These are not the Original Grifter coins. They are much thicker and very difficult to soften without turning them i to just metal disks. This is not 53 Kards fault its Murphys Magic.
A true classic in card magic texts. Thanks for making the ebook version available!
One of the first magic books I ever read. Great to revisit it after so many years.
It came cracked down the middle it was super easy to get a refund though
My favorite rank-and-file are probably the Cherry Casinos, and those Sands Mirage cards are probably my all-time favorites.
But.
Something about these NOCL's, they spring just as far as my other decks, but they're much quieter, much smoother. And I was afraid all the foil was just on the box (which has happened a couple times to me here), but the backs are foiled just like I like, and in very pleasant shades.
I have the full RGB set and I love them enough that I'm probably going to buy one more of each, to have a backup full set because I'm a normal, non-crazy person.
Got them as a gift for someone and they loved it, designs are beautiful and just overall great!
Got in the hobby about 2 years ago and have spent embarrassing amounts on cards. Over that time, Cherry Casinos have become my favorite 'footsoldier' cards (that is, the look great, feel great, and are inexpensive so when my bonehead friends damage/lose them during cards night, it's no big deal). These Sands Mirages are my absolute favorites, tho, the first foils I found that TRULY refract light that hits them, giving you a rainbow show. It's magnificent.
The NOC Luxury cards *PROBABLY* edge them out for raw feel. I can spring NOCLs wicked far with barely any tension (or noise!). But the variety of the light bending combined with the sleek silver back highlighted with the bright red cherry graphics; I *ADORE* these cards. I have two packs (cardistry, backup), and I intend to get four more as game night decks (the 'fine china' of my game decks). Altho if I do that, I'm gonna get a shuffling machine because I trust no one not to deface them lol.
I’m a beginner to learning magic card tricks and I ordered the Svengali deck because of all of the reviews I kept seeing about it. I’ve had the deck for about a week now and it gets the greatest reactions from people lol. I’ll definitely be ordering more magic decks but I am so glad I bought this one first!
Fingertip is too small for my finger size maybe you should also give different tip size ? I would pay for that.
I thought the teaching and instructions on how to build and use the gimmick was clear and concise
Cold case is a high quality product but the teaching by Greg Williams is outstanding.
I am not a professional magician, my middle name is talent. Unfortunately my first name is NO. However, Greg's instructions and drill are so clear he has helped me change my 1st name from NO to KNOW.
Bought these for the back design and to see what TPCC stock was like. Very happy with the cards. Great graphics with a premium feeling stock. Graphics are subdued/classic enough to be used for poker/blackjack in my opinion. Cards are definitely on slippery side. Might buy a second pack just to have. Tuck case is nice too.
When you look at the box, the first thing you’ll think (besides it being a cool looking box) is “Really? This is 35 dollars? For what?” Then you’ll watch the tutorial and wonder “Really? This is ONLY $35?” Kim Andersen is an incredibly thorough teacher that gives you an amazingly creative routine with so many possibilities. Only downside is that it is a right handed tutorial, which is a huge part of this routine. This is amazing, drop everything and get this know.
