Pretty sleek

The back design looks fantastic and standard faces mostly make it easy for spectators to identify their cards. I'm a fan!

Handles Well

This is a nice deck. Very smooth but stiff at first. The deck is a bit thick so it may take a while to get used to but is great for flourishes and fans. The court cards are standard except for an extra jack of hearts with a reveal card, with Josh Brett himself as the jack, plus an additional blank face card. The number 23 shows up on the ace of spades card as well as the tuck box flaps. The number 23 does have a meaning in mysticism, but I don't know why they use that number in particular. The tuck box has a nice feel to it and the design matches the card backs. The design does have a horizontal bar that bleeds off the card, but fans aren't anything special, although spreads look interesting. It is still a good deck to have though. Only time will tell how long it's going to take to break it in.

Practical and stylish deck for magicians

Deceptive Arts is the brand of magician Josh Brett, and he's incorporated into this deck's design numerous things that are important to him, including various mystical symbols.

A central feature on the tuck box and the symmetrical card backs is a triangle shape that integrates and pays homage to many classic symbols, including the all-seeing eye and the symbol for infinity. Of special interest is how the white border is broken up by a horizontal green line at the top left and bottom right, which helps produce some interesting spreads and fans.

There's a customized Ace of Spades, with the deck's signature green again being a key element, to match the card backs. The two Jokers are also customized, one in black and the other in green. The face cards are largely standard, but there is one notable exception: the Jack of Spades, which features the creator Josh himself! This also has a handy Ace of Spades reveal that magicians will appreciate. As an added bonus, you also get a duplicate of this card, plus a blank card - two gaffs that magicians will welcome and be able to put to good use.

Overall this is a practical and stylish deck that will especially appeal to those with a fondness for card magic.
