As promised here is the plastic Karnival

"Karnival Death Heads - Armour Edition went into manufacture today. Made of 100% plastic they are NAILS. This deck is tougher than Chuck Norris, Sly Stallone and Randy Couture encased in a concrete slab which has then been forged into a skull crushing hammer. They LAUGH at your sweaty hands. They JEER at that puddle of beer. They smash the face of girlie Bikes. Coming soon beetches."

Right so my opinion on BBM decks is no secret, especially as of late.

Yikes.

I'm curious enough to pick up a deck. Never had plastic cards. I don't appreciate being called a beeatch but I'll let it slide. Everybody gets one.

Forget that mess...I have a deck of Bicycle Prestige...that is about as far into the plastic deck world as I care to get.

Family guy reference?

Anyway, Bicycle Prestige decks are some of the best plastic decks out there, same with KEM decks, and they are all cheaper and can actually be used for Poker (no clue why anyone would make a pure one-way design on a deck...ever).

On top of that, plastic cards are horrible for magic & flourishing. Some of them smell absolutely horrifying too like my Modiano deck.

I love my Bicycle Prestige deck! Definitely the best plastic deck out there. That deck looks terrible though, 1 way back and its just a terrible lazy design in my opinion.

I use my prestige for poker and poker only. other than that plastics have no place in the collector's world. IMO

I'm sick of decks with skulls and death. I'm generally a happy-go-lucky person, and cards like that don't fit in mine, or any other magicians hands...

...unless you are Dan Sperry.

I don't tend to like plastic cards, but I use the karnival dead eyes a lot therefore, I will definitely pick up at least one deck

Karnival Dead Eyes aren't plastic

Something about Dan Sperry is just awesome though.

Thanks for sharing Brandon, I think I'll pass though, I only have the 1st ed Karnivals and never had the urge to buy anymore from them, too many skulls and what not.

phantom1412 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 21, 2011, 04:05:52 AM »

Yeah, I'll pass.
It doesn't look good at all, and it's one way back

sinsandman · « **Reply #15 on:** October 21, 2011, 05:09:41 AM »

I'm cool with skulls as a couple of you know from my tattoos, but this whole line is just overkill

Exactly. Dan Sperry is the one exception.

skulls! Skulls! SKULLS!

Anyone surprised?

Evan · « **Reply #19 on:** December 05, 2011, 06:50:34 AM »

Definitely not surprised.
I'll pass on these too. Maybe my local magic shop will get them and I'll pick one up to do a review. But I really don't like that design.

phantom1412 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 05, 2011, 07:54:40 AM »

No surprise at all. I'm not fan of the skull backed cards.

Evan · « **Reply #21 on:** December 05, 2011, 03:10:56 PM »

Without the skulls, the design could be a very nice one! It'd need some work but if they didn't use those skulls, more people may be interested in it. BBM should try an elegant design... not skulls and stuff like that

Kanped · « **Reply #22 on:** December 05, 2011, 03:15:33 PM »

Skulls are just kinda BBM's thing. It'd be weird for them to make a deck without skulls now. I'll be getting a deck of these just to see. One deck only.

MrLukeCarroll · « **Reply #23 on:** December 05, 2011, 05:19:35 PM »

I'm a poker player so I've got quite a few plastic decks of cards for that sole reason, but I won't be picking these ones up. They don't look that good and the one way back isn't that good.

Lushbob · « **Reply #24 on:** December 05, 2011, 06:51:50 PM »

I think I'll just be picking up a deck of these to see them, like Kanped. And I haven't handled plastic cards before. I might even like them, who knows?
