Hey guys,
This is my first serious topic ...anyway to the point.Have you seen the "new" Ellusionist's deck,blain's split spades?What's your opinion about it?

Thanks,
Mike.

I'm not sure what I think about them. They certainly have a nice look to them, and I believe they're essentially a redesigned Tally-Ho deck (which means they're probably excellent quality).

I don't much care for the joker designs, but that's because I tend to perform with effects that have two identical jokers in them. This deck (unless I buy multiples) won't allow for that. The "liar" one could be cool for a lie detector effect, though.

I'm probably going to get some soon, so if and when that happens, I'll do a quick review for you and the rest of the gang.

i think that they are cool but on the computer they look different but in real life they are pretty cool

p.s if you want to see they davenports and internatioal magic may have an open pack

If enough people ask, I could photograph them and put them on the NUMS gallery... they are MIGHTY fine cards, by the way

I love these cards. I will definitely be buying more of them. I also think its cool that, well, did anybody else notice that the face of the King of Spades is Blaines face? Also it includes the Queen of Spades that is holding the 4 of spades he used in his Drowining Alive special. This deck is incredible.

I bought 3 decks of these when they came out. They feel very nice and look very cool too. The backs are very detailed when you look close, and there are several little bits in the deck that make it individual. For example, on the split spades joker, in very fine print you can read the words 'saved' and 'drowned'. Also there are two cards that look like a face one way, but say Liar when you turn them the other way.

The best feature in my opinion is the King of Spades which has been redesigned to look like david Blaine, as well as the Queen of Spades and another card which i have forgotten, which have been designed to look like 2 other women, guessed to be his girlfriend and mother.

The cards feel like and ordinary Tally Ho deck as they are slightly thicker than normal bikes. I got the black ones too but only 1 deck of these as i just wanted to add it too my collection! Both decks look cool regardless of colour.
