 Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a deck review. Hey today, we're gonna look at the cardistry deck from the Bocopo playing card company. Alright, so what is this? This is a... well, it's a cardistry deck. It's a geometric designed deck, both in tuck case and back design and the faces really, and Bocopo put this out on Kickstarter. Of course, it was successfully funded and so these are the cards right here. What are you gonna get? You're gonna get good value and modern style put together. This is really one of your best options for flourishing and cardistry and it all comes to you from the United States Playing Card Company, which in my opinion, they make the best cards. The front of the tuck case is all wrapped in this geometric shape. You got that black and then this magenta color. It just simply says cardistry in the front, you know, you don't need anything more than that. One side says it's manufactured by the United States Playing Card Company and the other side says Bocopo.com. The top is blank and just has the limited edition tuck seal and you can see there that it is one of 5,000 and then you can see the design pretty much wraps around to the back side, although that is not the back design of the cards and the bottom has a little bit of ad copy about Bocopo. That is pretty much it for the tuck case. Let's take a look at these cards. Like I said earlier, this card's come printed from the United States Playing Card Company and they're done on their casino grade stock. They do have a modern cut and air cushion and boss 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 me how these cards feel, how they handle. A best thing I can do is say they feel and handle great. But I can also stick these in a caliper and measure them for you. Scientifically analyze them so that you can see if this is similar to a deck of cards you've ever held before or owned before. Ten of these in the caliper comes to 2.89. 2.89 is definitely right up there in a casino grade, especially today when it seems like cards are getting thinner and thinner. So this are definitely a thicker card. They're gonna feel like the MPH cards. They're gonna feel like the Nocturnal cards or Dan and Dave's old classic smoke and mirrors. You're gonna see a bunch of geometric triangles on the back, both black and that kind of like magenta colored, all framed around in like white and gray. You're also gonna see a little circle in the center and that's really the center of your card and you're gonna see that on the back and the front. So on the front of the cards, you're also gonna see a little circle and that will help you practice your pirouette flourishes and things like that. You're gonna know exactly when to put your finger to do cardistry. With this deck, you'll get two extra ad cards. They both have a unique back design and then they say a little bit about the Bacopo playing card company and then following them on social media. Also with this deck, you'll get two original jokers. It's simply the Bacopo B from their logo. One of them is done in that bluish purple and the other one is that magenta pink. All of your aces, including your ace of spades, are all nice and big. Your ace of spades is that same colors that's from the back design and it just simply says the Bacopo playing card company. The rest of the aces are all done in their corresponding colors and like I said, they're all nice and big. Very easy to see. The interesting thing about this deck is you're not really gonna get red suits and black suits. You're gonna get that bluish purple to represent all the black suits and you're gonna get that red magenta pinkish color to represent all the red colors. As far as your pips and indices go, it's gonna look standard. It's gonna feel standard but a trained eye is gonna see that they're just a little different. They're a little smaller. The pips are a little smaller. The indices are a little more tight. I think that's the best word to use and the layout is also different. You're gonna notice a different layout. Pretty much everything in this deck is custom. Your court cards are going to be the shapes. They're going to be the outlining shape of your traditional court but the inside of it is going to be comprised of the geometric shapes. Your black courts are going to have the black, gray and purple geometric locking shapes together and then your red courts are going to be that magenta pink and they're going to be mixed with black and gray as well. Overall, this is a really stylized deck. Very geometric which is why it works great for cardistry. It's going to feel smooth as far as coloring and transitions from both the backs and the fronts and that works great for cardistry as well. So when you're switching and you're flipping your deck over from backs to fronts the color transitions will feel similar and the geometric shapes of the court cards will mimic the geometric shape of the back design. All right, so that is my review of the cardistry deck from Bacopo.com. I want to thank them for allowing me to have this deck so that I could do the review for you and if you would like to purchase it for yourself you can find it from their website or wherever quality cards are sold. Thanks. Bye.
