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?

In Session Playing Cards: Junior Year - Deck Review
The carpet back is the best. :D
The white and black void deck is really cool!
I agree (^_^)
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.
Glad you liked it 🙌! And yeah, tricks like this one require real world practice too -- a bit hard to pull this one off in front of a mirror 😅
As someone who collects cards purely for the art, I love this deck. I think I will buy the deck and display the cards in a binder.
That's actually a pretty awesome idea 🙌
nice video! i can't bring myself to open my iaocp!
Thanks, glad you liked it 🙌🐙! And I definitely get the "don't open" appeal - I have several decks that I still haven't brought myself to break the seal on 😅
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
Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out (^_^)
Some very nice looking decks. Octopus deck is still on my list! Lol Keep it up!
Thanks, glad you like it! And good luck, hopefully you'll get one one day (^_^)
leave it to a magician to turn a miracle of emotion into a card trick
🤣🤣🤣
Dude great video, I laughed I cried I cheered. Good stuff
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it 😁🙌
Hi gbabbits when do the new mystery decks come out, I would love to get some
You're in luck, they're available now on Art of Play's website! Typically, I've seen them only available November through January, but this year, it looks like they've kept them up 😀
@@gbabbits thanks so much for the tip! I will grab some today😄
just curious just got a pack of these what is the price unsealed? Could not find price online.
Art of Play doesn't sell these directly, they're a "mystery deck exclusive". The regular green-tuck version is listed as $36 though - www.artofplay.com/products/overlook
4 tutorial and learnt it
Could you make a video showcasing your rarest deck from art of play?
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.
The jungle playing cards looked very nice 👍
It's a really fun deck, lots of great artwork 😍🦁
Thank god I worked out the method! I was about 5 seconds away from purchasing it from Ellusionist. Man, I would have been really disappointed to pay that amount of money for a $2 prop. Thank you for assisting! If it weren't for your referral link, I would never have gotten the method.
great video!
Thanks! I really appreciate it 🙌
Great Review Great Deck!
Thank you so much 🙌
Very nice 👍👌
Thank you 🙌! Happy to hear it 😁
sexy editing
Thanks 🙌! I'm so glad you like it ☺️
Awesome buddy⚡️
Thanks! Glad you like it (^_^)
I’m starting Card magic late in life, looking to set up my practice area soon! Nice video.
That's awesome though, welcome to the club! Both the card magic club, and the "starting late in life" one 😂. And thank you for your comment, I appreciate it (^_^)
Thank you for the review!
Thank you for the cards 🙌♥️
Well. There will be 3 more in this series. :)
I think this is the last deck in the High School series
What a ridiculous deck of cards!
😂 So much in this one for sure 🙌
great video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
love the videos, you inspiring me to make my CZcams channel!
Thanks! I appreciate it (^_^)
I just ordered 2 this gives me hope
Good luck 🤞🤞
Amazing
Thank you 🙌
I got these Dealergrips scene cards that are exclusive and haven’t seen anyone else pull them yet
Nice one 🙌
Geoff Babbits. You were sent a mystery pack full of rubbish!
One person's trash is another's treasure (^_^)
5:12 "I would start with an explanation that touches on meditation...." ...and goats? In any case: very nice review. Thank you!
🐐🐐🐐
just found the channel. love the videos!
So glad you stumbled across it and enjoy it (^_^)
i had the same reaction to pulling the white overlooks
I'm still happy I pulled it, it's such a nice deck =]
Eagle 🦅? it’s a owl 🦉 !!! The back design sucks! It’s a store logo. Only green with one owl on each corner would’ve been sexy 😃
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...). But the green and gold is 😍
Are these limited print
I believe so, yes.
Just a heads up: the giveaway has ended (and a winner chosen + contacted). Keep being awesome, and stick around for more deck reviews, magic, and giveaways!
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!
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.
Mazeback is nice
It's pretty great, right?! 😍
Super creative where’d you get them
This deck was from a Kickstarter campaign, but it looks like it's available on Etsy (shop: ShyBrainsGetNowt)
Those are nice. W transition.
Thank you (^_^)
I like the maze back slightly better and I need that one to complete my pair. I already pulled the carpet backs from a mystery deck.
That white tuck is so fantastic 😍
The Henry and sally cards actually have 6 different back designs
🤯🤯🤯
both are great decks but I'll go with the carpet back
It's a great deck, right?! 😍
It does some awesome fans
Thanks for the amazing review! I like the Hedge Maze a lot. Not only the design but I also really have a soft spot for black and white designs 🖤🤍
It's such a great looking deck 😍
The maze back look so clean.. but i prefer the carpet back 🤩.. nice content... keep going 😍
Thanks (^_^). And yeah, that carpet back deck is oh so nice ❤️
