I was wondering if anybody knows what this deck is called. I'm a big fan of using plastic/transparent cards for playing card games when I'm at coffee with friends and I've never seen this deck before. It looks very different than the ones Bicycle put out? Any help would be appreciated thanks!!

Also I figured this thread could be used for the same questions people have about other decks.

These actually look pretty cool. But if every suit is cut to reflect that particular suit...would make the deck nothing more than a "check this deck out" deck.
-
I've never seen them but they look cool! ???
-
They aren't cut out like each suite. That is the style for the whole deck.
-
Well, if that is the case...this is one of the better designed plastic novelty decks I've seen. Nice find

Do you have the pics of the back?

Exactly!! haha they really do look nice for a deck that I would use just to play games with. I also like the plastic decks because the cards don't get bent or moisture damage or anything.

one card got bent out out of my bicycle prestige deck :( now i know where the five of spades is all the time lol. the card crimped right in the middle; its quite annoying.

If you use that deck only for magic, remove the card. It most likely won't effect anything (unless there is a full deck stack or a mathematical trick involving the whole deck) and if you ever tell someone to think of a card, and they say "Five of Spades" you can hand them the deck and show them it isn't there, and I guarantee they will be floored.

So I've still been looking around for this deck, and I thought with all the new members I might be able to get some info from somebody who knows about this deck. So I'm giving this thread a little bump in hopes of finding a place to buy this deck or just to figure out what this deck is!!
Thanks!

very nice cards .. but sadly i dun know what the cards are
-
The sad faces on the court cards suggest they were made in Hong Kong or China proper (not Taiwan). Other than that I can't tell from that photo. I have found that it is very difficult to put transparent cards into play. They tend to make the brain work too much to differentiate the individual cards in a hand. Penhaps it's true, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks!"
-
@brown_bagg, are you sure it's a "deck"? It seems to me that every card has some thickness and it consists of 2 layers.
@jriffel, I did little search and found Taiwan has only cartoon style transparent cards :mindf-ck: :mindf-ck:
