 Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Orthodoxy. My name's David and this is the deck review. Hey, today we're gonna look at the Fate Chip playing cards printed from the United States playing card company. All right, so what are the Fate Chip cards? Basically, they're just a really simple deck design that are meant as a souvenir piece for any card collector. There's even a trailer. You wanna see what it looks like? This is it. All right, so that's the Fate Chip cards. Just to tell you a little bit more about the deck itself. These cards are based on the principle of honoring classic cards, and they combine many classic elements and fashion into the design. Fate Chip also takes into account the needs of magic and visual effects in cardistry. And so the cards have a dazzling performance both in the static presentation and in their dynamic process, just like you saw in the video. The front of the tuck ace just says Fate Chip in the silver font, and then it has this blue and white striped design that kind of goes all the way around the deck. Now it's made to look like a poker chip, okay? This is the poker chip symbol, and of course, if you've had poker chips before, you kind of recognize that too, especially the little castle edge right there. One side of the cards just simply says Fate Chip, and then there's the symbol of a poker chip. The bottom has some ad copy about the address for United States playing card company. This side of the tuck ace has nothing. The top side of the tuck ace has nothing. There's also no deck seal, which is nice. And then the back design is just a simple stripe pattern. That is pretty much it for the tuck ace. Let's take a look at these cards. Like I said, these cards were printed from the United States playing card company, and they are done on their casino-grade stock. They do have an air cushion emboss, and they do have a modern cut. And if you'd like to learn more about stock cut or finish, you can click the link below in the description. The back design has a nice thick white poker border, and then you see that blue and white stripe pattern, and then you have the poker chip logo there in the center. All right, so a lot of people always ask how these cards feel, how they handle. The best thing I can do is measure them, okay? I can measure them in a caliper and give you that measurement and then compare them against other decks that you might have held or owned. 10 cards in the caliper, 10 cards comes to 2.86. Now, Bicycle would tell you nowadays that 2.86 is their casino-grade thickness, and we'll agree because they have the new crush stock paper. But really back in the day, 2.86 was retail stock. In fact, I have a deck of Tally Hoes right now that measure 2.86, and people used to think that Tally Hoes were thin. So 2.86, okay, it's on the border. It's on the cuff of being a poker-grade stock. You're gonna see the carbon deck, the same thickness. The black lions, both in the red and the blue were the same thickness. The thinner's deck was 2.86, as well as the Verts SS16 that I reviewed is the same thickness as well. With this deck, you're gonna get two double backers as your gaff cards. One double backer is the same on both sides, so it's a true double backer, and the other double backer is missing the poker chip, and that would make for a really cool magic trick. You know, if you had a physical three-dimensional poker chip, especially a blue one, you could make it appear like you split it off of the card. Your two jokers are very simple in design. They just simply say fate chip in the corner, and then they have the fate chip logo of the poker chip there in the center. Your ace of spades is very simple, very minimalistic. Again, it's that poker chip symbol in the middle of a large spade pip. Beyond that, all your pips, indices, and quarts are gonna be completely bicycle standard, instantly recognizable, making them perfect for gameplay, magic, and flourishing. All right, so that's my review of the fate chip playing cards.
