Shadow Masters from ***********

Rex · 01-08-2008, 09:09 PM

The brand new deck from www.***********.com
(well, its the newest one)

Code:

http://www.***********.com/product/accessories/cards/bicycle+shadow+masters.do

Feel: 10/10
Look: 9.5/10
Cost: 7.8/10

Masters are supposedly the highest quality cards on ***********. Now, they made a better-looking version. The cost is like.. what - 6 dollars? That's how much an average custom deck is, and this is an amazing one. However, I still think this is overpriced. That's my opinion, because around where I live, you can buy a normal Bicycle for like $1.50 (US). Although I think its overpriced, its just by a little, because the look and feel of this is great.

The feel is just like a normal Bicycle masters. Wonderful feel, smooth, great for XCM-ers. I wouldn't recommend this for street magic, though because they just seem so fancy and you would probably ruin this expensive deck of cards if you brought it out to the street. Or if you are going to, perhaps you should think about getting a Porper Card Clip.

The look... Wow, this looks astounding! But the only thing I have to say is, the back is kinda too dark for my liking. I like the Black Tiger back better. I think white and black contrast better than black, gray, and black. Also, the ace of spades. *********** could have been a bit more creative, but I guess, since its a Masters deck, they had to keep it the same.... Still... The Jokers are the most beautiful cards in the deck, and one is holding something that says 3 of diamonds. They look very detailed and nice.

Wow, that's long, for those of ya that like detailed reviews.

i like them to i think they r the best looking cards from e, the only thing i don't like is faroing them the after u do it a couple of times u can the stock of the cards (which is white) that kinda makes it look ugly but other then that they r very good cards.

This deck looks pretty sweet. I recently bought the Masters Edition deck (red back) for $20 (in australia...talk about overpriced haha) and haven't had any complaints. I'll check this deck out though.

thinker · 01-15-2008, 12:27 AM

Yes! It would be great for XCM. I like the Masters Edition deck and I like this brand new design, too. I'll probably buy this one.

BTW if anyone else hasn't mentioned this before these are amazing for loop or thread work as the back edges will hide your thread completely

one of my favorite decks

JKDragoon · 04-05-2008, 12:24 AM

It's a great, solid deck to use... I used to like them a lot, but I've grown to like Tally-Ho's better.
Still, my personal favourite would be the Ghost Deck. Same stock as the Master's, but I think it looks WAYYYY bettter...

Nice review and i totally agree.
Its always the same. Great cards but totally overpriced

But they are worth the money!

PhillyDevil · 04-06-2008, 03:11 PM

Yeah, they are very nice cards for ECM, but if you're doing magic they look a little too much like they're gaffed. I don't know maybe its just me, but every time i use a black deck, people get a little skeptical, thinking maybe its a trick deck. Gimme a red back set of bikes or red circle backs, and im good.

I was actually about to say the same thing about people thinking they're gaffed. I do love those cards though, especially the Jokers. $6 is a lot for a deck of cards but I plan on buying them anyway, even though I know I'll probably never use them. They just look too awesome to not have.

jimmos · 04-07-2008, 01:59 PM

i like them, but i just cant stand the worn out edges of black cards

r93 · 04-14-2008, 01:54 PM

Yeah that REALLY gets me to. They go white round the edges. Someone should write to E and say that they should make the middle card layer black, that would stop the problem.

MoonlightKnight · 04-14-2008, 11:57 PM

It looks really cool and to be honest, I expect them to be great! I really haven't been too dissapointed with any decks from E and I bet they are only going to get better. Can't wait to get my hands on some.
