I guess I'm the only person not interested. I don't like strange cards, and these cards look really strange. Am I the only one who sees the irony in the following scenario?
Spec 1: "He's using a trick deck."
Magician: "No, I'm not. These are just normal cards."
Spec 1: "No they're not. I've never seen cards like that."
Magician: "But they're not. Here, look."
Spec 1: "Yep. They don't look like regular cards to me"
Magician: "But they're just regular--"
Spec 2: "Yeah, he's using trick cards."
Magician: "Really, they'e just--"
Spec 3: "Those cards do look pretty funny."
I also don't see what adding shadows really accomplishes. I think the cards themselves look ok, but I don't see what the big deal is and what everyone is going nuts over.
