No Detail Untouched
Designed with precision and Derren’s personal art direction, these cards embody his innovative spirit. Made in the USA with FSC-certified paper, vegetable-based inks, and starch laminates, they’re as sustainable as they are stunning. A tribute to the psychological art of performance!
Cards cut skewed off center and randomly rotated. Off center shows on both sides, but prevalent on back. Not all the same so some cards are identifiable by the closeness to the edge, my crew banned these cards from play as marked.
Otherwise, incredible box, best I own and I love the art on both sides.
very nice cards seel is hard to open nicely
I usually like displaying my decks sideways in the racks and this deck fulfills the requirement. Beautifully designed box that gives you a feel of gilded book. And I ordered them just due to that book like shaped tuck case.
I've already left a comprehensive review below of this deck, but I noticed the review below that Renee Lubert left is absolutely ludicrous, so I had to leave a second review to come to the defense of this deck, which is one of the best that I've ever seen. I have ordered two of these decks, and they both were ordered from this website. They're both perfect, and they both depict the pip arrangement exactly the same as is displayed in the video here. I can't necessarily call Renee a liar without seeing the deck that was purchased; however, this would certainly be the first I've heard of a different edition of these cards floating around out there. It sounds like the below post was done purely from a sour grapes standpoint, so, sorry Renee, I'm going to have to come to the defense of this deck (as well as the good folks here at Playing Card Decks) and call B.S. on your post. #sorrynotsorry
Obviously there are more than one edition of these cards going around. I tried to order these cards first on Amazon and when I got them, they were not the ones show in this video, or most of the other videos I saw. This deck has pips that are in non-standard positions. I thought that was neat, and most of my motivation for purchasing the deck. The rest of the designs on this deck...meh...but the repositioned pips, thumbs up. So like I said, when I got the Amazon deck, the pips were in standard position. Not like in the video on this page. So I write to PCD and ask them if theirs are the ones with non-standard pip placement, because I think I got gypped by Amazon. The only response I got back was "ours are authentic" but they did not mention whether the pip placement on the cards were the same or different. So I take a gamble and with the limited assurance that "ours are authentic" sent for a second deck. When it arrived, it did have a seal that said "first edition" on it. However, when I opened the tuck case... standard pip placement, so in effect I just purchased a second copy of a deck I didn't want the first one of. So, again, obviously there are 2 versions of the Derren Brown deck floating around. With as much as I've spent on the "wrong" ones, I might have gone on eBay to find the "right" one. But just know, this is not the version seen in the video they have on their own page. Thanks, PCD.
