 Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Brithodoxy. My name is David and this is a deck review. Hey, today we're going to look at the Guy Hallingworth Burgundy Monogram deck. What's a monogram? Okay kids, a monogram is when you have your initials sewn into your t-shirt or to your towel and you can see right there in the front is GH for Guy Hallingworth. It's also an ambigram so it's also GH when you flip it upside down, which helps when you have a two-way back design, which of course you would want as a magician so it doesn't look a little tricky. If you don't know who Guy Hallingworth is, how do you not know who Guy Hallingworth is? He's only one of the coolest magicians in the world. He's based out of London. He did that DVD, the London collection. He did drawing and deception. Those are two of his biggest ones. Like I said, this deck is released from Dan and Dave. They're both huge Guy Hallingworth fans and originally this deck was released in green last year and it came out with a Guy Hallingworth DVD set and the only way you could get the green deck was if you bought the set. Well now they've released the same deck of cards in Burgundy and you can buy them in individual decks and so that kind of makes it cool for the rest of us that don't have a lot of money. The tuck case is Burgundy and it's done in a matte finish with embossing and gold foil. Like I said, they've got the ambigram signature there on the front. It says Guy Hallingworth on one side and playing cards on the other. The bottom has some ad copy about Dan and Dave. The top has Guy Hallingworth's initials again and the back design is a repeated image of the back design of the playing cards. Way down here it also says made in the USA and you can see that there's no tuck seal which is really nice especially on these matte decks where tuck seals could really tear the finish on this and then you'll see the inside of the tuck is also lined in that Burgundy matte as well. So that is pretty much it for the tuck case. Let's take a look at these cards. These cards were printed from the United States Playing Card Company and they do come on their micro thinnest retail stock. Now normally retail stock is thin. Dan and Dave say they've gotten the retail stock to be even thinner on these. They say it's about eight cards thinner than a standard retail deck so we'll leave that up to you to decide. They also have a modern cut and air cushion finish 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 of course is Guy Hallingworth's initials there in the center done on a giant field of burgundy and you can see the pattern goes all the way to the edges so it's a casino back design which is really good for things like second deals and casino routines. Sometimes it's called a full bleed when the color gets pushed all the way to the edges. It's also noted that way in the background that is not just some random image it's still the GH the Guy Hallingworth logo repeated way back there in the background. With this deck you're going to get two gaffes you're going to get a double backer which is great for a lot of cool magic tricks. The other thing you're going to get is you're going to get the Guy Hallingworth quartet gaff card. Why is it called a quartet? Well it's called quartet because you have four kings. You have the king of spades, you have the king of clubs, you have the king of diamonds and you have the king of hearts and if you want to learn how to use this you can buy Guy Hallingworth's book called quartet where you'll learn a lot of really cool tricks including Guy's twist in the aces which has a really killer ending. Also with this deck you get two full-sized jokers. It's a man wearing suit and tails which is kind of how Guy Hallingworth performs and behind his back he is palming an ace. The ace of spades is the Guy Hallingworth initials and it says Hallingworth down there at the bottom. The pips and indices cards are all completely redone. You'll see the font in the corner is more of a stylistic more modern look. Very classy this deck has a real touch of elegance to it. It looks rich very similar to the setting that Guy does a lot of his magic in probably even the people that he performs for. You'll also notice that the quartets are standard but if I can get the little gold to shimmer for you they're also accented with gold foil.
