The animation looks great! Obviously not exactly practical for magic, nor is it going to be fun to put the cards in order every time. This is a collector's piece for sure. Very fun. :)

I must know, is it 7 or 8 perfect riffle shuffles that get a deck in the same order, you will need to do that for this deck.

 The animation does look cool,but like all animated decks it must be kept in the right order. There something you might show people once, they can be used in magic as long as your not worried about the animation,but if your spectator has a sharp eye,then they will look some what like a marked deck. Definately more of a collector deck IMHO.

It'd be cool if someone could memorize every single card back.

They don't have memorize all the card backs. I do close-up restaurant work and believe me there are some very sharp people who watch your every move,all it takes is for them to notice that one back is slightly different than the other, I'm not saying it will happen everytime,but it could and as a magician,I don't want to give them that option, just my opinion.

That's why I hate the back designs. I just think it would be funny if a magician memorized EVERY back of the card and what card it is.

I'm sure it is possible to certain degrees, but there are decks on the market specifically designed to be marked. If you want an example of a beautifully marked deck check out Alan Paoletti's Apex Bom deck. I love that thing.

I don'y want a marked deck, i just think it'd be funny if someone took the time to do so.

I don't think this should be called a mark deck because it's not read by magician only. Everyone could notice the different backs.

Just because its a marked deck does not mean its for magicians, I know gamblers who use them. I have one marked deck (found that out after I bought it) and soon as I did a trick the guy saw it. took me 20 mins with instruction he took one glance and found it. also it made me mad cause he was older and i thought he would not see it.

the "same" order. so if u open up a deck and perfectly riffle or faro a deck 8 times (or whatever the number is) the deck will be in the original order that u started shuffling.
