Victory by J&T
Drops at CC. Smooth Finish deck from J&T. That might be interesting.

Re: Victory by J&T
James posted a performance video of David Buck doing sleights with what undoubtably is the new deck from J&T.
It'll be a full bleed black back featuring a gold metallic ink repeating logo pattern and seems to feature the handdrawn/woodcut style courts from Pedro Oyarbide, which we know from the HappySad deck. Gold metallic ink on the faces as well.

Re: Victory by J&T
The limited on the tuck is a tad stupid coming from a brand that reprinted almost all of their designs multiple times (which I endorse, because fok limited). Other than that it looks yummy.

Tuck box gives me an AoP Antlers vibe.

Yes, I agree. Very much so. Not that it's a bad look for me. I'm still in.
I haven't slept for ten days, because that would be too long.

Re: Victory by J&T
i am not a big fan of repeating pattern backs like that but they do match that tuck rather nicely.

Re: Victory by J&T
They're front (older pic) and back (latest pic) of the same tuck, just to clarify.
I like full bleed repeating pattern backs. While not bad, this one doesn't excite me though. Still a definite grab for me, due to tuck box, courts and ivory finish, if they're not too expensive.

Re: Victory by J&T
the tuck is superb for sure. although these courts definitely have a JT style, in my book, they are basically standard. along with the casino style repeating pattern back, i didnt go out of my way to get these.

Re: Victory by J&T
I'm curious how those who don't like these kinds of backs see them. Maybe it's because I'm a card magic guy and false deals look more convincing (at least for those who are shitty like me) with full bleeds, but I've always found these patterns endearing.STLBluesNut wrote: βMon Aug 14, 2023 8:37 am [...] along with the casino style repeating pattern back, i didnt go out of my way to get these.

Re: Victory by J&T
Itβs a mixed bag - you can use them for anything, but if the trick is double or triple lift heavy - especially for a packet trick - it can be a burden that I wonβt bear, even after I have gone through the trouble of making a gaff card for the occasion (hummingbirds deck, 4 aces trick, not well thought out)
Still, my favorite market decks are borderless and I will use a borderless deck even with a lift - I just wouldnβt stick myself with that unless it was for a meaningful benefit due to the extra flash ability
Just one less thing to think about really, a little safety net for a slip of the hand - Iβm sure that I can double lift well enough to not flash but that four aces bit is just one after another, and Iβm gettin oldβ¦

Re: Victory by J&T
Okok yeah I get it from a magic point of view. Myself, I've matured into more of a gambling sleight of hand sort of guy, a mechanic so to speak. For lack of a better term, the dude who you wouldn't want to play cards with.
Shameless flash of a small but valued piece of my card magic books.
Most of the time, my hands are together when I execute a sleight, so I always have one or the other to provide cover. I do table riffles, cops, palms, steals, deals, strips, cuts, etc. For my purposes, the borders are not all that necessary. When I perform with a standard deck, it's almost always Bees.

Re: Victory by J&T
I am not into magic at all - I just collect these little paintings called cards. You have a reason for buying this deck, I now try and control my impulses and only buy what I love. This includes simple and patterned backs - I am after all Honeybee. I think Victory is a nice deck, just not one that I have to havePiazzaDelivery wrote: βMon Aug 14, 2023 4:51 pmI'm curious how those who don't like these kinds of backs see them.

I bought this deck just for the box. I haven't seen a better box in the past few years. Well done!

Re: Victory by J&T
certainly a decent decision but i have been trying to stray away from doing that myself in the past couple of years lol. the tuck is very good.
