Has anyone used the Tiger Deck?

Here are some good threads regarding the Black Tiger Decks:

They are great! Beautiful and well made. I got mine from http://www.xtremehandz.com

Very quick and great service.

I received mine in the mail today. Since it's late I don't have much time to play with them yet. They are very nice but not something you'd use over a regular deck (as your primary deck).

I bought a pack yesterday and found them to be very nice cards. Straight out of the box I did a nice fan which really looked impressive with the inverted colours.

Today I played around with it a bit more and then tried some routines but realised that using them as your normal deck just doesn't look right. Doing a quick ambitious card routine and twisting the aces made me realise that having the normal colours seems more impressive. In the end I wasn't sure if the right card was coming to the top because they all look the same, just black with a little white.

I noticed that, too. I think they were designed more for flourishes, like you found out. That, and attention getters. Wow, do they get attention!

They certainly do!

I don't use them in tricks, they're like my collection item.

Here we go again...

Was it the Four of Clubs ? (in joke!!!)

Wellington it's a very good looking one, but I wouldnt use it for real life, if you know what I mean.
Imagine, if you do a card magic trick with that kind of deck it looks tottally suspicious for the audience, because it doesent looks like a regular deck.

Here is a use for the Tiger Deck that some may find interesting. I use the Invisible Deck, along with a “normal” deck.

I ask someone to select a card and to turn in up side down and place it in the deck. I tell them to place the cards back in the box and place their hand on the box, on the table or between their hands.

I then remove the Invisible Deck from my pocket and ask them to tell me their selected card (that they turned over and are holding down.) The box that holds my Invisible Deck is the same color as the one they are holding down.

However, the Invisible Deck cards are made from the Tiger Deck.

Somehow, the Tiger Deck makes perfect sense when used in this presentation. And, unlike using them as your regular working cards, this presentation works very well.

I don't see the point of the tiger deck. it's a novelty, like something I'd buy at spencer gifts
