Gold Arcane deck review, 13/12/2010

[SuperPaddyz123]

it smells like, it smells like cards.

[Alicaint]

@SuperPaddyz123 I don't like the smell of these cards though.

[SoPawsome]

Nice mat! I'm not being sarcastic. I like it.  :)

[THEAWESOMEKILLA1]

Hi great review but I got 4 questions

1:Is it worthy for $195?

2:is it made outta real gold?

3:how shiny is the gold?

And 4:how good is it 1-10? Rate it pls.

[Alicaint]

@THEAWESOMEKILLA1

1. No.

2. No.

3. Not very.

4. 1 for rarity but that's about it.

[GeekyNerdsUnited]

I bought mine on ebay for 27p on an auction!!!!!! £6.00 shipping, next day delivery. Great Deal!

[louispatten98]

whats the point of 180$ deck when you can get the same finish even nicer for like £8 i mean cmon ...... REALY

[GeekyNerdsUnited]

@louispatten98 two words! = QUANTITY PRODUCED!!!!!!!

[Alicaint]

@louispatten98 Becuase at the time I wanted to be the first person on youtube with a review video of this deck, I was, but I didn't know how bad this finish is. Regardless of what the USPCC tell you this is a different finish and by the way I mean £ not $ so double the amount of money you were thinking of, lol.

[Shampoo8357]

Great video you just cannot pronounce arcane but ah well ;)

[Alicaint]

@Shampoo8357 That's just my accent like. I know it's cane as in sugar cane, lol.

[Shampoo8357]

@Alicaint I gathered that. I have northern relatives so I get used to it. ;)

[MRDYSE13]

whats the switcblade your using.?

[Alicaint]

@MRDYSE13 Just a cheap super-automatic one. I bought it for like 8 euros when I was in Gran Canaria... can't believe I got it past customs like.

[MRDYSE13]

@Alicaint thanks :D

[Jokercardism11]

Just a quick note....... u said black gold arcane deck instead of black arcane deck. u probarly already know that, lol. gr8 vid non the less

[niclgs007]

how do you get one of these in Vancouver or Richmond witout ordering it

[Alicaint]

@niclgs007 Without ordering it? You don't, lol. If you mean you can't buy stuff online I wouldn't know how to help you. Why d'you want the Gold Arcane deck? It's poo.

[TheDuffman321]

i love alicaint's videos and stuff but my favorite thing about him is the fact that he say's arkin not arcane

[greendayfan4100]

whats better the black arcane or the gold arcane if they were the same price

[Alicaint]

@greendayfan4100 Well they're not and never will be but if I was gonna buy another Arcane deck it would be the white one. I know you didn't offer that choice but they're the best looking ones, in my opinion. Out of black and gold however, I'd go with the black... any day of the week.

[greendayfan4100]

@Alicaint thanks

[coolcardsAF]

@Alicaint where can you get them

[Alicaint]

@coolcardsAF Ebay.

[illusionguy919]

how do you feel if one day, your cousin took your golden arcane without you,re knowing it and then use it to take his toy inside your toilet bowl,i would just go to a gun store and by a mp5 and then shoot him

[Alicaint]

@illusionguy919 I wouldn't be that bothered if I'm honest.

[MegaCoasterManiac]

Wait hold on,these suck?

How come?

[Alicaint]

@MegaCoasterManiac The corner pips are too dark, I payed too much (which has nothing to do with the deck itself but it makes me hate it all the more), the finish isn't a UV500 Air- flow finish, the ink isn't actually gold (it's brown), the corners are chapped to name but a few things I can find wrong with this deck. If you can find one for like 10 bucks, by all means, buy it but don't pay as much as people expect you to.

[dynamictrickzz]

how did you pay?

[Alicaint]

@dynamictrickzz Paypal on ebay.

[TheKleavers]

guyz where i can find a cheap arcane gold deck?

[freepostmagic]

@TheKleavers I have for sale. Make me a sensible offer and I will let you know

[Mark24Project]

in my country found them on like 15$, guess who's having one ?

[Alicaint]

@Mark24Project It's probably a fake. There are some out there now.

[Mark24Project]

@Alicaint don't think so, it's a site from where I bought all my cards, so I don't think so it's fake, never got screwed by them ...

[Mark24Project]

@Alicaint snap, they're sold out, they had like 10 decks ...

[TheQuentinSK8]

WANT.

[illusionguy919]

is there really gold in the deck,why is it really expensive.



[Alicaint]

@illusionguy919 No there is none. It's just a really bad brown ink. It's so exspensive because there's only 500 of them and they're way over-hyped.

[greendayfan4100]

@Alicaint is there really only 500 of them. i spent $75 and got it free.

[Alicaint]

@greendayfan4100 5000. That's a typo sorry.

[greendayfan4100]

@Alicaint thanks

[NVOLIKOS]

You dont deserve this...

[Alicaint]

@NVOLIKOS Why do you say that?

[Alicaint]

@JumpingJacks177 Whenever you buy from anywhere outside the UK ALWAYS ask them to tick the gift box and declare then item in the parcel less than £20. This way you'll avoid being charged £40 for shipping and handling.

[cardreviewkid12]

is it worth 180$

[kokomanen]

@cardreviewkid12 Not at all, Buy things that cost over 75 dollars at ellusionist and you will get one for free.

[Alicaint]

@cardreviewkid12 Not even a little bit. I wouldn't even spend $75 to get a free one from Ellsuionist. The first two Arcane decks are far superior to this one.

[echavandres262]

this is a beautiful deck though...

[10lakers10]

very dull video

[Alicaint]

@10lakers10 Let's see your's then, :-P.

[societas56]

You should review the bicycle alchemy 19777 England

[Alicaint]

@societas56 One step ahead of you mate 'cause I've already done one, lol.

[societas56]

How much usd?

[Alicaint]

@SammyHTHfnfit Most dissapointed, yes.

[Alicaint]

@SammyHTHfnfit I payed £180.

[97WWEfan4life]

i wish i had a bicycle deck 10 bucks for a standard deck in my country + five to 15 bucks delivery one deck of standard bikes can cost me 25 bucks but not dollars

[MrMagicbiz]

i found these for 50$

[Alicaint]

@MrMagicbiz What you tellin' me for? Go get 'em boy!

[MrMagicbiz]

@Alicaint sure

[cutiecooly27]

wish i had a deck

[Alicaint]

@cutiecooly27 Trust me you're better of with some Tally-Ho decks or Ghost decks. If it's rare decks you're after go for the White Centurions or the white 1st edition Ghost deck.

[TheShinyPencil4]

amazing deck but not worth it

[Alicaint]

@TheShinyPencil4 100% agreed.

[TheShinyPencil4]

@Alicaint ya great review

the cool thing is though i entered a contest were he is giving away to gold arcanes

[cutiecooly27]

in my country it cost 200$

[Alicaint]

@cutiecooly27 Gutted, lol. I payed twice that.

[97WWEfan4life]

in my country the deck costs 176 bgn thats over 80$

[bicycleluvr]

fuck yea. thumbs up if ur one of the 5000 that has this deck too

[evilmonsterbear711]

today im gonna go to my magic shop and ask" Have Any Gold Arcanes OR Jerrys Nuggets!" And The Person Will Say Fuck No We Dont

[Alicaint]

@evilmonsterbear711 You'd be suprised. My local magic shop has an S&M 1st edition set I just haven't taken enough money in with me to get 'em. MY point is you should ask though, just in case.

[evilmonsterbear711]

@Alicaint well i will check lol  : D

[evilmonsterbear711]

@Alicaint but still jerrys nuggets are one of those super rare sold for 5000 dollars on ebay decks.

[Alicaint]

@evilmonsterbear711 They've never gone for 5000 dollars like, or were you exaggerating? I think a brick went for 2500 though. Don't believe what you hear though 'cause J'Nugs aren't super rare, they're just over-hyped is all.

[evilmonsterbear711]

@Alicaint but also, how much did u buy it for

[Alicaint]

@evilmonsterbear711 I don't have any Jerry's Nugget decks.

[evilmonsterbear711]

@Alicaint im talking about the gold arcane also try to buy a pair of j nugs on leeasher(dot)com

[Alicaint]

@evilmonsterbear711 Oh right, lol. I payed about £180 for it and yeah I regret it.

[sharukh3105]

@cardboy419 on ellusionist website it says you pronounce it ar can not ar cane

[SurfersMovie]

that thing is only 7 dollar

[Alicaint]

@SurfersMovie No it's not. This is the GOLD Arcane deck. There's only 5000 of then so they're pretty damn rare. Mine cost so much 'cause I bought it when it first came out.

[SurfersMovie]

@Alicaint where did you buy that and is that real gold..?

[Alicaint]

@SurfersMovie I got it from ebay. I only wish it was real gold 'cause it might've been worth it then.

[DeckCollection91]

I do sell Gold Arcane deck, anyone want to get it?

[raquizta06]

You know how precious those cards are right? only 5000 of them are printed I have this deck and the Black Ghost first edition

[Alicaint]

@raquizta06 Me too.

[TheCardGuy521]

lucky u got one..wish i had one.

[oldmanin21]

how muck is that deck !?

[Alicaint]

@oldmanin21 I payed $180 altogether including shipping, ($294.35 approv). I think they go for cheaper now though. One thing I will say though... they are not, let me repeat that, they are not worth tht much money.

[oldmanin21]

@Alicaint Y its so much money ? whats there defrant from anothe bicycal deck ?

[Alicaint]

@oldmanin21 'cause there's only 5000 of them and they've been pure hyped up on Ellusionist and that.

[oldmanin21]

@oldmanin21 only 5000 copy have baid !?

[Alicaint]

@oldmanin21 Yeah... they say they destroyed the presses afterwards too.

[oldmanin21]

@Alicaint ya but 180$ isn't to much ?for a card ? U THINK ?

[Alicaint]

@oldmanin21 Sorry I meant to say £180. Which is about $294.35.

[oldmanin21]

@Alicaint OMG !!!! BUT WHO WHANT TO SPEND 295 on a CARD ! Y BIT WHAT THIS CARD HAVE OF advantage ? i really dont see any thing just a deck of card ?

[Alicaint]

@oldmanin21 Me obviously for one reason and one reason only; I collect playing cards.

[tuesdayiscoming1]

it would be awesome if they had a white gold arcane deck

[Alicaint]

@tuesdayiscoming1 I'd buy it.

[cardboy419]

why do you pronounce it Arcun?

[Alicaint]

@cardboy419 That's just my accent.

[Alicaint]

@cardboy419 Kind of like the tomato and yogurt arguement, lol.

[randomonium19473]

having a fun time smelling them all lol

[Alicaint]

@randomonium19473 Indeed I am but I didn't much enjoy smelling this one, lol.

[randomonium19473]

they only destroyed the printing plates for the gold arcane deck not the black and white ones

[alexdsz1989]

@randomonium19473 People dont usually know that the plates are different if the color (or at least color setting) is different. (just adding to what you said, not correcting it or criticizing in any manner)

[Alicaint]

@alexdsz1989 If that's the case, how come we haven't seen any second edition Arcanes yet? There seem to be a lot of lies flying round regarding the USPCC these days, eg, they say they've destroyed the Gold Arcane printing plates, but I've read somewhere else that they're for show on someone's wall and the crack about the new Air Cushion finish. I don't care what anyone at the USPCC says, the new Air Cushion finish on the coloured decks they're putting out now IS different.

[FAMOUSxMODDER]

i seen one of these go for $250 on ebay yesterday

[jjlovesjam]

wow cool

[TheDragonagila]

It's just a good advice my friend...

[TheDragonagila]

Aliciant, why doesent you learn some tricks? Do you even understand how cool everbody would think you are. With amazing decks like that could you even be a proffesional magician, ofcourse doesent everything depends on the cards but it would give you a real godd boost of a career as a magician. look at me, i'm a magician that doesent have the money to buy expensive (but good) cards like that, its much harder to learn and practice without good cards.

[Alicaint]

@TheDragonagila I never, not once, said I don't know any tricks; I just don't think I'm any good at them so I don't call myself a magician.

[FAMOUSxMODDER]

@Alicaint $288

[TheDragonagila]

I hope you can do any street magic with the deck! If not you would just be pathetic buy them...

[Alicaint]

@TheDragonagila First of all I'd like to point out, as I have many times before, that I'm not a magician; I'm a collector. Definition of pathetic- causing or evoking pity, sympathetic sadness, sorrow. Nothing about collecting cards is "pathetic". I upload videos to demonstrate to any interested which decks handle well and look good.

[RiderBack85]

I agree with faxwolf. I can tell you really love your playing cards from watching your reviews. i have also grown to love them too. £180 is ALOT but saying that they are in limited supply. Cheers.

[Alicaint]

@RiderBack85 I've just hosted my first contest, check it out. When you find out how rare the cards I'm getting are and how much money I payed for them, you'll see why I hate the fact that I spent £180 on this deck... limited or not.

[Faxwolf]

nice unbiased review

[Alicaint]

@Faxwolf Thanks.

[lambolover14]

just a question no offence to annyone why are card decks like these so special/made they are just for playing cardgames with right? please answer back if you get to and again nooffence

[Alicaint]

@lambolover14 Well some people buy a lot because they do a lot of magic with them and wear them down somewhat. I just collect them because I've always liked playing cards.

[lambolover14]

@Alicaint oh ok thanks!

[RiderBack85]

How much did you pay for it? I've seen them for scary prices.

[Alicaint]

@RiderBack85 I bought mine for about £180 wither that of £160. I don't really remember now. It's really not worth that kind of money though.

[evilmonsterbear711]

OH MY GOSH I NEED THAT DECK PLEASE TELL ME WHERE TO GET IT!!!!!!!

[Alicaint]

@evilmonsterbear711 It really isn't that great like. You can get it at the Ellusionist website of from various sellers on ebay.

[MLGCODSTER24]

I have 2 Gold Arcanes, one is in the Lucite cases from E

[Alicaint]

@MLGCODSTER24 Gutted for you mate. I've really gone off the Gold Arcanes.

[MLGCODSTER24]

@Alicaint thanks, cool videos man I enjoy them all and they are very helpful

[autumnmagic92]

the white arcanes are sold out. so maybe they just have more black in stock and they may eventually run out who knows

[Alicaint]

@autumnmagic92 Well spotted. I just saw that they were still selling them so I just assumed they'd still be printing them.

[superbad123abc]

@Alicaint They have the Airflow Aurora. all decks except The masters have to say Air Cushion even though they're something else.

[TheMatrix72370]

@autumnmagic92 Why did you block me from both of your channels? We were friends. At least I thought we were. I was, am, and always will be your #1 fan and supporter. Hope you have a Happy Holiday Season.

[TheMatrix72370]

I got it! Bought my $75 worth and got it for FREE, just like you did, but you had to pay a LOT more to get it. Actually, I ordered it today with a money order and I should be getting it in a week or two.

[serobhdz]

@TheMatrix72370 it is secure to pay at ellusionist? i mean it dont convince my mom and i want some cards for Xmas

[TheMatrix72370]

@serobhdz DEFINITELY secure if you pay by credit card, but I don't worry about it because I pay by Money Order.

[theguitarhero649]

if you order over 75$ at ellusionist right now you get a free arcane deck, it ends wednesday thogh. Nice review!

[Alicaint]

@theguitarhero649 Yeah I know. Still I got mine though, lol.

[theguitarhero649]

@Alicaint yeah wait did you order one?

[Alicaint]

@theguitarhero649 No, I was saying I got mine.

[theguitarhero649]

@Alicaint oh yeah haha. I'm really tempted to Order from Ellusionist right now to get one but I'm brokeD:

[TheDanVital]

@theguitarhero649 I Know I JUST ORderd right Now!!

[theguitarhero649]

@TheDanVital Nice:P

[cardmaster303]

um, on the title u said 13/12, there isn't 13 months in one year, haha

[ilovejedimasteryoda]

@cardmaster303 that might be because it was the 13th of december (dd/mm/yyyy)... It depends of where you live, from the beautiful accent he has, he is not americain.

[Alicaint]

@ilovejedimasteryoda Beautiful accent? I'll just take your word for it, lol.

[Alicaint]

@cardmaster303 There are 13 new moons though, :-P.

[TheFallenangel868]

@Alicaint dude is that a super automatic knife your using?

[Alicaint]

@TheFallenangel868 Most of the time, lol; sometimes when I eject the blade it slides strait back into the handle if held the right way.

[TheFallenangel868]

@Alicaint by the way dude how much did you bought the knife? and also very very very very nice looking deck you have i only wish i could have 1 of those decks :D my knife has a problem my knifes spring is getting weaker and weaker :( but i really like your deck good day to you sir :D

[Alicaint]

@cardmaster303 ... and yeah. Here in jolly olde England we put the day first. Eg, Monday the 13th of September 2010.

[jimmygee5]

they are pronounced "arcayn" not arcan. but it didn't bother me that much :P awesome review :D

[Alicaint]

@jimmygee5 Yeah that's just my accent.

[deckmastercards]

So this is weird - I have the most odd deck of black arcanes ever. The backs and jokers are BARELY visible and the reds are super dark. Not only that, the card stock is extremely soft and the deck is about 5mm thinner than my white arcanes. D:

[Alicaint]

@deckmastercards Really? Would you do a video on 'em so I can have a look please?

[deckmastercards]

@Alicaint Going on vacation so I'll have to wait till 2011 to make the vid. :P It's definitely quite odd and interesting especially since all I keep hearing is how THICK the black arcanes are.

[Alicaint]

@deckmastercards Thought you meant the Gold Arcanes there. Yeah my black are pretty thick. Your's sound cool though.

[1942sonson]

Ya  SSSSSEEEEEEXXXXXYYYYY sexy!!!!!!!!

[TheDanVital]

finally a gold arcane deck review. and no sir the gold tint does not make it look nicer, ellegant or brilliant, it makes it look sexy, repeat after me, Sexy.

[Alicaint]

@TheDanVital Again with the whole "you make me laugh thing", lmao! Thumbs up and that...

[Alicaint]

@TheDanVital Sexy, lol.

[KPopFever605]

the dead eye deck does have a specific scent to it

[Alicaint]

@KPopFever605 There are a few of them with the same scent. I think this calls for a video on the smells of different decks of cards.
