UnitedCardists.com - The forum for Cardistry, Magic, Custom Decks and All Things Playing Cards.

Hello all,

I've gotten into the world of magic primarily, recently (at the ripe old age of 49). It's something I can practice a bit while taking care of a toddler (double lifts, shuffles, etc) as opposed to my larger projects. I'm also a huge RPGer and board gamer.

Probably my Top 5 current favorite decks are:

1) Gentleman Gold by Gambler's Warehouse (seems to be overlooked - hardly any reviews online, but I love the elegance of the courts and backs),
2) Tally-Ho 9's for performing (I like the handling better than Bicycles),
3) Luminosity KSX (Aesthetically I love these)
4) Heretic Lux (See #3 - maybe even more so)
5) Rarebit Gold (particularly because they make a specific trick I've been practicing much easier than most of my other decks, plus I love the whole look and feel)

Honorable mentions: Osiris, Pagan, Artisans (Black and White), Aquila Limited edition, Jaqk Amethyst, Tally-Ho Olive, Tally-Ho Pearl, Lux Aurora, Marchen Schwarzwald

I have a lot of other decks I like a lot, but the ones listed above are ones I really can't find a complaint about.

Welcome aboard!

Sorry for the delay in approving your post. Holidays, and all.

We look forward to seeing you around as 2020 gets underway!

Welcome at UC.

You have great taste! I am still drooling over my Luminosity set

Welcome to UC and hopefully you find some useful conversation around these parts

Welcome. Heretic is probably one of my favorite all time decks.

If you like the 20's vibe decks, you should check out some decks designed by Kevin Cantrell. I think his art is particularly well suited to this era. Some of his recent releases include Tom's Town, Tavern on the Green, Standards (this one is Victorian era though). I can't wait to see what Kevin comes up with The Gentleman Wake for TGW's next deck release. https://kevincantrell.com/

Thanks everyone! I've totally become addicted, but fortunately (for my wallet) I'm now slowing down a bit. The key is not to explore on ebay... Stuff pops up related to what you're looking at, you discover whole new distributors/producers of card decks, and boom, wallet gets thinner.

I love Tallys! Circle backs, at least

I'm also a huge boardgamer & dig RPGs too

Welcome aboard!

Welcome to UC, Gamble, aka the guy that Joker says "why so serious?" to.
