicycle 125th anniversary decks" This is a "sexy" metallic that gives each card a fantastic "green" shimmer. The court cards are the classic S&M style but of course with the green mixed in. The deck was also crafted on recycled paper. The quality of the deck is "top notch" that should go without saying. If Dan and Dave put there name on something you know that anything less the top quality is not an option. I am so happy to see that this deck is all new, when the S & M "luxury Edition" came out I was very disappointed, Dan and Dave are way to talented to keep putting out the same decks and just change the name, But they did a fantastic job with the V4! As like every deck in the "Smoke and Mirror" line i am sure that this deck will sell out quick, maybe quicker then all the others due to the complete overhaul! so do not delay get your S&M V4 decks today while you still can!

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

Fuchsia, Turquoise Bicycle Playing Cards

Fuchsia, Turquoise Bicycle Playing Cards. I usually don't combine decks in a blog or review but in this case it just works, so here we go. These two decks were made by the United States Playing Card Company for "Vincenzo Di Fatta" of Italy. He is the man who has had most of the "Color" rider back 808 bicycle decks made. There is not much special about the decks, they are standard in every way except the color's and the fact the both decks come with 2 "Black" face cards which does come in handy for performing. The jackpot for these 2 decks comes for the collector's. Until now the only way you could get these 2 decks was if you bought a box set of 8 color decks from "Di Fatta" Which many people did not do because they did not want to spend $80.00 to get 8 decks when the really only wanted 2 of them, not that the other decks do not have value, that is not the case at all. Just that the other 6 decks have been around for a while and most collector's already had them. Well obviously that marketing strategy was poor. Because now he has released the decks individually. I am sure if those box sets were not flying off the shelves or they would not released them now individually. Well anyway this is great news for collector's because now you can buy the decks at a very reasonable price. The people that believed the hype and bought the box set because they were under the impression that was going to be the only way to ever get them, Sorry I never carried the "box set" I thought it was a stupid idea. Regardless these decks are cool and now is the perfect time to add them to your collection.
