This is not my first purchase and I rarely leave a review.
If you are on the journey to learn sleights and routines with cards, 52 is SUPERIOR to ALL for education and the greatest decks (I use all the big magic shops) Why? Service, the quality, and the price.
52 has cources on various levels of card magic everyone should take plus a mountain of free tutorials on the site, on card slights and routines..All are incredible tutorials, mostly done by Asad but many other Huge inside underground names in card work that most well known magicians with cards, unapologetically learn from!
Enough said….believe me or not, for cards, tutorials, and a ton of free sh@%.
Got into cardistry a couple years back, and with the possible exception of my holofoil cherry casino sands mirage deck, these are my absolute favorites. I have two of each of the three Memento Mori decks; I absolutely adore the design, I love the polygonal/voxel design on the face cards, I absolutely love the skulls (which come in a variety of orientations and color palettes, between the three decks), and of all the options, the sunset palette of Genesis specifically lives in my heart.
They handle like a dream, too; maybe a *little* softer than your usual cardstock, but they pass my test: can the deck spring, dribble, and farro easily? Hard yes with these guys.
Yes that pun was intended. These cards look awesome and feel really smooth. The only downside IMO is they feel lighter/cheaper in the hands versus the MINT collection of decks.
Super fun for being able to practice. Really allows me to better evaluate angles. Having an additional card mat has been huge as well!
Short but informative tutorial, high-quality loop string, super strong reactions.
Like the other reviews, I recommend getting at least two copies, that will last you more than a month.
Un deck confortable à l'esthétique travaillé qui mérite ses 5 étoiles.
I loved the design, being a piano player it's really fun to have cards that represent my talent
These are smooth, clean, and look so good. Purple is wifey's favorite color. Plus you can feel the marked backs secret and clean up your buddies at the table (no stakes of course lol)
The box is beautiful and unique. It has foil embellishments and cut-outs which reveal the gilded edging of a gorgeous deck of cards. The actual cards are sturdy and easy to shuffle and handle. Marvelous visuals with these cards!
Easy to read, hard to spot. Gorgeous box and card design. I use marked decks in my classroom as pattern finding puzzles for my students and this is my new favorite edition!
Just bought my 3rd pack - the best all round brand of playing cards for cardistry or card sleight of hand. Just the right amount of snap and glide, hard wearing, not too thick and not too thin. Bonus is the marking system, but you do need to practice reading that if you want to be able to read them quickly and easily. I also prefer playing cards which lean towards 'classic' faces. Excellent card case too.
He isn't kidding, OMG in less than 30 seconds. This is SO simple, my 6 year old cousin did it FIRST TRY (ok no he didnt but he definitely could). The gimmick is so easily able to be gotten rid of, the tutorial videos are shot super well, and this is MORE than worth it. The trailer video here is *slightly* misleading, but so is every one you'll see. My go-to, my goat too.
Upon receiving the Demi Deck and watching the video tutorial, I immediately put the gimmick to practice by performing the trick on my wife. She was completely stunned.
Excellent card quality with all the necessary information included. The box was even inside a second box for extra "flare" - love it!
I love how these cards feel and handle. But i just noticed that the cards are offset. The margin in the top is different from the bottom on some cards. I only mention this because its quite noticable. Otherwise great cards!
