I would never use these to play with, it's too difficult to see the suit under the font used.

However, I would like to add these to my collection, I think the designs on the female courts are great.

I don't know whether to like these or to dislike them...

I love the joker that's just the skull & the other joker is alright.
I guess the pips are OK, although I would never use these for a game of cards or a performance.
I don't like the royas or the box design at all. WAYYY too cheesy for me.

Not big on Mentalism but I've heard Confessions of a Conjuror by Derren Brown is a good book. Also, you could try out some mind reading/marked decks to perform some Mentalism. The Code by Andy Nyman has got rave reviews. Rich Fergusons Ice breaker deck is pretty good too.

Thank-you very much! I've been planning to purchase the code for some time, it looks really good.

There was also a strange effect he had where he could make the word being guessed appear on the subject's body, usually an arm.  That should also be selling at E.

Thanks! Do you have any idea what that was called?

When I had only just got in to playing cards, I was watching a lot of deck reviews. I was actually searching Google for the worst decks of playing cards and I found a video by Alex detailing his least favourite decks. Right at the start there was a link to the discourse so I followed it & arrived here.

I quite like these, but I'm not sure about the faded-out version of the back behind each card face.

These remind me of divine...

itv player can't be watched outside of UK

What about proxies?
I use them to get on to America-only stuff so people not living in the UK should be able to get on to ITV player with them.
A good (easy to use) one is HideMyAss.

Edit: Forgot to say, they are legal (Unlike Pirate Bay)

And now www.the-con-artist.com hasn't even bothered to renew their domain name for this year.

This deck looks set to break records! [/sarcasm]

That's really weird. However, if the cards are fine, I don't think you can. And somehow I can't see many people opening theirs.

What about the white & purple LTD. cards by Ellusionist?

Hi there! 

My name's Tomas & I'm from East Sussex, England.
I've quite recently started collecting cards & I've learnt a bit of card magic, mostly through Youtube stuff.
I got interested in cards after I was searching Google for "What is the best set of cards for magicians?" and found a link to the Black Ghost deck. I then discovered that there are (shock horror) more designs of playing cards than the ones I got for £0.99 from my local shop.
I found out about the forum through http://www.youtube.com/user/deckmastercards/.
