Funded in less than 12 hours!
-100% Hand Drawn Cards
-100+ Hours of artwork alone
-Absolutely Beautiful back design
-Custom card faces and courts with intricate details
-Ambigram Logo(reads "Red Fox" even when upside down)
-A never before done marking system! Every deck comes with custom red decoder glasses to learn the markings. Like training wheels they are no longer needed once you know where to look, you simply read it with the naked eye. We have field tested these and even when told, people cannot find the markings. After they view it with the glasses, it's like a Eurika moment and they are reading them in no time without the glasses.
-A never before done tuck case that can be used to create a 9-tuck puzzle that creates a unique picture
-Wonderful review by Richard Bellars: Penn and Teller FOOLER

-Raving review by Richard Bellars: Penn and Teller FOOLER
You should consider rephrasing that sentence going forward, Marvin...
rave /rāv/ verb
1. talk wildly or incoherently, as if one were delirious or insane; address someone in an angry, uncontrolled way.
2. speak or write about someone or something with great enthusiasm or admiration.
3. INFORMAL: attend or take part in a rave (party).
"Rave" works fine as a good, positive description, using the second definition, as in "Rave review by Richard Bellars."
"Raving," on the other hand - not quite as good, in terms of how it's used, especially in the adjective form, which you are using.
rav·ing /ˈrāviNG/ noun; plural noun: ravings
wild, irrational, or incoherent talk.
INFORMAL adjective: raving
used to emphasize the bad or extreme quality of someone or something.
While it's not impossible to see it as being a positive thing, "raving review" would more often be thought of as an example of a reviewer that is raving, as in speaking like a crazy person. Have you ever heard the expression "stark raving mad" as a way of saying "insane?" A "raving review" wouldn't necessarily be a good thing and would almost certainly reflect poorly on the reviewer, if not the object being reviewed as well. At least, that's how it's more commonly used in American English...
