Sometimes Small Changes can make a Huge Difference!
As magicians we sometimes struggle performing with cards for a larger audience, due to visibility. Our options were giant oversize decks that just look like a magic prop, or we tried to use the Jumbo Index Decks, that were created for casinos. However, both are not really a good solution. The Phoenix Parlour Decks changed the card visibility for parlour situations, but what if you like to stay with the size of Poker cards that you are used to?
In 2017 Christian Schenk from Card-Shark desided to change the faces of The Phoenix poker sized playing cards to make them more visible. With his background as a graphic designer he made the indexes 50% larger and the rest of the design 20% smaller. Watch the demo video to see the result. No one will notice that this is not a regular card, but the index is much more visible from a distance.
Printed at US Playing Cards on Bicycle cardstock, in our well-known Casino Quality, punched through the backs for easy shuffles, faros and better handling.
As the decks are as affordable as our regular Phoenix Decks there is no reason not giving these decks a try.
