 Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a deck review. Hey, today we're going to look at the Inverted Kings deck from Daniel Madison, Peter McKinnon and Illusionist.com. What is the Inverted Kings? A while back Daniel Madison and Peter McKinnon released a deck that was just called Kings. It was an all-gold foil wrapped tuck and then on the inside it was white cards with black icons. So this is the exact opposite. Even though it's a white tuck case, on the inside there is a black deck with white icons. In 2014 we saw the beginning of the Kings series of playing cards and when we made the first ever Kings deck of playing cards we instantly wanted to do an inverted version. So we got these printed at the same time. So the design and the markings are exactly the same but the backs inverted and we turned everything inverted. So black with white icons and the faces we kept them white. We made this box. I absolutely love this. A really nice white card with gold foil printed on the logo on the sides. So this is a rare Kings deck. We wanted to make these to give to our friends and to make for promotional purposes and then also so that we had them ourselves too. After all the promotions over the past two years there are now only 1,000 of these decks left. So these are available right now until they're all gone. If you want your chance to complete your Kings collection by having the inverted Kings don't miss out on the opportunity to go to elusionist.com right now and have a look for these inverted Kings playing cards by Peter McKinnon and me Daniel Madison. I am Daniel Madison. These are the inverted Kings. The front of the tuck case is all simplified. It's pretty much just the Kings logo there on the front which consists of the two weapons of the two Kings that Peter McKinnon and Daniel Madison represent and then all the way wrapped around there pretty much isn't any iconography or words at all other than on one side it does say think like Kings and the other side says live like Kings. The top says Madison and McKinnon and again you have the Kings logo. The bottom has some ad copy about elusionist.com and that is pretty much it for the tuck case. Let's take a look at these cards. These cards are printed from the United States playing card company and they do come on a retail stock 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. The back of the card is like I said it's an inverted deck so there's a black background with white icons and then the icon is across sword and across axe which are the weapons of the Kings in the deck and it is a reader back deck as was the previous Kings deck and so if you purchase this deck you'll find information on how to read the backs so that you will be able to identify what card is on the face. This card has a ton of diamonds, right? With this deck your two jokers are the symbols of Peter McKinnon and Daniel Madison. The sword is Peter McKinnon and the axe is Daniel Madison. They are the weapons that their Kings hold in this deck. Also with this deck you'll get a double backer which is great for magic tricks and also with this deck you'll get an angle Z card. Angle Z is a magic trick that Daniel Madison created and this card is in and included with a lot of other Daniel Madison decks and so if you're familiar with the trick you'll get one of these cards. Everybody always asks how the cards feel, how they handle, how they perform. If you really want to know the answers to those questions you can click a link below in the description and it'll take you to a website that'll show you where this deck falls in comparison with other decks. When you measure this deck it kind of has a middle of the road feel to it so it's not exactly a casino deck's thickness and it's not exactly a buttery smooth soft deck either so it's kind of in the middle. It's really close to a standard deck of Riderbacks so where a standard deck of Riderbacks would fall this is about where they fall. This deck of the inverted Kings also has a very chemical smell to it and so sometimes that's indicative of performance coding or magic finish and sometimes illusionists will put magic finish on their decks that have a lot of ink saturation. The back of this has a lot of black and so sometimes that can lead to chipping. If you don't know what chipping is, chipping is when you shuffle your cards end to end and the ends start to get that little flex of white and so the magic finish kind of locks in that color a little bit it helps the deck to perform better and also slide better so it's very possible that this deck has magic finish. Also when you take these cards straight out of the box you're going to notice that they're not in new deck order they are actually in a Monica stack and so this will only benefit you if you are going to go from an unopened deck straight into a magic trick and why you would do that would be is that you would know the order of the deck before the deck is open you're going to give the deck a false shuffle and a false cut and make the spectator believe that the cards are mixed but you'll be able to go into a magic trick where you will instantly know where all the cards are and where they fall in the stack because it's in a stacked order. Your ace of spades is going to be the Kings ace that is like a big fat chunky pip that's been split apart and at the bottom it says think like Kings. All the Pips and NC cards are completely standard however I would think that the red suits are just a little darker so the red coloring I think are just a little more muted a little bit more dull. Your court cards are Madison courts so that means that it's Daniel Madison, Peter McKinnon and a couple of their girlfriends and best friends and fellow magicians emblazed across the front of several of the faces of the courts however there are a couple courts that are standard and would be recognizable to anyone.
