Review
For once a nice deck that's not made by Ellusionist. What drew me to these cards is that the dark look of them kind of appealed.
Yes, there will no doubt be a barrage of responses saying that you should use standard Bikes as the spectator will think they are 'special' cards, which I agree with, but there is also the kind of spectator that expects a magician to have some kind of 'posh' cards.
I prefer to use these kind of cards for darker or occult based effects as it can add to the ambience of the story.
This deck is similar in many ways to the Tiger ones but the difference s that there is, as well as the red pips, colour on the court cards which looks, in my opinion, rather nice.
There are a few gaff cards included which allow you to perform certain effects. These are:
A blank faced card
A DF'er
A card with a red bike case front on it's face
An 'elevator' card which can be used for a Vanishing deck effect
There is also a revelation contained on the case flaps, which can seem crass and obvious if used, but a nice touch is that the gaff cards have the same card on them meaning you could perform a series of effects in a routine using the spectators card. Even the elevator card is the same so you could vanish the whole deck just leaving the specs card.
Overall
Expensive, but nice looking deck which is better value than it would be thanks to the addition of some useful gaff cards.
7/10
