Deck Reviews! / [VID] deck review - GOLD Gatorbacks by David Blaine
« on: September 04, 2018, 07:24:48 AM »
Wow.. it's been 2.5 years since I've uploaded a deck review! Went through a big life change... having sold my house/car/etc, quit my job, and backpacking around Europe. Anyway... now I'm excited to back making YouTube videos!  :D

This deck review is for the GOLD Gatorbacks by David Blaine. Spoiler alert: I really like them and am impressed by the MetalLuxe foil. It looks great and doesn't interfere with the handling.

By the way... the "cards in action" sequence on this video (about 2/3 of the way into the video) is I think my best version yet! (Essentially it's just me trying to show off with card moves.)

Here it is ----> https://youtu.be/E88S9h631rc

Let me know what you think!

My review for the Requiem deck by Lorenzo Gaggiotti.  The meaning behind the creation of this deck is interesting to say the least.

Deck Reviews! / [VID] Americana deck
« on: December 25, 2013, 07:02:58 PM »
Yeah I know this one came out last year sometime.... but it was actually the first deck I had planned on reviewing for my YouTube channel.  I got side tracked but figured I would come back around for this one.  I like these playing cards quite well.  The colors really jump out.

Here 'tis:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPFt776_PJc

PS.  Merry Christmas.

Deck Reviews! / [VID] Ellusionist Pressers
« on: December 13, 2013, 01:20:53 AM »
Just uploaded a video review for the Pressers deck released by Ellusionist last week.  (I got mine in the mail tonight.)

This deck seems to be a departure from the norm for Ellusionist.  I like the color & design of the card backs, but I'm not a giant fan of the court cards pictures..... which remind of a comic book.  I couldn't picture doing magic tricks with this deck or playing cards for money with them either.  That's just my two cents.

Here 'tis:

A deck from Jackson Robinson (King's Wild Project), funded on KickStarter. 
I should be asleep right now.  Here is my review.

It's the first of his US currency & bank notes themed decks of playing cards.

Deck Reviews! / [VID] Madison Dealers - Ellusionist
« on: July 02, 2013, 01:23:52 AM »
This is a deck review for the Madison Dealers deck, produced by Ellusionist and Daniel Madison.  This is the third deck in the Madison series of playing cards.  The card stock feels nice and the back design looks cool.  These are borderless cards, so probably more suited toward gambling routines and card mechanic work.  I like them, but I probably won't use them a whole lot since they don't look especially good in card fans.  The deck also has several special features, which I talk about in more detail in the video.

PS.  I wish I could put music in these videos.... but then I'll risk YouTube either A) removing my video or B) slapping some advertisements on the video.  First world problems...

Here is the video:

Deck Reviews! / [VID] Madison Rounders - Ellusionist
« on: July 01, 2013, 02:04:03 PM »
Here is my review for the Madison Rounders sold at Ellusionist and created by Daniel Madison.  I like the deck and don't really have any problems with it.  I did notice that with the thin borders and black background combination, if your fans have any deficiencies in them, they will be readily apparent.  Seems like a good deck though.  Feels good and looks good.

Feel free to comment here or on the YouTube video.

PS.  I hope to be uploading a follow-up review... for the Madison Dealers tonight. 
(Just wanted to do them in chronological order.)

Deck Reviews! / [VID] Executive Deck - Ellusionist
« on: May 16, 2013, 02:15:35 AM »
Here's a video review with my thoughts on the Executive Deck by Ellusionist.
The card stock is pretty good - not the best ever, nor the worst.  The design is interesting/different.

ADDITIONALLY.... I tried using a GoPro camera for a couple of the shots to get some slow-mo footage.  It was attached to my head.

Feel free to comment and let me know what you think...
** I recommend selecting the HD Quality video and watching it full screen.   8-)

Here's a video review with my thoughts on the Fontaine deck by Zach Mueller.
I really like the card stock of this deck -- it feels substantial. Both springs and fans feel nice.

Let me know what you think..
