I just laughed out loud at that.
IMO, Arrco Us Reg's look way better than any custom decks, they are elegant but don't look as if you're trying to hard. This applies to most regular brands.
I know we haven't seen the backs, but I'm just going with the overall style so far, the backs could prove me wrong though, don't get me wrong I like classy, but I think arrcos, tally hos, bikes and aladdins are extremely classy.
That's because JP released 3 really, really, awful 1 on 1s.
CK released this one trick that imo is kinda mediocre, but meh it's cheap and everything else he's released has been epic.
Sorry about that lol, didn't realize.
In short if you want an awesome inexpensive introduction:
Royal Road to Card Magic
If you want the best introduction possible and are willing to shell out,
Card College.
If you have any further questions shoot me a PM and we can talk on AIM or...
You're missing the point though, Dan and Dave said on their website:
If that isn't aimed at magicians and flourishers I don't know what is. Absolut Cards are not the best quality possible, therefore my point stands.
