EXPERT PLAYING CARDS - Are they worth it??

[@ChrisRamsay52]

What is your FAVORITE deck and who makes it?

[@Dylan-rc2cg]

Chris Ramsay Killer bees for sure.

[@mikeyslusher5322]

The rocket one you guys made

[@jamieknott6217]

My favourites are the first playing cards but I'm not sure who makes them???

[@Poobear710]

Stripe playing cards

[@vernon29302930]

You did a video the other month on where to find cheap cards. In saying that, my favourite cards are the $2 casino over stock packs from the mom and pop dollar stores. They feel worn in right from the start. Thanks for the tip! Haha

“Kinda glad there are only a thousand of these out there” Straight savage Chris

Palming the queen of clubs at 12:50ish was seriously impressive

[@Coolguy20732]

Literally how the fuck, ive watched it so many times at .25x speed and it still makes no sense

[@haydenlacour3965]

Diagonal palm shift Alex pandrea (sorry if that’s not how his name is spelt) has a tutorial

[@-runswithbeer-8075]

Chris, just wanted to tell you I LOVE the channel. I first started watching your puzzle videos and never thought I would be watching magic and card reviews! Thanks for the great content!

[@thealphabeaver298]

I've been practicing magic for a little while, I'm not expert by any means but your channel is hands down the best. Plus it's super entertaining, plus I've been learning all my flourishes and card controls have become so much more natural and slight thanks for the help!!! I've been binging every episode learning all I can to improve. Also thanks for some of the best card controls (in my opinion) in the business

[@makaylas6175]

Coolest channel I’ve ever stumbled upon. Binge watching seriously every video. The quality is amazing and every video is so interesting. Love it and happy I subscribed

[@dl7775]

Cellophane is a pet peeve of mine as well and those had cellophane inside of cellophane! I love how you couldn't give a scheisse about the "rarity" or "value" of the decks. I mean, why but them if just to sit on a shelf or in a box? I couldn't agree more about the skull and bones disco ball cards. Just goes to show, people will buy any thing for any price if it's hyped enough and "limited" enough. Thank for another great video.

[@nicholasdolan4794]

What does pet peeve mean?

[@dl7775]

Nicholas Dolan it means something that drives you crazy. It's usually something small and insignificant to most people but it drives you crazy to deal with it.

[@philipwilson7062]

I loved his disco ball comment haha

[@LastoftheMofreakins]

I agree, the skull and bones deck was kinda garbage from a "standing still" look but... the shimmer during the cardistry was a neat visual on camera. I wouldn't buy them for what little cardistry I can do but if I got better, who knows? But I wouldn't perform even my beginner (cause that's all I know) magic tricks with them. Such a shame too, because I loved the red and silver motif.

[@matts7726]

🤔 why would they not make the king/queen/jack/ and joker cards skeletons???

[@claireisabella7186]

HOLO. The skull and bones backing was holo

[@justinwaltermire3366]

My favorite are the gold monarchs and I'm super glad that you're starting to make more cardistry videos. Keep up the good work!

[@buffalosauce2072]

The parts with hands and cards with music is so relaxing and interesting. Can you make a montage of just that?

[@PhantomKuroba]

Im glad you're honest with your opinion and not just obligatory giving everything a good review. I feel the same way about the skull and bones cards

[@fabiorodrigues3032]

Hey Chris. I've always enjoyed being an spectator of magic card tricks and I'm glad I found your channel. Loving it. Keep up the great work and fun atmosphere, you got a new fan.

[@seanjerome6837]

My hopes were shattered when you opened the Skull and Bones deck! My favorite deck so far (I'm super new to card magic...or magic in general) is a toss up between MailChimp and the Madison Ramsay Knights.

[@gonzalopaniagua3869]

I really love the NOC V3 , in fact, the first deck I bought in a magic shop were some purple NOC V3, along some blue aviators I love your videos man, I've progressed a lot with your tutorials, thanks for everything !! Greetings from Perú!!! Ps. You should do a latinamerica tour 👀

[@loganthompson7314]

Chris Ramsay, you are my favorite magician. I love your videos, especially the ones with your clone in a flannel. You inspire me to be a magician, and thank you for helping me know more about cards. (I mainly do card tricks) I just wanted you read this and know theres one more fan out there that loves your videos. I follow you on Insta, and I'm subscribed to you. Thank you for making videos for magicians like me.

[@BigJayH3]

I like the smooth edges on the EPCC decks, I hate how most USPCC decks have very rough edges and are cut off centered. My favorite cards are STUDS.

[@gbiscuits]

Half my cheap bicycles are off centered.

[@ChillPillDyl]

@@gbiscuits know this is an old comment, but even my nicer decks are off centered ha

[@danielridwan482]

10:42 The text written on the deck is from a song called "Through the valley - Shawn James" beautiful song! I found it cool that they used that on the deck!

[@KaitouKaiju]

Daniel Ridwan It's from the Bible. Psalm 23.

[@josejesuscontrerassalazar9140]

I like the design of the Skull ones. They look great for a good night of poker hands with the fellas.

[@DIonutAlex]

7:42 was that editing or are you just that fast holy cow !!! that's amazing if it was you i'm gonna make a gif out of it, may i ?

[@zakshah3480]

So glad the stud finish was good, I miss studs, and I like that they piqued your interest

[@douglascarducci6977]

I find these card videos strangely soothing to watch ..I just can't put my finger on it as to why...like a stress ball or something

[@hn361]

"Let's put a laser show on the back of the card" LOL 😂😂😂

[@discychannel]

Totally feel you Chris! I hate the plastic on the cards too!

[@The_Promised1]

Love your content, your the reason I got into cards and card tricks. Thank you.

[@shimbark1250]

never seen a deck review-like vid with presenting three decks,what a cool way for a deck review vid,one vid = 3 decks,watanays

[@calebgrant3615]

AAYYY fun video to watch man. Recently started magic 2 months ago and I just want to say thank you for all your amazing videos and for inspiring me to take up magic.

[@ChrisRamsay52]

+Caleb Grant keep at it! 👊

[@MrYehia80]

Psh hey Chris if you really hate those cards I wouldn't mind taking them off your hands

[@mcgregor2348]

Lol me to

[@aravpatel3795]

It’s odd but I kinda like the laser show on the back but I think think they would look absolutely amazing if it was a little less intense

[@jenntotheferrr]

i dig those skull and bones cards so hard. the holographic details are super cool to me, love it. all three of these decks have sweet designs to me though. thanks for tge video!

[@quentinscott7029]

Ayyee it always puts a smile on my face when i pull a foil from a booster pack

[@giacomocecot1519]

Thx Chris Always inspiring! I think my favourite decks are Madison for Erdnase and Cherry casino black but is also true that there are many decks I never had in my hands ...

[@angiethompson4273]

Love the second deck ,and your choice and the last deck very evil just like me. 👍

[@MichaelGriffin9]

Thx for helping me not waste my money. I totally value your opinion due to your super smooth handling of decks.😎

[@benjaminduchow9470]

I am in love with your filming technique!!! Great videos!!

[@miss_magicunknownxx6143]

Love this video Chris really gives us an insight on what is worthy of buying or not 👍🏻👌Thankyou appreciate it!!❤️

[@dannyenghauser5158]

Hey, Chris. So I used to really be into magic (specifically card tricks), but now I'm focusing more on music. I would have phases of being into magic, but they faded. I found a new passion for cards and that was collecting. I may not love practicing and performing magic as much as I used to, but your videos are always fun to watch whether it comes to magic, the impossible puzzles, or your card collections. The first video I ever watched of yours was a collection video. Moral of the story is that I have been inspired to do the same and I have been a fan since. I have also been wondering what decks you recommend the most when it comes to collecting? Keep up the good work! Best wishes from Chicago, IL.

[@roggleroggle4606]

I felt this way when I got my momento mori cards in the mail. They felt so different from the bicycle cards I’m used to but now they are my favorite cards to perform with. I think you can get used to just about anything with enough time.

[@crustsatanas2136]

Is it just me or do Chris’s eyes look hypnotizing on this lense

[@caleblopez6839]

Always the great quality content I subscribed for!

[@veisszero]

Dang Skull and Bones looked amazing to me

[@SpydersByte]

haha same, and I thought the Chosen deck was ugly as hell

[@srwsrwsrw6363]

Where can I get those skull and bones cards with that case, so cool!

[@MaxDiamond]

Favorite deck right now is the Inspire deck from Alex Pandrea!! #RamFam where you at

[@rebeccawolfe5411]

Can you please teach me your great cardness? Your flurishes are so on point!!!

[@lanestrand8618]

My favorite deck is the Vintage Plaid by Dan and Dave. Gotta love em!

[@liamcourt4601]

dude the videos quality feels extremely dope!!!!!

[@Darlene.nails.]

The chosen ones when you were testing them almost had a sexiness to them. The skull and crossbones ones where just beautiful.

[@dl7775]

I can't wait to be as smooth and fast at stealing a card out of the deck like you did with the queen toward the end! I love your vids and I could watch you play with cards all day, but damn it's demotivating to think of how many more 1000's of hours I need to put in just to be almost that good LOL

[@adamdippel7982]

Chris! You mentioned Magic the Gathering, so I was wondering if you have any cool ways to shuffle a sleeved deck, if you know what I mean. Love your puzzle videos and card flourish tutorials!

[@senoreverything6366]

Tight like a... tiger??? Are...are tigers known for being tight? Is this a turn of phrase I've never heard before?

[@spama1amb954]

Holy moly Chris! Even at 240p, you still look HD. I am baffled!

[@christopherzimmerman5104]

The chosen deck just from a design stand point are beautiful. Not crazy about the rest and it's hard to tell without holding them.

[@emilymorgan3567]

Could you be more Canadian with your McDonald’s hockey cards?

[@vincentprice9156]

You're an amazing talent, I could watch you flip cards all day. Id'e LOVE to learn just some of those tricks

[@3llevate]

Hey Ramsay! Could you do a small bit on card vernacular for noobs like myself here? Like what do you mean by clump? What are soft vs cardstock better for? Aside from esthetic and preferences, are there specs that really affect certain tricks or skills.. maybe a little visual montage of the main moves and how they compare close-up with différents decks/textures/types of cards.. I know there are probably loads of videos on KZbin with those kinds of basics but I love your style/voice/editing/shots/music etc.. and l would definitely enjoy that

[@danilodmz]

I liked the reference of Magic The Gathering! lol ...I liked the "chosen" by the way!

[@lemonyapple]

Thanks for the quick reviews, bought the Exquisite Bolder last week because I just love the originals (which I don't have). A little disappointed that they aren't hot stamped like the originals, but still looks quite nice :)

[@joshuaburch382]

While you are looking at cards with different finishes and stocks that are different from the USPC, you should check out Fournier.

[@draimbot9654]

yo brother I love your videos I use bicycle deck.any you are the best. I know some tricks everything learnt from your videos.love you brother💗💗💗

[@fox_tkv3254]

Oh my God i'm watching this video in 2019 and i love your songs bro I've loved you

[@kaibe5241]

Really dig the design on those Chosen cards.

[@Prince_Luci]

Oh those Chosen ones are gorgeous.

[@illuminatedthings9759]

yes!! Do you know where I can get them ?

[@andrerichardson]

I say tuyyyght like a tiger too... love the the Austin Powers ref...

[@Titch1987gaming]

What you had to go through there with the wrapping is what I went through and more with the knights when I bought them.. and you praised those.. lol the tab would not tear around.. I had to pick at it and get a knife under the folds.. it was soooooo bad.. loved the cards tho

[@MaxJustice]

Hey.. I love your content. I think all the people who do deck reviews should see your video and learn a thing or two about how to review a deck. My favourite deck is Tally Ho made by USPC.

[@timsantiago1441]

Right now my favourite deck are the Killer Bees made with Cartamundi B9 linen finish

[@xenonhawk9748]

Hey, Chris I know that you may have just been doing random stuff at 6:45, but could you teach some stuff that we can do while the cards are still in the deck box? Flourish or magic, your choice.

[@prncblxr8386]

hope i met you in person broo.. so inspiring .. your lifestyle .. the how you style your wearing and those playing tricks :D

[@Mean-Gene]

Speaking of cool cards. Lets get some love on those Leons that Chris Mayhew has going on kickstarter. Its running down and needs some love to fund. Nice classy remake of the Dr Leons. Shameless plug, i hope they fund.

[@alessandrobellato725]

Always the best Chris🔥🔥🔥

[@arjVSwild]

I will say Expert Playing Cards, have some nice ass cases, the side open looks clean and that half open is something I expect from like a phone, really cool looking. Out of the three shown I really liked the chosen set if buy them myself if I could find the damn things

[@unapologeticallypatriotic3853]

Man your shirt reminds me of that "half washed" commercial where your "V" neck is more like a "U" neck hahaha

[@RealNeckster]

my favorie ist the monarchs blue deck.... i like the skull n bones back... gives a little bling bling in ur performances XD

[@minecraftaxolotlplushchann7787]

I still think about buying more playing cards and also I liked all the cards that you showed.

[@zachgrayling3386]

Just found your channel! Amazing content and loving all the cardistry tricks

[@cidhorta8705]

Awesome video Chris!

[@DJDarkGift]

My Favorite Expert Deck is the Laura London Signature NOC Deck.

[@griimzz2975]

My fav cards are either the red wheels by art of play/Dan&Dave or virtuoso launch edition.

[@anthonyhawk8174]

I definitely care. HAHA. Nice upgrade buddy...Love The Cards!!!!!!! I would wait another Year for your cards man. Rock On Chris Ramsay

[@Noah-cb5gh]

Maiden backs are my favorite cards

[@ghostboy9648]

I loved the skull ones I do understand his point but I like it

[@dominicviolo9934]

i died when ramsey said "glad theres only a thousand of them out there"

[@angelemmanuelperezmuniz1474]

I normally don't remove the plastic wrap all the way. I leave on the bottom part to protect the deck of wear and tear.

[@BrightonsPriest]

Bicycle club tattoo with the late Chester Bennington designs. Is my fav deck only have 1 left though 😭

[@thecryptidhunters3807]

My favorite deck is Memento Mori by Chris Ramsay at the moment, but I'm getting a ton of cards from Ellusionist soon so who knows if the king will be dethroned.

[@landonduval458]

My favourite deck is the bicycle stargazer ( I know it’s not rare but I still like it)

[@Dancolemusic]

The skull and crossbones’ tuck case had me like “oooooooo me likey” then I saw the back of the cards 💀

[@calen3152]

Hey Chris, could you review some LPCC (and/or other companies') cards?

[@shallinexuxi6654]

This is so satisfying to watch

[@huskizebra8267]

Hey Chris will you be teaching that small flourish at the minute 5:34 ? It honestly looks amazing and i would like to see a tutorial on that

[@okaythisisepic7013]

HuskiZeBrA he's doing Flicker and Bullet at the same time

[@palmcoasthoward]

ahhh you killed me . I thought I was on top of things and purchased 4 decks of the Red Skull & Bones deck . I immediately liked the box & I didn't want to be on the outside looking in when I found out only 1000 were printed . I came here all but expecting your five star review to confirm my purchase ...... Epic Fail . Anyway I like them for my own collection but I'm far from a cardist or magician so I trust your opinion of them over my own . Happy New Year .

[@arctodus1]

Hey man, if you could also look at some cards from Legends Playing Card Company too. It'd be great to see your opinion on them, because I personally love them.

[@RocketDraco47]

The red skull deck looked sick as fuck I thought honestly, they might look better on screen though

[@johnquiao5196]

Hi chris im john fredrick from philppines tnx for your tutorials hope you continue your tutorials cause i want to know more

[@BRoyce69]

i like those skull and bones backing, but the foil should be all shine or no shine. just a standard silver foil with like a semigloss or semimetalic

[@dsmith4260]

That's the best part about McDonald's in Canada you can get hockey cards..not here in the states though...every time I went to Canada for hockey when I was younger I used to love that.

[@gracehampton7036]

3:23 my winky was a key 🔑!

[@seanconnor1714]

Hey Chris, Do you know of any cardistry moves that can seamlessly flow back into itself to create a "infinite packets" kind of illusion? If so, could you teach it? I'm having a hard time finding something. Great vid, much love!

[@juhovuorela8623]

Sean Connor Spin Sybil by Jaspas does this and it's suitable for beginners. It's taught on School of Cardistry's yt channel :)

[@seanconnor1714]

That looks rad, but it still has an "end" sort of speak... I was kind of looking for something that could be seemingly infinite; Like where you would normally close up the packet, it is also back into its initial state where it could be performed again on a loop (that looks good).

[@juhovuorela8623]

Sean Connor Antoine's Squall can be looped (it's really hard tho)

[@juhovuorela8623]

Schokoladenpuddingmann oh yeah looper definitely

[@seanconnor1714]

Looper is pretty cool, but it doesn't have the effect of infinite packets (It's still very obviously the one packet rolling around). I'll still be adding it to my "to learn" list for sure.

[@guitarman14339]

Stellar content as usual. I do have a quick question and I totally understand if you don’t get to it. I am trying to find a forum (possibly “auction”) website for cards and while I have found a few I’m hesitant to post anything so I thought I’d ask you if you know of any trustworthy sites. I came across a deck of blue rider back Cincinnati bicycles. They are opened but I noticed that there is a flaw in the cut causing the short side borders to not be even (one is thicker than the other) and I am looking to possibly sell them if they still have any value. The cards themselves are also practically new condition. Again, I loved the video and look forward to your next one. Have a great day/week/month/year/life.

[@gazinggoat5869]

Did Chris Ramsey just do jump cut magic? 10:57 It's such an easy slight! Why Chris!?!
