Hey it's Bey, and today I'm going to be showing you guys the Virtuoso Playing Cards Fall/Winter
2017 Edition.
I got two of these decks and one of them I got for free which was pretty awesome.
These cards currently go for about $14 each + shipping which will total to about 20 bucks
if you live in the United States.
These cards were specifically designed for cardistry and I have heard that they handle
very well.
I ordered these cards from The Virts website but you can find them in a lot of online stores.
I'll leave a link to where you can purchase these cards in the description if you're interested.
When I opened the package, I noticed that these cards were very well protected in a
couple layers of bubble wrap.
I just found that pretty cool because I felt like it was a little too much protection in
my opinion, but the decks did arrive in perfect condition so I can't really complain.
The decks do come sealed in some plastic and I think taking the plastic off is one of the
best parts in my opinion.
Anyways, the tuck case is really cool and it looks just like all the other previous
Virtuoso cards except that this one is in a different colorway.
It's a matte tuck case and I really like how it looks because it kind of has a minimal
design.
On the front, you have their Virtuoso "V" logo, on the left side you have "Virtuoso"
in text, on the right side, you have another "V" logo, and on the bottom you have some
text.
On the back, you have one more "V" logo peeking out on the flap, and when you open the tuck
case, you can see it says "Designed for Cardistry" on the flap which is pretty cool.
The inside of the tuck case is just plain white.
When I first took out the cards, I immediately noticed that they were lighter and thinner
than your standard Rider Backs from Bicycle.
You get four ad cards that tell you some information about these cards and other stuff.
What I find really cool is that when you flip the ad cards over, you can arrange them to
make it look like a larger version of the back design on these cards.
You can't really do anything with that, but it looks cool nonetheless.
Right off the bat, these cards felt great.
I didn't need to break them in and I was surprised how well these cards handled.
Just a little disclaimer though before we go on: I am pretty much a noob when it comes
to cardistry so keep that in mind.
I'm just an average consumer and I just like cards as a hobby, so please don't judge me
too hard.
Anyways, these cards feel thinner and lighter than a standard deck of Bicycle playing cards,
but they handle much better and they're much more springy in my opinion.
But even though they're lighter and thinner, these cards are known as the best handling
and the most durable deck in the industry.
They feel very slippery at first and it feels like they have that Air Cushion finish that
the Bicycle cards have.
The Virtuoso deck fans very nicely, and the Le Paul spreads are very good too.
You can get fans with different designs depending on how you fan the cards which is awesome.
Also, springs are effortless and I really like the sound when you spring them.
Now, let's talk more about the design of these cards.
I really like the back design of these cards and they actually make your flourishes look
cooler in my opinion.
They have a borderless design and it looks like they have shadows to make the cards pop
out more.
On the fronts of the cards, you have black and green lines that give it a cool design
when you fan the cards.
The cards look pretty standard except for the Ace of Spades and the Court Cards.
I really like how the Ace of Spades looks because of the geometric design andt really
goes well with the whole deck design in my opinion.
The court cards also go really well with the rest of the deck.
They don't look too out of the ordinary which is great, and all of them have black and green
accents to go with the whole deck.
Over all, the Virtuoso FW17 is hands down the best handling deck of cards that I've
used and I would definitely buy some more if I had more money to spend.
They look great and they also perform even better in my opinion.
They claim that these cards will make your card flourishes better, and I think that it's
true because the designs do make your flourishes pop and they perform great as well in my opinion.
Again, I'll leave a couple of links in the description to where you can purchase these
cards if you're interested.
