 Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a deck review. Hey, today we're going to look at the Liars and Thieves deck from the expert playing card company. All right, so what is the Liars and Thieves deck? What's the inspiration behind it? Well, Liars and Thieves is a beautifully designed deck that combines all the benefits of a white border deck accompanied with the deceptive qualities of an overall back design like a casino back. The design on the court cards is minimized to create a very clean look and each deck comes complete with two identical Jokers, a blank face card and a double backer. Tuck ace is made of a special synthetic paper that is built to last with resistance to tearing and moisture. And because it's an expert playing cards company deck it is a side loading tuck and you can see that it's this is the back design of the cards and it kind of wraps around and then it has the white on the top. On the back you'll have the Liars and Thieves logo there and a little bit of ad copy on the bottom. The only other writing is right here on the side of the tuck ace and it says you cannot con an honest man. That is pretty much it for the tuck ace. Let's take a look at these cards. Like I said, these cards are printed from the expert playing card company and they are done with their master finish which means they are very thin and very firm. Expert would have you believe that these are comparable to Jerry's Nuggets which are the choice cards for many of the magician masters. It has a semi smooth finish and a very subtle embossing pattern. Now a lot of people will always ask how these cards feel, how they handle. Best thing I can do is measure them for you and give you a scientific reading about how thick they are and then you can compare that number to a previous deck, maybe that you've held or owned. When I take 10 of these cards and stick it in the caliper it comes to 2.76. 2.76 is about on par with the illusionist Roadhouse deck. There's that back design we were talking about earlier and you can see that there is a border but it's kind of deceptive because it's created by stopping the repeating pattern. So it's not a square edged straight border, it's kind of a bumpy border but again you get the best of both worlds. It's a repeating pattern like I said and then you have that Liars and Thieves logo on the top and bottom as a repeating image. And like I said earlier with this deck you'll get 2 gaffes, you'll get a blank face and a double backer which are great for magic. Your ace of spades is very ornate, very big. It's just a giant exploded tip there in the middle made up of a bunch of ink line work. With this deck you'll get 2 jokers. They're the standard expert playing card jokers that we've seen with all of the releases since the Zen deck. Your Pips and Indici cards will all be completely standard and instantly recognizable, making them perfect for magic, gameplay and flourishing. Your court cards are going to look standard, they almost have an arco feel to them, but as you feel see they're kind of exploded. They're a lot bigger than a standard court and they're borderless which means they have a very beautiful, very timeless look to them.
