Introduction

     Hello fellow deck collectors, flourishers, magicians, mechanics, artists, and everything in-between. My name is Emmet Tso, I am a card enthusiast and I would like to share my thoughts, on decks that I have had the privilege of owning, using, and experiencing.

     Each deck review will be composed of 4 parts:
     (1) Deck specifications and empirical information about each deck (ie. Stock, color, dimensions, designer, gsm, etc)
     (2) The official description of the deck (if applicable)
     (3) My personal review of the deck
     (4) Pictures of the cards and the unique aspects of the cards

     Please note that part (1) will not be based on my opinion. The various categories for each deck review will be consistent throughout all the reviews for analytical purposes. Some of the specs for the decks will be obvious; other information is researched and presented. In the instance that I post information that researched, I will attach a hyperlink to cite my source. I will do my best to provide an accurate and comprehensive specification list for each deck.
     Part (2) is a copy of the official deck description from either the designer or the printing company.
     The reviews of the decks in part (3) are my personal opinion. This part is subject to my preferences, presumptions, and biases. Every collector, cardist, magician, etc has their own personal tastes and preferences for the design and handling of a deck. I can only give an account of my own experiences and review that which I know. My goal for this part of the deck review is to help the reader to better understand the deck to make an educated decision on whether or not they should invest the money to acquire the deck for personal use or for their collection.
      Part (4) will generally consist of individual photos of the suits, court cards (including aces), and specific pictures pointing out subtleties that make the deck special.

     With all this said, "Caveat Emptor," thank you, and enjoy!
