 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 Mako playing cards from Gemini Cards. These are a supreme quality deck of cards built just for cardistry. Look at the front of the tuckcase and the front of the tuckcase is actually the back design of the cards. I know I always say, and the back design of the tuckcase is the back design of the cards, but it's not. The front of the tuckcase is the back design of the cards, except that it's not gray. It's a white tone, but you're going to see that gray and black wash over the entire tuckcase. One side says Mako playing cards, and the other side says made in the USA. And the bottom has some ad copy about Gemini and GeminiDecks.com. The back is what I think should be the front. I think it's the most attractive, but it's the Ace of Spades logo there with the Mako logo underneath that. The top of the tuckcase simply says Mako playing cards with an orange stripe, and the tongue flap continues that orange stripe as well. And then the two tiny tongue flaps just have a little bit of line ornamentation. That is pretty much it for the tuckcase. Let's take a look at these cards. These cards come from the United States playing card company, and they're done on a crushed retail stock. They do have a traditional cut and Eric Christian embossed, and if you'd like to learn more about stock, cut, or finish, you can click the link below in the description. Now, a lot of people always ask how these cards feel and how they handle. The best thing I can tell you is they feel and handle great, but I could give you a little bit more information than that. What I do is actually stick 10 of these into a caliper. I stick 10 of these into a caliper and then measure them against other decks that maybe you've held or owned before in the past. So 10 of these in the caliper come to 2.76, which is the same as the Roadhouse from Illusionist. It's the same as the Dapper Deck, the Dapper Knock Deck, the Avant Guard Deck that was put out from Edgy Brothers, Murphy's Signature Knock Deck is the same, the Knights Deck and Orbit Purple is the same thickness as this as well. The back design, call it whatever you want, call it a Z, call it an N, call it a backwards N, two Vs linked together. A ribbon, it could be a ribbon, right? It's just a ribbon ornamentation that's kind of folded and then folded back in on itself. Whatever it is, it's a beautiful design that works great for cardistry, and you know, I would offer anything really. This is a great deck for magic, great deck for gameplay as well. You got a nice thin white poker border and I love that. And overall, I think it's just a beautiful deck of cards. With this deck, you're going to get two original jokers. It's a large field of white with the Mako logo there in the center and the words Mako in the corners as well. Also, with this deck, you're going to get two extra cards. You're going to get a Mako ad card and a double backer, which is great for magic tricks. Your Pips and Indici cards are going to be completely standard, making them instantly recognizable. The only thing I would say that's a little different, a little off, is that the red is not a true red. It is, I would say it's orange. It's an orange color, but the black cards are still black and your core cards are going to be completely bicycle standard as well. The only thing is that they have all been recolored. So you're going to have that orange and the black and that's it. All in all, I think Gemini decks did a great job on this deck. I most recently put it in my top 10 cardistry decks and you can go visit that link. I'll put that in the description below. Tumas Pinston was the artist on this. He was a designer and this deck was a limited run of 2,800 decks. All right, so that is my review of the Mako deck from GeminiDecks.com. I'd like to thank Gemini for allowing me to have this deck so that I can do the review for you and if you would like to purchase it for yourself, I would head on down to geminidecks.com or wherever quality decks are sold. Thanks, bye.
