“cardfreak”,no offense,but you are a total idiot. First of all ,the Vintage 1800s dont look “old and musty”. They look mystical and ancient. Peeing on your cards (thats really disgusting by the way)would in no way give you the same effect and beauty that these cards radiate. Second of all ,if your friend couldnt get the audience to see the awsomness of the cards, he is a really awful magician or a really sucky preformer. Simply too many times to mention, i’ve just taken out my vintage decks on the streets and people will actually stop and comment how cool the cards are or ask were i got them. I have one piece of advice for you “cardfreak”. In the future, stick to posting about stuff were you actually know what you’re talking about. It was really hard to see any revelant intelligence at all in this post. Better luck next time and have fun peeing on your cards. Peace

everyone who says vintage 1800s is stupid,i dont really see the point in making you cards look old and musty, if you want that beautiful yellowish hue then just pee on them and then youll have cards that look and handle like the 1800s. Also my friend got some and looking at him perform was sad- not that he did a bad job, just that the audience didnt notice that the cards were any different. I have black tigers, arcanes, black ghosts v2, and shadowmasters and im never goin back- they all rock.

I don’t believe (personally) that the Black Tiger packs as much visual punch as an ancient worn and mystical-looking Vintage 1800. As i have said before not only do the two decks handle about the same, the Vintage just looks a LOT better. Also people are usuelly more interested in decks that look really old as opposed to just “plain” black decks.Peace

I always get the best responses with casual acting and cards that are colorful (especially with black, red, or a darker blue) or that people don’t usually see such as the “Iraq’s Most-Wanted” cards or Phoenix deck. I got the tiger black pip from magic warehouse and the kid who introduced me to this site had both the vintage and the arcane. I’m used to other types of illusions, coins mostly, but from what I can tell they handle the same (based on the assumption that the black pip is made like the white pip save only the color). I’ve managed to get a succesful faro shuffle with each after a few tries, but from my personal experience the black deck packs more of a visual punch.

Tiger. Better for showmanship, equal on handling.

Its true, Eric S.,that the Black Tigers preform better after a while but thats not to say that the Vintage preforms horribly. You can still do everthing you can do with Black Tigers except those beautiful one-handed fans. You can still cut, flourish and spread the Vintage to your hearts content even after weeks or even months of magic or XCM. I think the long-lasting “new feeling” of the Tigers is counteracted by how the look after a few weeks of use. That being said, the cards do not lock your preformance in your audiances mind. Your magic and quality of preformance do. Peace
