 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 Piff the Magic Dragon playing cards from Chris Chalco and Claire Blackledge. Alright, so if you didn't watch America's Got Talent last year or you've just been living under a rock and you don't know who Piff the Magic Dragon is, Piff the Magic Dragon is the world's only Magic Dragon. How else do I say that? He appears on TV all the time. He's the magician wearing the green dragon costume and holding his lovely assistant, Mr. Piffles. Piff the Magic Dragon is actually John Vanderputt. You go out to any Magic website and kind of search John's name. You're going to find a lot of his just incredible card magic that he has released in the past. VDP stands out the most. VDP is actually the trick that he has done on television. It's that great torn and restored signature trick that you've seen him do. Go out, go to the Magic Store, buy VDP. You won't be let down or buy out of the routine or buy card tricks for money. Some of the stuff that John's put out is just great magic. Don't write him off just because he's a guy in a dragon costume. John is also a very well-established card magician. These cards here, they were produced by Chris Chalco. You remember Chris Chalco did the Whispering Imps campaign. All of these cards were hand-illiterated by a lady out in the United Kingdom named Claire Blackledge. You can visit her at clareblackledge.co.uk. These cards were printed from the expert playing card company and the tuck case is all die-cut and this tuck case was actually the bane of Chris Chalco's existence. He worked on this so long to make sure that you had a little tackler. It's a Piff the Magic Dragon suitcase that he carries around and the tuck case is made to look exactly like that. So all the artwork on this is done just like Piff's suitcase. The other interesting thing is these little die-cut cards that you get with the deck. So you're going to get three of these. They come flat like this but then there's the little die-cut that you see there and what you do is you unfold it into this little origami thing and you slide it underneath the tuck case. I'll show you here in a picture what it looks like and so then you're able to set up the little tackler with the stand underneath and the decks on top. Now I haven't been able to make it strong enough to where the deck stays in the box. I've always had to take the cards out of the box to make it light enough to stand up on the on the stand but I don't know maybe some of you are better at origami than me. The tuck case also has a top loading lid there with all the cards fitting in there and you get more cards than you do. There's more cards than just an average deck so this tuck case had to be made extra large to hold the extra cards. The back design is done in green and white and it is a mirrored image. The back design represents Piff's future castle that he will live in one day. It's the perfect place for a magic dragon just to get away from it all and although for now this is as close as he's going to get. Like I said these cards were hand-illiterated so everything has been completely redesigned including the Pips and Indices and so you don't have spades, you have balls of fire, you don't have hearts, you have little clusters of roses that you would give to your princess, you don't have clubs, you have puppy paws so that would be Mr. Piffles and then diamonds well you have diamonds but these are the diamonds that you would see on Piff the Magic Dragon's costume. Also with this deck you're going to get two original jokers it's Mr. Piffles as a night on the back of a horse and on one of them the helmet is lifted up and he has a card reveal. Also if you've watched Piff the Magic Dragon's performances you know he's famous for pulling out a sandwich and eating it and so you're going to get your sandwich cards you're going to get bread, ham, Swiss cheese and then another slice of bread that has I think butter on one side. Does Piff like butter? I don't know. Of course that means all the court cards had to have been redone as well and so all the kings are Piff the Magic Dragon, all the queens are princesses and all the jacks are Mr. Piffles. You're also going to get a couple of gaff cards one of which is Mr. Piffles going into a cannon and then the cannon exploding and then the last card is your reveal card it's Mr. Piffles slammed through your force card and so what you would do is you would obviously force a card on someone and then lose it in the deck, pull out your two jokers which would be the your cannon cards maybe you would do some sort of top change where you'd make the cannon fire and then you would go back through the deck and find the card with Mr. Piffles face on it turn it over and see that he found your card.
