 Hey everybody welcome back to magic orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a beck review Hey today, we're gonna look at the makers deck from Dan and Dave. Alright, so what's the theme behind the makers deck? Dan and Dave their ad copy says that the makers deck is a meeting point between art and functionality The result is nothing short of breathtaking. I think out of the box You'll see both images of conjurers and collectors alike and you'll enjoy 14 custom illustrated court cards Representing the foundational Makers of our civilization that we have kind of built our Nation on so to us, you know, these are the individuals that we think are the pillars of Unparalleled craftsmanship something that we hold in the highest regard So the makers deck is both a tribute and a celebration of these men and women Each chakies has been embossed and stamped with layers of gold foil And you can see that just wrapped all the way around. It's a matte green Tuck case and you have this gold Foil ink all the way around it does say makers across the front and special Reserve it says reserved quality for all beholders made true forged in the USA by the Buck Brothers and Company One side of the tuck case says designed by the studio of Chad Michael the other side says produced by Dan and Dave Industries the bottom has some ad copy about Dan and Dave The back design of the tuck case is also the back design of the cards and you also do get a custom tuck seal Which is the complete Wrap around so it's kind of a throwback to vintage tuck seals the top of the tuck case also says Dan and Dave industries The tongue flap says by the Buck twins. So they really want you to know this is a Dan and Dave deck Inside you have ornamentation on the two little flaps And then you have ornamentation on the inside of the tuck as well that is pretty much it the tuck case Let's take a look at these cards these cards are printed from the United States playing card company And they are done on a thin retail stock They do have a modern cut and air cushion emboss 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 will always ask me how these cards feel how they handle the best thing I can do is tell you how thick they are what I do is I put them in a caliper and I measure them Scientifically so that you can compare them against other decks Maybe you own or that you've previously held 10 cards in the caliper comes to 2.69 2.69 is Incredibly thin these are incredibly thin cards This is only an example of how us PCC is moving towards a thinner stock both for retail and casino So I think this year and going forward you're gonna see a lot of smaller measurements. So right now I don't even have decks That really registered this thin so these are really thin cards the back design very similar to the back of the tuck case and Still done in that golden green. You have a nice thin frame around making a border and the inside I don't know I don't want to say it's muddled But it just doesn't stand out as well as I would like it probably I think there's a lot of detail in there and I would certainly Like to see it but either they could have made it either pop with making the green a little bit darker or Maybe adding a different color in there Just say order of the makers on there and it says world's tribute You know and you have the spade on the top and the bottom and that center circle And a lot of concentric and like outgoing frames around it But again, it's not clear, you know the design doesn't pop as well Maybe as I would have liked unless you get right up on top of it So not only is the outside of the tuck case adorned to let you know that Dan and Dave made this tech on the inside Your two extra cards are also ad cards to tell you about Dan and Dave and Art of Play I don't know just from a magic Printer and both Dan and Dave are magicians I just would have thought they would have given you cards that might be helpful for magic But you get to add cards they make great bookmarks and books also with this deck you get two original jokers One's completely black and the other is that muted gold color again I don't think the gold color pops as well some of the detail I think is lost on there, but it appears to be a gentleman with Throne and kind of really spooky eyes and then across the top it says death makes all things equal Your ace of spades is very large and very exploded has that same kind of graphic Detail that you see from the back of the cards appears to be a gentleman's head in the center or down there at the bottom of the spade Pip and then underneath that spade pip it says the wanderer truth in spades each one of your pips and indices cards is Completely original and has been redrawn the font in the corner is kind of elongated has kind of an art deco feel and then the pips themselves are all done through line drawing and the black suits are Kind of a washed out gray and the red suits aren't really a sharp either It's kind of a muted red your court cards are all original as well They're all front-facing courts and again. They're done in that gold Muted color and again. I don't feel a pot very well off the card. It's kind of hard to read But again, they're all original. They have lots of detailing in there. I think they're very Attractive very beautiful looking. I don't know that Dan and Dave said that they're all Makers of our nation's civilization. I don't know Maybe they could have used one of the ad cards to like give us an indicator of who all these Minimum and are that would have been cool to have all right So that is my review of the makers deck from Dan and Dave and the nerdy twos playing card company I purchased mine from danandave.com and if you would like to purchase yours I would head there as well as always we ask 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 if you need more content You can always find it at magic orthodoxy comm.
