I'm enjoying the deck a lot - will try to post photos tomorrow, minus the gaffs, naturally!
It's great to flourish - it has Magic Finish, right?
The artwork is gorgeous. It's far better than I thought it would be when seen in person. Collectors will love this deck.
Magicians can have a lot of fun with it, though you have to be careful about performing inverted-card tricks.
My only negative about the deck is that it's not as easy to use for simple card play. The gold-for-black index pips look better than I thought, but the indices are really long, and the court cards have even longer index letters and don't have a pip in the index, but next to it instead. In a card spread, you'd be giving away the fact that you're holding court cards by how spread out your cards are, unless you got crafty and spread them wide for all your cards, but that makes you more vulnerable to flashing your cards.
They may be still new out of the box, but I'd rank these cards very high. I'm still looking forward to following the QR code and watching the video with the story of the deck as well as the trick. I'd say that as much as I like the Gargoyles, these are actually more artful and beautiful. And I really like the stock, too - what did you use, Lance?
