 Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Methodoxy. My name is David and this is a deck review. Hey, today we're going to look at the Arco Tahoe Bags. Arco was once a long time ago, the one of the preferred decks of cards used by professional magicians. Arco has since been taken over by the United States playing card company and they release all of their decks through them. Of course, this is the Tahoe Bag. So sometimes you could have an Arco deck and the back would look different or the tuckies would look different and it's available in both an antique red and a dark blue. Now Dan and Dave, they're the ones that resurrected this design and if you'd like to purchase your own, you can find it at danandave.com. They are, as you can see, a limited number of 2,500 sets in each color. Now the tuck case on the front of this just says Tahoe. It says number 84 poker playing cards and the reason why it would say number 84 is because sometimes on the UPC they would end in that number and so just like the Ryder Bags end in 808 because the end of their UPC ends in 808. The side here says resilient linen finish which is just code for air cushion and on this side it says cartouche club back. So that is how they identified this design. This is the cartouche club back. The top probably said Tahoe there underneath this original tuck seal and then the bottom has some ad copy about the United States playing card company. That is pretty much it for the tuck case. Let's take a look at these cards. So as I said these were printed by the United States playing card company and they are done on their infamous retail stock. Retail stock is thinner than B stock, thinner than Castino stock so it's much more flexible. 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. So here's a close-up look at the cartouche club back. The Tahoe cards as you can see it's very feathery, very organic shapes, lots of circles and kind of curved edges. It's not as hard or cut as some other more crisp looking decks. This is more of an organic feel but still very pretty. This used to be a connoisseur's vintage playing card set and Dan and Dave are releasing this as a facsimile so you could actually go back and find vintage playing cards that looked exactly like this from a long time ago. They would probably cost you a lot of money. These decks have probably been out of print since 1987 probably when the United States playing card company bought the Chicago printing press that used to make the Tahoe cards and so they've kind of been out of print out of run ever since then. With this deck you're going to get two gaffes. You're going to get a double backer that is both the dark blue on both sides and you're going to get a double backer that is dark blue on one side and antique red on the other. Pretty cool if you want to do a color changing a deck routine. Also with this deck you're going to get two full-size arco jokers. It's just the jester and the jester's cap and costume and it says plastic coated across the top of his hat. This is your Tahoe Ace of Spades. It's a big fat pip there in the center that says Tahoe United States playing card company and made in the USA. All your pips and industry cards should be recognizable and completely standard. You're not going to see any surprises as far as color or pip placement. Your court cards are going to have more of that vintage look because we're trying to do a throwback to it like the cards that was printed a long time ago. They use more of the classic faces and classic colors. Well that is it for the arco deck from Dan and Dave and if you'd like to purchase your own you can head on down to danandave.com.
