nobody has even mentioned quality.Will they feel and work as well as the master series?I loved the vipers and the shadows but as soon as I pulled them out,people were saying ya!,but can you do that with a real deck which is why I went to the masters.What do we do with all the normal gaffs,are you going to offer to replace all of the old ones for the new ones?Boy ,what a head ache when you consider the giant cards as well.Have you really sat back and thought about how many old gaffs are really out there?Lets see,I started when I was 14.I am now 53.I must have a steamer trunk full of blue gaffs alone.Never tried to estimate the cost but I bet it’s enough for a down payment for a house! I’m also a musician so I dont mind the mandolin too much but like a few before me,I think the overall look is a little girly.Ziggy and roy have retired and even Roy went out in a manly way. Getting his throat ripped out by a tiger.You can’t get more macho than that! Magic’s image is mysterious,macho,scary and downright dangerous.Just the other day I got a paper cut when a card helicoptered on me………..dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont really like this back for every deck. It doesn’t look good. Well, if you want to use it for a certain deck of cards, like a special edition. Its ok. For collection

Compare any new gaff cards using this design on the back to the Ultragaff deck. The Ultragaff deck contains cards that are specific to the angels themselves. ITS THE ANGELS ON BIKES THAT MAKE THEM QUINTESSENTIALLY SPECIAL AND DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER DEKC OF CARDS ON THE MARKET TODAY. Does this mean that USPCC are going to change the name of the deck to MANDOLINS, as I don’t see a bicycle anywhere?!?

The cards are gay. They need to rethink they designs if they have to change them. I agree with Ryan X. Butterflies, seriously, that’s for little girls, we as magicians deserve a masculine type of design.

NO! NO! NO! A THOUSAND TIMES NO! This is outrageous! I love gaff cards, I have a hardcore image and I do NOT want a deck with feathers, hearts, butterflies, and “mandolins”! I REFUSE to let this go unchallenged! This is a chance to make a new standard in the playing card field and I do NOT want it to be this! I am an artist both on the street and on paper, I want to have apart in the design of the deck! I beleive we should have a website created so that we can have people send thier Ideas for the deck so that EVERYONE can have a say in what they will be working with! We are professionals and this is an amazing opportunity, do NOT let it slip away! Soon this chance will be gone!

I don’t like the new Mandolin backs for this reason: The little angel looks like he’s hiding something. He’s taking a posture of concealment behind the mandolin.

This observation is borderline subliminal, I’ll give you that, but I believe that the common, familiar card is better to use than the exotic in card effects. People will notice that the Mandolin back is just a little different from the familiar Rider backs and pay much closer attention.

I hope USPCC changes its corporate mind.

I think the mandolin backs look stupid. A naked looking teen with wings hiding behind a banjo looks pretty odd in my opinion. I also dont like the butterflys on the corners either. Thats my opinion anyways.
