I purchased this with my own money - but that is not the definition of "bias."

A vivid and evocative casino-style deck, SHARKS V2 is the latest creative collaboration between British magician DMC and magic designer Phill Smith. As the creative alliance behind the now world-famous and award-winning ELITES playing cards, this latest unmarked creation harks back to the first ever deck created by the pair, the SHARKS V1.

Originally produced as an on-screen character deck for DMC's first National Geographic television special, 'CARDSHARK' (2012), the first edition of SHARKS has since become incredibly sought after by card collectors worldwide.

As the two continue today to produce many tens of thousands of decks that are used by some of the most influential names in magic, the SHARKS V1 was the project that started it all - with an initial print run of just 500 units. SHARKS V2 have been designed for the more discerning card worker looking for a timelessly elegant design for their performances, produced by USPCC on their finest stock and with special embossing and silver foiling details on the tuck case.
