    A few weeks ago, we made a video with Tim demonstrating many of the unusual decks of cards that he has collected over the years. He found so many unusual examples, that we could not fit them all into one video. So here is part 2 - with lots more really unusual decks of cards.

I used to collect card decks, still have a few around, I have a double sided deck somewhere, each side of the card having a different card on it so you get all 52 cards in only a 26 card deck, might be a novelty deck or maybe you could use it with magic tricks. Seeing this collection, might just get a few more different cards in the future.

    I have a little bag with a miniaturized card deck.
    It's very cool!

    Darn you! Just when I thought I could not get any more addicted to this channel, those "magic eye" cards get rolled out! More I'm forced to spend hours on end with this video paused until I can see the image!
    Heh, I was hoping to get some sleep tonight, but I guess that isn't happening.

    Never would've searched for this on my own... but for some reason, I'm happy RUclips recommended it. I feel happier, and obligated to comment since this seems to be that case for a lot of people.
