 Hey everybody, welcome back to magic orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a deck review. All right So today we're going to review the craft beer deck from the United States playing card company bicycle If you don't know what craft beer is craft beer is small. Okay, so you got to think small breweries. So independent traditional They have an annual beer production less than two million barrels. Okay, so that's what would be considered a craft beer So the argument would be made that craft beer would be unique, you know that you have a small production team you have a small line of product and Your brew masters are going to be really hands-on. They're going to be very particular very Involved in the process and making this and so what USPCC wanted to do was this partner with 53 different breweries and profile them on each card face and kind of just you know, just shared their love for card-making but also to celebrate beer and so these are breweries from all around the United States These are all genuine American Entrepreneurs their passion is dedicated to the innovative full-flavored beers they make and so this deck is of course Dedicated to all those people like me That love their local breweries and the people behind them. Okay, and so again drink responsibly 21 and over obey your laws in your state So the front of the took case this is embossed. This is all embossing says bicycle and it's celebrating 53 different breweries Does a craft beer playing cards right there this side says air cushion finish made in the USA And this side says air cushion finish made in the USA. The bottom has an ad copy about USPCC The top has the standard Tuxedo logo and then the back has a little bit of just copy about the theme and why they made the deck and the inspiration behind it And that is pretty much it for the took case. Let's take a look at these cards These cards come off the shelf and so they are a bicycle retail stock They do have a modern cut and air cushion finish and if you would like to learn more about stock cut or finish You can click the link below in the description Okay, so since this is a bicycle deck and it's an off-the-shelf deck Of course, it's going to handle and feel a lot like a standard rider back deck Standard 808 deck it does have really nice smooth edges nice smooth corners the registry You know, it's going to be what it is and it's not a Q1 quality But it's a really good deck nice buttery soft deck the stock is very thin very flexible very snappy It's a good deck the back design is a two-way image. It's a thick brown poker-sized border And so the but the faces are white so hiding reverse cards doing magic That would be an issue the corners have a little circle that says bicycle And that should be a hop there in the corner and then you have a bottle of beer going top and bottom with the four Icons there of the suits there in the center and then you have some, you know hops or barley there on the sides making a little ring and Just some ornamentation making a frame with this deck. You're going to get two Original and uniquely different jokers and they are breweries. So again the breweries can continue on to the jokers as well They didn't make craft beer jokers specifically. These are actual Logos from local breweries with this deck. You're also going to get one double-backed gaffer, which is good for magic tricks And with this deck you're also going to get an ad card It's pretty much the same write-up that is on the back of the tuck case So it gives you a little bit of the inspiration behind the deck your ace of spades is a vintage design It says Erlingard, Kentucky down there at the bottom and again, you have the bottle of beer there in the center It's really pretty. I like the dark Tobacco brown colors that this deck utilizes and I think it makes for a very attractive ace of spades so the rest of the deck is only denoted by corner indices here in the corners obviously and The black cards are black and the red cards are kind of like a umber Brown and then you can see from the face. It's a one-way design and so it only reads one direction and they're all Craft beer logos. Okay, you're not going to find any kings or queens or jacks You're not going to find any center arrangements of five hearts It's all going to be craft beer logos and so I would say that this deck It's probably going to be more attractive to the collector either of cards and or Beer beer fans great deck of cards to have in a bar, you know, somebody says hey Do you have a deck of cards? This would be a great deck for that or you know, if you were a brewery and You know people played card games in your lobby, which I've seen and so it's kind of falls into that line Or you know, you just want a fun deck of cards I don't know if this would work great for magic, you know I think people would be too focused on the image in the center So I don't I wouldn't recommend it for magic It could be fun for cardistry because it has you know a unique flashing image that would You know passed by the spectator's eyes whenever you were doing a civil cut or whatever All right So that is the craft beer deck from the United States playing card company As always we recommend that you like this video just so other people can find it faster We also recommend that you subscribe to this channel just to stay up to date on the latest in cards and card magic If you want to follow me on social media, you can I'm at facebook.com slash magic orthodoxy twitter.com slash magic orthodoxy Instagram.com slash magic underscore orthodoxy and you can always find more content at magic orthodoxy.com Thanks.
