Hello ,


Just wondering what you think about the criss angel cards from his website. I love mine for the sake of novelty.


Thanks,

Jacob (JBetts97)

While they may be decent looking cards, I think there are so many others that look even better.

However - beyond a novelty point, there is a strong portion of us that feel normal common bicycle backs are the way to go - people know them and feel comfortable with them.

Novelty decks are great for magician to magician work - but many laypeople look at them odd as if they expect them to be marked or gimmicked.

The new Karnival decks are a killer looking design - check out our site if you havent seen them yet... but as for using them for layperson... I dunno...

Some people say its ok... Im one of the guys that like normal bikes.

I picked up a deck from his store when I was in Vegas a few weeks ago. I have yet to take them out of the box. I got them for a collectors item more than anything.

Though it may sound petty, I was kinda disappointed with the quality of the box they came in.

Hey Mark, let's do that new mentalism routine. Now nothing has been pre-arranged between us, seriously, but somehow, I am willing to communicate my thoughts on Criss Angel backed cards to mmreed and he will give you my opinion...................

Who's mark?

Thanks

I predict Pepka will say .. hey wait... I cant. The darn profanity filter wont let me say they are %^@)($&% worthless. However, without wonderful decks like these, Pepkas couch would lean to the left.

I know a lot of guys collect deck designs... which is fine - its a hobby.. like collecting baseball cards or whatever... but as for magic - I think it is best to stick with normal bikes unless you are using a specific design for a specific theme. For example, I use a Pirate themed deck and design for a Sea Gypsy Curse routine.

LOL! Yup, sounds like Pepka.

Amazing! Eat your heart out Max Maven!

When Criss Angel starts using playing cards with MY name and eyes on the back, then I might consider returning him the favor.

Hey Pepka - now that the soaf is balanced, they coudl always make great coasters!!!

True story of my own >>> The tiger deck makes a GREAT ice scraper. hahaha

Forget the Criss Angel decks. Get yourself some traditionally cut Bikes. Those will get you laid.

Red or Blue backed??

...ask Pepka's monkey.

I collect different things from magi's also, post cards, ect... I think it's great way to remeber your adventures by. I just bought cone-tact from Aldo Colombini 1/05/09 and had him sign the back cover sheet, and dang, I have misplaced it all ready, if you find it please send it back too me. I have the 6 page routine still. It's great. Owln_1

These cards are at all the dollar stores and selling out. I bought one and they are extremely poor quality. Not even going by Bike standards, they are simply not usable.
