This is a deck review for the Madison Dealers deck, produced by Ellusionist and Daniel Madison.  This is the third deck in the Madison series of playing cards.  The card stock feels nice and the back design looks cool.  These are borderless cards, so probably more suited toward gambling routines and card mechanic work.  I like them, but I probably won't use them a whole lot since they don't look especially good in card fans.  The deck also has several special features, which I talk about in more detail in the video.

PS.  I wish I could put music in these videos.... but then I'll risk YouTube either A) removing my video or B) slapping some advertisements on the video.  First world problems...

Here is the video:

You can mention the special features - like "it's marked."  Not a secret.

BTW: it's Old World, New World and Third World.  Not sure where East Asia would fit into it, but Europe/West Asia is Old World, the Americas and Australia are the New World and Africa would be Third World, as well as perhaps some of the relatively new Asian countries.  I guess the older ones would be considered Old World as well, except perhaps Japan, which would also be New World.  In general, the first nations (not mere city-states or regions but actual nations) going back more than a few centuries are Old World, the first wave of European exploration from around the 17th and 18th centuries would be New and the second wave from the 19th and 20th centuries would be Third World.  But really, all of that is based on old colonial thinking - nowadays, we most often hear of "Third World" referring to a country with political, military and/or economic instability (even geographic/meteorological, in cases of nations prone by location to having devastating natural disasters).  Old World and New World are rarely heard outside of a history or social studies class.

But I digress...  :))  Point being, I never hear anyone refer to the "First World".  What exactly do you mean by that?

It's basically an internet thing. People often add #firstworldproblems after sarcastically commenting on something that bothers them, a problem that would only occur with access to developed technologies/by living in an industrialised country. So for example, "Fuck i hate my parents.. they bought me a white iPhone when i wanted a black one!", and "Shit i just got hired! Now i have to wake up early. Fuck my life." #firstworldproblems http://www.quickmeme.com/First-World-Problems/ Some more examples.

Not everything has to be technical Don, you're getting old! :)
Alex, stop fucking with my name you phegget. xx

@Don:  Interesting info on Old World / New World / Third World.  I didn't know some of that, thanks for sharing.

@Froggo:  A good explanation.  :)  Cool website link too.... some funny stuff on there..

@John:  Thank you for the encouragement.  I've had that same feeling you described before as well....  part of why I decided to start making my own videos.  :-P
