I just got in a couple of the new Elites and cracked one open - Nice! They even faro well right out of the box, actually much better than some new faro trick I just bought.

Showed these to a few guys at LADs, not one could find the marks without them being pointed out and yet in a dimly lit nando's I could read the marks from a good 15 feet away even without my glasses. I can't read a Boris Wild or Ted Lesley deck 6 inches away in a brightly lit room without my glasses. With that kind of performance I would still use them if the Kings were mooning and giving the bird .. Hmm I may even pay extra for those kings!!

"Fancy a game of crib?" enquires my son, picking up the DMCs. Followed by, "are these normal?" He only asks as he's aware of how many gaffed cards I have. What could I do? Said nowt, won some, lost some. At one point he says, " Wow, the backs of these are trippy" Did he see the marks? Not a chance, and now he knows they're 'normal', I can have some fun.........

I couldn't care less about the design of the Kings, and have no interest in purchasing replacement "normal" cards.
I love this deck and have just ordered four more. Thanks Phill and DMC. |

Fire Starter: The Elites are the exact same deck as the Black Golds, just printed on cardistry grade stock. They are essentially a reprint from when the original Black Golds sold out - we just decided to go to a higher quality stock (basically closer to Bikes) so people would be happier using them as their daily deck. If you are interested in buying multiples check out http://www.sovereignplayingcards.com for the discount.

Yes they are fantastic. I recently showed them at my lecture to the Bolton Magicians Club and they sold out. I even showed them the famous Kings but they were more focused on the fact that the deck was soooo easy to read and get invisible to the untrained eye.

I'm not deriding anybody for wanting anything. People want what they want and sometimes they get it and sometimes they don't. I'm simply saying these cards are what they are and as they do the job I need them to do in a spectacular fashion I will use them regardless of any opinion I may have on the kings.

Just fried my daughter's boyfriend I gave him the cards he stated straight away,AH new cards ,not your regular one's so what's the catch with these?,i said well check em out,now't wrong with them just fancy a new deck design and they are very nice out of the box,so he looked them up and down close up and bright light on,NOT A THING,so went into a little mind reading and he is scrathing his head now,i said stop ,your hair is going to fall out,lol,these cards Rock and I do not give a dam what the kings look like,could just take em out if they are not liked and say they have been picked and signed,no sweat.

It's a ratio of 2:50 that the offending cards would even be picked if left among the deck. They certainly wouldn't notice the absence of those 2 cards if removed from the deck before hand, unless you're doing something explicitly with the Kings. The possibilities and the workings of this deck for me far outweigh the 'odd kings' in this deck. I've never personally had any issue with them, and if I did, I'd just remove them. I'd be both amazed and impressed if a spectator asks all of a sudden why theres no red kings. Hell, even if that happens, have a prediction out in your pocket or something for such an ocassion. Rather than see them purely as a limitation and discard what is otherwise a fantastic deck, think around the issue a little! There's no need to resort to a batch of 'normal kings' (a mere 2 cards) having to be printed. Unless anyone here is truly planning to jump from using Bike/Phoenix as their main brand to DMC for all things card related, you can easily work around those cards for those times when you are using the DMC deck! |
