Hi Everyone!
I'm new to the forum, but I used to have quite a reputation on Youtube as a deck reviewer in the early days. I've made a comeback and I wanted to share my youtube video review. I hope you guys like it, and I'm always welcoming feedback.
Text Review:
This deck is from late 2011, put out by Diamond Jim Tyler, a local Dallas Magician. He created it to make a joke about the predicted 2012 Mayan Prediction of End Times. Thankfully for us, it didn't come to pass.
The deck is printed on robust stock (bee?). It has a very subtle one way deck design and custom Jokers and Ace.
I've had my review copy since it came out in 2011 and it's held up extremely well, handles like you'd expect a bicycle deck. The stock seems a bit thicker to me than standard bikes on the market today, maybe large volume printing of bicycle decks mean they sacrifice on quality a little bit. ( No Kidding)
These were a fun "fad" deck that sold out pretty quickly and was great for routines during the time, though they lose some of their immediate novelty they are still a fantastic deck with great detail in the back design and the use of sugar skull imagery throughout the design would be great for Dia de Los Muertos.
