Unboxing the RAREST Deck from Art of Play
Let's take a look at the RAREST deck of playing cards from Art of Play that's in my collection, the If an Octopus Could Palm deck!
To be clear, this is the 10th anniversary edition of the deck, not the original. If it were the original, well, that would be close to the actual rarest deck I own. However, this one's pretty collectible as-is =]
What's the rarest deck in *your* collection?

    Cool, I figured it out by watching others do it. None of them revealed the secret but it suddenly hit me, mostly because it comes with "dry hands powder" and I was like why would that be? Ahhhhh then it hit me.. Thanks for the book references, going to check those out. Love watching just to see if I can figure it out more than just knowing the secret. Although sometimes tricks are so amazing that once you know the secret as a magician you're even more amazed at the skill it takes to perform them, and that's where where the real magic comes in. In lots and lots and lots of practice.

    • @gbabbits

    Really nice deck for sure, even if I'm not personally a fan of one-way backs. And I would like to see some more pretty cards - what, I'm easily entertained and pleased. :D Oh, and chances are you're already subscribed to that channel, but Grand Illusions has some... interesting cards. Not always fit for cardistry, but... interesting. :D

      That's a fun idea! I don't know what I would consider to be my rarest deck from them though. I did one with the Overlook (v1 + v2) decks here: czcams.com/video/EaGJkZ9oe4Q/video.html and I did a general review of IAOCPv2 deck on my blog (not a video review though). I'll have to think about it a bit, to see if I can come up with one.

      Did I say "eagle" somewhere? I just scrubbed through a few minutes to check but don't see it, so if I did, oops. I'm well aware that it's an owl =P That said, I personally really like the design. Both the tuck *and* the card design. I'm not the biggest fan of the black tuck ("black on black", nah...).

  • @TheDigitalThreat
    @TheDigitalThreat Před 4 měsíci

    I had made an order with Ellusionists, a ton of other stuff (Gaff decks and so on) and they had included one of these decks as a bonus/promo item. Is this a marked deck? The back markings seem like something good to hide subtle changes for marking and i read on a forum somewhere peope suspected it was marked as well, but without opening and inspecting myself I cant be sure. If they are marked ill probably just resell them on ebay, so before i open them to enjoy i want to make sure they are a normal non gaff deck!

    • @gbabbits
      @gbabbits Před 4 měsíci

      I don't think that it's marked, at least, I didn't receive any "marking system" from E and the deck itself passes the riffle test even when looking really closely. The icons are the back are small and definitely offer the ability to be marked -- the only issue would be finding the right shade of "brown" ink to do so, anything else would stand out pretty easily.
