 Hey everybody, welcome back to magic orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a viewer question All right, so today I got another viewer question in the comment section Below one of my videos and thought it was good question And so we're gonna offer it today for our Q&A and just as a reminder if you ask a really good question Who knows maybe you might show up in one of these videos So here's the question. It's from LaQuentin Edwards. Okay, LaQuentin Edwards asks What is the thickness of 10 black Kings cards talking about Daniel Madison illusionist? Okay, I want to know because I can't decide if I want the thick blood Kings or the thinner black Kings But I want to know how thin they are. Hey, that's a really good question And so let me answer it and I can answer it really quickly The difference between the black Kings and the blood Kings are next to nothing I mean, it might actually be nothing because really the caliper is measuring But it's my caliper and so my caliper might have a different measurement than yours. All I can do is show you What's thicker and what's thinner? I can definitely do that but between the black Kings and the blood Kings It's what a hundredth of a millimeter like it's it's nothing What did I say the black Kings are 2.96 and the blood Kings are 2.97 so in your hands You won't feel a difference. You you won't feel a difference. There's no such thing as thick blood Kings and thinner black Kings They're this they're for the most part. They're practically the same size deck. In fact, if I just went through all of my Madison decks and we'll show them to you right now Just to give you a clue Okay, so out of all of the Madison's decks the thinnest stuck I have was the hustlers So that was 2.88 the rounders come in around 2.93 white rounders come in at 2.95 So again same thickness as black Kings and blood Kings red dealers are 2.97 same thickness Okay, so you're really not going to get into a casino grade or B grade thickness until you hit the brown rounders The brown rounders seem to be on B stock as well as the lion's den cards Which makes sense because they're casino cards and the expert at the card table cards Those came in at 3.0 as well. Okay, so hopefully that's your answer and really, you know bicycle They only have two stocks They have one type of paper and they press it at two different thicknesses They have retail stock and they have casino stock retail stock comes in a bicycle rider deck is at 2.94 Okay, a regular red Bicycle deck off the shelf is 2.94. So for black Kings to be 2.96 I mean you're not going to tell the difference the only thing that you're going to tell the difference with Are the illusionist decks are Q1 decks, which means that they're highest quality So you're going to get much smoother edges. Okay, you're going to get much rounder softer corners You're going to have more attention paid to the registry that's printed on the back of the cards And so that'll give you the feel That you're looking for I think between You know illusionist deck and say something off the shelf That definitely makes the cards feel Nicer but as far as thickness and as far as how they handle they're going to be exactly the same You won't be able to tell the difference. All right So that was a great question from LaQuentin Edwards And of course if you'd liked more content at any time you can always go to magic orthodoxy com. Thanks. Bye
