I think they're all nice cards, you definitely gave me some new picks to add to my collection. I didn't know about the bicycles either. great job.....keep it up! thanks
:D
thanks for this video David. I don't really know much about theory 11 or their cards, so this was a great way for me to get introduced. Love that contraband deck!
:D
My fav deck is the citizens, not only does the tuck box look cool, but the cards actually have gold ink printed on them as opposed to a b&w deck like the others
Was waiting for this, thank you!
What can I say except "you're welcome"
Great List! For cardistry ( I ask this alot I know ) , If I were to get cards only from either only theory11, only ellusionist, or only the standard Bicycles (dragonback,stargazer,other custom decks made by bicycle) which one should I choose?
always buy what YOU like
Thanks for the reviews. Some great ideas. I also like there Arch Angels for everyday use.
great deck !!!
Doug Kirk I spilt water on my arch angels :(
Thanks for the review David. Purely for the whimsical design and departure from the norm I would have added the Animals deck somewhere, but nevertheless a great top 10.
One thing I could contribute that I love about Theory 11 decks is most Barnes and Noble bookstores carry them. So it's an easy way for people to get their hands on them.
Thanks again David!
Agreed
Love these videos. Keep em up!
I will
artisan is my favorite deck ever its sooo beautiful and it feel like heaven thx for the awesome review like always
Great deck
I do enjoy your top tens. As a collector it does keep me up to date. For me it's the Monarchs, every time
Agreed!
:D
Great top 10.... I need to add some Theory 11 decks to my collection... currently only have decks by Ellusionist and the Chris Ramsey Memento Mori deck..... stay caffeinated.....
:D
The Medallions are the most beautiful decks from theory11 .An insanely handsome deck of cards. Great feel and design all across the spectrum.I love these cards from the detail on the box to the cards. Beautiful deck, attention to detail, and great feel.
Yes they are!
I agree. I got ine for myself and never stopped using it till now.
I like your review, and love the theory 11 decks. That being said, a pet peeve of mine I presume but I wish more deck reviews would display the unique aspects of the front of the cards, particularly the jokers and ace of spades.
I do in my indepth reviews
Design wise I do like the Contraband better, but handing wise it's Monarchs all the way. My Contraband deck seemed to wear down really really quickly, like after only a week of light use, so maybe I just got a bad pack. How do you rate your top 10? Is it only off of looks, or also off of feel?
Uh.... I rate them by what I like better?
Hi, is there a way you can provide a top 10 decks that provide a blank card instead of a double backer ? Only one I've found in my collection was one David Blaine and one theory 11 (aristocrat) but every else from theory 11 are double backers .. thanks in advance .
oh wow - no, I don't keep a record of that info
top tens are always a way to find mew decks love them... thaks
YW
Which deck would you say handles the best in your opinion?
any deck made by Bicycle - remember there are probably only 4 major card printers in the world - and each one prints their cards the EXACT same way. So "handling" is really a myth that the "sellers" create to get you to buy their product.
For me, top 2 T11 are Black Centurions and Monarchs. JAQK Series is also great choice. However, they're quite expensive.
Good addition !!!
Theory 11 NPH deck is excellent!
YES IT IS !!!
Good video and greetings from Panama. My favorite is the Nomad :) I have a question, the Mailchimp are not Theory 11?
Mail chimp is a brand that collaborated with T11 to make a deck. It is not an independent T11 design
Thanks for the information
I have most of the T11 decks in the list. Here is my opinion on usability in 3 categories.
Magic - Artisan, Tycoon, Bikes. They have classic aesthetics and the durability is there for a longer use (tycoons seem to clump faster then the others, at least in my experience) they also don't give off the "trick deck" feel that lay would expect.
Cardistry - Monarch, rarebit, citizen, nomad (all look good in motion and flourish)
Hybrid - tycoon, rarebit, monarch, Fallon, contraband.
Great comment !!!
Do you have a prefrence between ellusionist and t11??? Also whitr artisan are better in my taste than the black ones.
I like them both because they ONLY use USPCC for printing
I'm with David Copperfield artisans are my favourit
ok
what do you think is the most intricate design on a plying card?
wow I'd have to think about that one
love you reviews
:D
Contraband is by far my favourite
awesome
Great decks. For me, monarchs go Top two. They just have that feel that something magical is about to happen when you pull them out. Although I don't see why people love JAQK so much, they definitely could be Top ten.
Good point
Top 10 decks from LPCC (Legends Playing Card Company)?
that'd be hard since a lot of designers use LPCC as well... something to think about
Your's no1 is the same as mine. Contraband is a great deck in every way. Look. Finish. Handling.
:D
Great Review. Have you ever thought about designing a deck?
yes
Let us know when you come out with your own deck. I would like to see them for sure!!!! Thanks David!
I'd need a much bigger fan base.... maybe one day
Right on. Well if you do come out with a deck of playing cards I will definitely buy a brick. HaHa!!!
Theory11 makes some of the most elegant decks. Random place to ask, but have you checked out Daniel Madison's anthology book?
I wish... too pricey for me though
magicorthodoxy that's what I was as well, just can't justify that much on one book right now. Plus I'm an amateur hobbyist, not a working magician.
Have you ever had a chance to see a Eleven Madison Park Monarch deck in person?
nope
have you grabbed the Jimmy Fallon ones yet? i haven't got any yet.
Nope - have not
Man, very good review, but i would've loved if you moved camera a bit further away and closed in only when showing deck details(statically), i feel dizzy after watching this.
LOL
The artisans are my top 1. they are just the nicest most elegant deck of cards
they're great !!!
Great Top 10. How about a Dan and Dave Top 10? :)
great idea
magicorthodoxy yea do dan and Dave next please!!!
I don't own one (yet), but the navigators look very nice.
True
Decks by whatever company makes the crown decks
The Blue Crown? Love em !!
can you review the madison hard backs ?
at $195? I don't have that kind of money. I'm sure it's great.
magicorthodoxy hahah okay I think it's juuust a little bit over priced for a close/shuffle- pad 😅😂
magicorthodoxy could you review a more affordable closeup pad?
I got mine from Amazon - just a neoprene surface $15
which one is the best for magic tricks
They're all equal
Phoenix
Medallions are my favourite.
great cards !!!
Do you know if Theory 11 has gaff cards.
I dont believe so
I didn’t think so. I even went on there web site and didn’t find anything. I got their Star Wars deck and it’s obvious that the cards are little more thinner than the bicycle standard decks do you know if theory 11 makes a standard thickness card like the bicycle standard and if so which ones.
You should have hands on every deck of card so that viewers will know the quality of the cards.
No mention of the JAQK Cellars. Those are some amazing cards.
El Boogie true, but a commission work, not a true "theory11" deck
For me no matter what Monarchs are always no 1
Great !
No custom pips as always, but i love peeping my friend's cards when playing, so yea
pips & peeping?
magicorthodoxy standard pips make it easier to peep anyone cards when play a game i mean
peep
magicorthodoxy i mean "peek" sorry my english ain't good
I know its kinda late but...
Instead the tycoons i would put the union deck because it has a very cool idea behind it :)
:D
Medallions,Monarchs,Citizens,Nomad,Hudson,Contraband,Artisan.
great list
Dont get me wrong the tycoons are very nice but i dont know what it is, they just dont impress me as much as all of the other theory11 decks. Same goes for the medallions, very nice decks, handle well but again that wow factor just isn't there for me. I have to say I absolutely love the Rarebits, they're probably my favourite. Then contraband, citizens and monarchs are in my top 5
Great comment
Top ten of eleven. Whao.
HA HA - it should have been a top 11 !!!!
Ha there are more than eleven. not by many but yeah
amazeballs
lol
archangels are my fav
:D
No views and 2 likes... I like it
You do?
For me its the neil patrick harris deck
ok
Should of done a top 11 for this one.
LOL
magicorthodoxy great video man!
They are top 10 shiniest decks :)
+Drew Mordecai bling bling
what about Virtuoso deck
Great deck... not a Theory 11 deck
I have a soft spot for the Propagandas because of the design.
Top ten expert playing card company decks
Wow - too many to chose from they've made so many
magicorthodoxy but your personal top ten
magicorthodoxy do top 10 ellusionist decks

Top 10 karnival decks?
wow, I don't even think I own 10
magicorthodoxy they are usually pretty rare but would be cool if you could make one
I think I only have 5 or 6. But they have a new deck coming out
Love the tucks and the cards, but just wish they would do something different...
t11?
magicorthodoxy Yep
at least they always print with USPCC (I think they're the last company that hasn't cheaped out)
magicorthodoxy true, i’ve no problem with how the cards handle, I just find the design a bit repetitive: always a dark coloured tuck case with gold emboss and a dark coloured back design with lines and shapes. That being said, I still love the OG monarchs.
p.s. i think art of play has stuck to USPCC all this time too?
no jaqk deck ?
JAQK was a deck for a winery.... it's good, but I wouldn't call it a true T11 deck
No JAQK Cellars? :)
cause they're not really a "true" Theory 11 deck.
As for me, number 1 would be Union, the most custom T11 deck out there. I do appreciate T11's intricate designs, but I have a feeling the company is stuck doing the same stuff over and over: overly designed art-deco decks. NPH collab looks almost as the new Jimmy Fallon collab, and I find it hard to distinguish Artisan, Tycoon and Nomad decks
I also miss JAQK decks in this list, and Bad Robot and Players are top notch decks
Plus other companies have their own T11 "wanna be" decks - Ellusionist has Aurelian, D&D has "Sons of Liberty" etc
Yes, I also do feel that Aurelians were just an Ellusionist response to T11's decks. But overall, the company behind the cards rarely matters, all that matters is the factory, the designer, and the man handling the deck
Theory11 also do charity decks, which I appreciate greatly. Charity: Water and Animal Kingdom are great ideas
agreed - T11 has always been pretty fair and stand up IMO
Y u no add mailchimp playing cards to the list they look better than number ten
eh, mailchimp was a collaboration between mailchimp and Fuzzco .. not really a true in house T11 deck, but it's a great deck
High victorian's should have been on there
too bad the high victorians came out a year AFTER I made this video - LOL
Sorry didn't pay attention to the date. Nice video though
top 10 elusioinist decks
Don't forget to use the "search feature" to find what you're looking for czcams.com/video/O0TdvVPoBxo/video.html
Many of these decks are ordinary cards in fancy boxes. Two out of three Theory 11 decks I have purchased have had the backs either printed or cut off-center. I like the 007 cards and the Citizens but won’t be buying very many of the others. I had a Hudson deck that was terribly off-center.
agree
Can't find the rebels anywhere
They're always sold out
ebay?
@@magicorthodoxy some guy is selling one for $60
yea .. no thanks
High victorian, man
Im sure its the best
ok
Where are the Navigator playing cards
LOL didn't those come out in 2020? This video is from 2017
Lol, oh they might have
why was monarch 9 not 1?
because it's not my favorite?
@@magicorthodoxy I was happy to finally see someone who does not put monarchs in number one. Everyone always just calls monarchs the best deck.
95% of the cool factor of these decks is the box. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I play with the cards, not the box. I don’t care about an intricate box if the card back is black and white and the pips/court look the same as a $1 deck.
GREAT COMMENT
I know right?
Totaly agree, that's why I prefer the Aurelians from bicycle for exemple. GOLD EVERYWHERE 😂
Yeah, you’re right in many cases. I can only look at the box for just so long and then the cards better be good.
Top ten bee decks
Bee decks? They make more than one Bee deck?
magicorthodoxy I mean as in bee regular, honeybee by ellusionist, bee stingers etc
50% of all decks made from USPCC are made from Bee stock.... or you just want a "bumble bee" themed top 10?
magicorthodoxy sure bumble bee why not
Wheres the Union deck?
GREAT DECK !
magicorthodoxy yeah def one of my favorites. Btw how did you create your short intro. Its sick
its a generic template
Madison Players?
Great deck
Craband
what what?
WHERE ARE THE HIGH VICTORIANS AT?!?!??
THIS VIDEO IS FROM 2017 !!!!!!!
Oh... lol my bad
The nhp is not on top 10? Why
this video is 3 years old ......
@@magicorthodoxy Ohh try and did you try it finally what you think about it?
Monarchs and Tycoons must switch places...... Monarchs are literally the best playing cards in the world......Apart from that, great picks...😉
Monarchs are kinda like the LA Lakers
magicorthodoxy Meaning......???? Not a big basketball fan
Lakers always win...
ok
KO
I don't like tycoons, navigators are far superior
ok
I dont lile tycoons at all sentinels are much better
okee dokee
You really need to talk about handling. That's the biggest factor. We can all see what they look like, so your video adds nothing there.
Asked - answered: czcams.com/video/b-qOcpwkQdg/video.html
I understand your reasons for not commenting on it btw. But you'll say 'this card is this thick'. Okay... Well why not use words like 'soft' 'smooth' 'rigid'. Maybe comment on durability. I mean it's not all just 'well my opinion will be subjective so I can't say anything. Why not use descriptive language just to give an idea?
Or if you're going to do the measurement comparison, why not say 'this deck handles a lot like this other deck'?
I do..... all the time. How many of my videos have you watched? There is also a chart in the details below so that you can find your favorite deck and see where it falls ....
I only see stuff about how thick the cards are. As in your measurements. Nothing about what I was talking about
