 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 Mirage deck from Patrick Kuhn and the Legends playing card company. Alright, so what is the Mirage deck? This is actually the version 2. There was a version 1 before this. This is the second release and after the successful run of the original Mirage deck, Patrick Kuhn has launched this latest version, version 2, and it implements a lot of new features, a lot of design changes that kind of takes the Mirage playing cards to the very next level. The tech ace, as you can see, is printed with gold foil. It has a brand new premium pearlescent paper and it kind of gives a metallic shine when it hits the box. You're going to see gold champagne ink covering the interior of the box and when it's closed you can see that there's a brand new gold perforated seal. The Mirage emblem on the front is depicted with a new crimson color which complements this addition perfectly. The tech ace design is really like Art Nouveau kind of very simple, very streamlined. It just says Mirage playing cards right there. This side says Mirage Dawn Edition Patrick Kuhn and the other side says Luxury playing cards and then there's the hashtag Mirage playing cards. The bottom has some ad copy about Mirage playing cards and Legends. The top looks like it says Mirage and then something, something, something addition. I don't know, it's underneath the sticker and then there's that custom sticker like I said and then the back design of course is the back design of the cards. The tongue flap has a URL for Patrick Kuhn's website and on the inside you can see that beautiful pearlescent paper. That is pretty much it for the tech ace. Let's take a look at these cards. These cards were printed from the Legends playing card company and they are done on a very thick stock. When I measure these out with a caliper I measure a stack of 10 cards that comes to 3.03 millimeters. Now that is well within Bicycle's Casino Grade and 3.03 is probably one of the highest scores I've seen. So these are pretty thick cards. They're very similar to the White Lions, very similar to the Red Dynasty. When you get this deck brand new it will not come in new deck order. It will actually come in the one Tammeri stack and so if you're not familiar with that I would suggest if you're going to purchase this deck you Google it and learn the stack before you open the deck because the only reason this would help you is if you knew the stack before the deck was opened. The back design is that beautiful swirl that you saw on the back of the tuck case. It is an optical illusion back specifically designed for both magic and cardistry. With this deck you're going to get two original jokers. They're Champagne both identical and it just simply says jokers in the corner and it has a circle that has all four suit pips within it. Your Ace of Spades is very Art Deco. There's a large, exploded pip in the center and it simply says Mirage Playing Cards. All your court cards have been customized by Thomas Lavidy and in a lot of ways they're going to look very similar to the Daniel Madison courts. You're going to see such famous magicians as Laura London, Kaylin Morelli, Eric Jones and of course Patrick Kuhn. The pips and industry cards are all completely standard and will be instantly recognizable to anyone. Alright so that is my review of the Mirage Version 2 deck from Patrick Kuhn and the Legends Playing Card Company. And as always I want to thank Rare Playing Cards for providing this deck for me so that I can do the review for you.
