Thanks for the video. I have never even noticed the k and x similarly, so I am grateful for the heads up. On behalf of all your non troll customers, we don't consider it a problem with the order of the value and suit. Even more important, we realize if a READER system is to much for you, meaning if you can't make due with a deck that identifies the exact card on the back, cardistry is NOT the Hobby for you. Love that you are using the Belgium Cartamundi cards. They are hot right now.
We need a video tutorial for this marked deck? I bought several of these when it was on sale. I like them because it was cheap. However, I was slightly disappointed with the markings because they were obvious. I was hoping that the marking was some sort of code so that it's impossible for the spectator to figure it out, but that's not the case with these cards. I don't know about you guys, but I much prefer a marking system over a simple A and H for Ace of Hearts. However, the cards are very nice. I like the design and the thin border a lot, but just not the marking.
You should look into the butterflies. Well you should buy them. Fortunately, it is not easy to find out the system without buying them. Trust me, if it stays secret, with practice, you can do wonders with this deck. Truly unique system
@@Jdtackett0226 There is no system to the marking. I have 3 of these decks because they were on sale and cheap for $6 at another website. These decks are almost exactly like the Red Keeper deck. It just plainly say Q/S (queen of spades) or K/D (king of diamonds). If you just look at the card, you can see and interpret the marking. Actually, there is no interpretation needed. It just says it. My point is that, why does marked deck don't go the route of putting in some sort of marking system. Don't be lazy and put A/C on the card for Ace of Clubs. Again, I do like them because they're inexpensive marked deck and they are nice as well. And I do own about 6 different brand/type of marked decks because you can perform AMAZING TRICKS with them.😁 I think the Ellusionist marked Bicycle 1800 marked deck is a bit better because the marking is more disguised and hidden. And it's affordable as well.
Agreed. Way too obvious. Was thinking of buying these for poker night LOL. I'd win every time. But that would be cheating. And way too obvious. My buddies would catch it right away.
Don’t run if you’re not being chased. A muggle will never see these marks or even suspect a marked deck, unless, of course, you slap on thick-lensed glasses and stare intently at the card’s back. A casual handling hides all. And remember: beak = value, wing = suite.
At least they pulled every invoice and got everyone's email and made it right, once they realized they needed to. It is more than I've gotten from other companies. Plus, advertising for marked decks is tricky for sellers because some people think that a deck should have no mentioning of the markings, while others want it shouted to the world. People are going to not be happy no matter what. Thats people, social media, and opinions. ( and of course, the trolls)!
That crossed my mind at first, but I think the camera man was actually looking with his eyes. He had to focus on the card with the camera (obviously, or either reboot it)! Multitasking! Maybe autozoom. Maybe he used mentalism
Thanks. It’s really an all-around good deck for magic. I appreciate the video but it was fairly easy (already knowing it was a marked deck) to figure it out. I will say that owning a deck that you know is marked but you can’t figure it out isn’t fun. There are a couple of decks with quite IMHO impossible-to-read markings and the makers won’t tell anyone how to read the markings. As a magician I consider that a rip-off. So once again thank you for releasing this video.
These are just standard marked cards. There's no tricks taught with them. But if you want to learn all the card magic you need to know, look no further - www.ellusionist.com/tricks/how-to-do-miracle-card-tricks-by-adam-wilber-peter-mckinnon.html
COHORTS blue are my favourite card to handle ,regardless of the marking system (which i barely use ,i dont know why ,it feels like cheating ,anyone else understand what i mean by that ?i dont even fully know ) but this B9 thin stock just keeps on going when your USPCC cards are beaten up and done
I noticed that too. It does say on the truck that they are made in Belgium. I think only Cartamundi prints there. The Cartamundi B9 finish are the trend now. They are thicker but given the stock, texture, feel and small margin of printing error, they are making USPCC actually work now. I m guessing it is either a subcontracted agreement or something similar.
2:07 Its so weird how the British are so bad at English, considering they invented it. There is no such letter as "heisch." When pronouncing the letter H, the first H is SILENT! Resulting in "aich", not "heych" or "heisch" or whatever the fuck you're saying.... Also, there's no Z sound in the word 'us.' Its pronounced "uss," not "uzz." I just got my Cohorts, and while they're a good economy choice (there is good value for your money) they are far from my 1st or even 2nd choice. These are no NKW Cadenza's. These are more on the level of Red Keepers.
Why not lay the cards on a table?! Easier to focus and the cards stay still (easier to see the markings as well).
I've been loving my Cohorts! The markings are great!

After I got the deck I was so satisfied that their marking system was so instinctive yet disguised and that they gave two extra cards
I have started my Magic and Vlog channel. I love ellusionist, you always inspire me for magic
Bro care to sub to sub?
Like the cards!! Very easy to read, even from farther away
Super cool and easy to read. Excellent product. Thanks for that
1st. Thanks for being amazing Ellusionist!!
Got mine through the post today!!!!!!
Whats a "heych"? LOL
like 'H' appy like 'H' en yo flippin duck!
These cards feel the best...top notch.
I use Madison dealers typically for reading but these cards look much easier to read.
in stretched card they reveal this as well

Nice review! Cool deck.
these are so nice!
I don't understand why this wasn't released earlier, when the decks came out.
At least they pulled every invoice and got everyone's email and made it right, once they realized they needed to. It is more than I've gotten from other companies. Plus, advertising for marked decks is tricky for sellers because some people think that a deck should have no mentioning of the markings, while others want it shouted to the world.

I like these,but I still use the red keepers master deck.
1:15 is actually a nice top change
Built into the muscles by now.
After many lonely Saturday nights
I like how he states that the camera man can easily read it from where he is, but he had to zoom and focus on the markings 😂
That crossed my mind at first, but I think the camera man was actually looking with his eyes. He had to focus on the card with the camera (obviously, or either reboot it)! Multitasking! Maybe autozoom. Maybe he used mentalism

Well said. My thoughts exactly. And it was nice to point out the k and x thing. I have a problem with 6 and 9s of diamonds with the keepers
What is the track playing?
Those are some beautiful cards
Notification squad?
I want these
Yes, you do. Purchase here! www.ellusionist.com/cohorts-red-playing-cards.html
The Jokers don't have marks?
So, is the Blue one marked?
This is amazing. Is there any card tricks that i can learn from these set of cards. If so, could you send me a link and where to get the cards from.

sweet
thank you
Where the hell are the KING SLAYERS!?!?!
LOL
there is a claim on the website that you can fee the difference? is that part of the marking system too? IDONT get it
No, that is purely about the card stock!
COHORTS blue are my favourite card to handle ,regardless of the marking system (which i barely use ,i dont know why ,it feels like cheating ,anyone else understand what i mean by that ?i dont even fully know ) but this B9 thin stock just keeps on going when your USPCC cards are beaten up and done
Great video, although would have been a great help to have a camera on a stand instead of wobbling all over lol
spykexx and some cut aways to better close up shots of the markings. Why a freeze frame of the shaky shots?? Come on.
I wish markings accommodated lefties like myself.. I guess I got to re-engineer it.
That tuck case is ghastly. Looks like the kind you get in a kids cheap magic set. I'll just stick with mint playing cards.
are these plastic cards?
Nope! Paper stock.
Who printed the cards?
Cartamundi
@@ellusionist Why do they say EPCC on the tuck then?
I noticed that too. It does say on the truck that they are made in Belgium. I think only Cartamundi prints there. The Cartamundi B9 finish are the trend now. They are thicker but given the stock, texture, feel and small margin of printing error, they are making USPCC actually work now. I m guessing it is either a subcontracted agreement or something similar.
Company Card Playing IllusionistE

This really should be taken down and only given to purchasers of the deck. This is exposure.
Oh no don show it!
