Sports reviews of Tally-Ho Viper Fan-Back Deck ~ Black + Silver Playing Cards by Ellusionist.com
Customer Review: Viper Fan-Back Deck ~ I'm a fan!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Like opening any 'reversed' deck, opening the Viper drew a GASP...the cards are familiar, but look so different!
These cards have everything that a regular Tally-Ho deck has, but they also have CLASS! This isn't pale-gray ink, it is SILVER ink! The cards are smooth and literally glimmer under the light. It's as if the silver ink were floating in a deep ocean of black ink. The pictures can't accurately depict the cards.
I prefer the all-silver Fan-Back decks to the decks with red-pipped Circle Backs, specifically for their fanning appeal. It's nice to see a red card sandwiched between two silver cards throughout the deck, but that rarely happens during a performance. You'll end up with a few red cards, followed by 8 or 9 black cards, followed by 1 red card...hardly appealing. The all-silver pipped cards are great because no matter what order the deck is in it'll yield a clean and balanced fan.
The Airflow finish on these puppies is fantastic. The best way to describe it without feeling a deck in your hands is as a combination of slippery brand-new Bicycle cards and a heaping spoonful of fanning powder. The cards fan like they're straight-from-the-box (even when they're not!), but stick together so that you can focus on performing your magic...not on picking cards up off the ground.
I'm a fan of the Viper decks over other specialty decks because while the card stock is thick and long-lasting, it's flexible enough to hold in a palm effortlessly. I've palmed with other decks and it's like I'm trying to keep an angry raccoon trapped in my hand. The Vipers palm so easily it's like they're not even there! After the palm is completed, the cards straighten out quickly after returning to the deck...almost like MAGIC!
Customer Review: A Card Manipulator's Dream
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have only been into XCM (Extreme Card Manipulation) for about three months, and I've learned over this time that Tally-Ho playing cards are the way to go when performing flourishes. Not only do they hold together better than most other brands of cards, their feel and stock are very nice. I finally felt I was ready to move on and purchase the Tally-Ho Vipers, and I have never laid eyes on a more beautiful deck of cards in my life.
// THE LOOK
I'm going to make this short and sweet. The Tally-Ho Vipers look incredible. If you perform any type of flourishes or are into XCM, this deck will raise your performance to an entirely new level. Imagine performing with these pieces of gold.
// THE FEEL AND HOLD
Fanning a deck of Tally-Ho Vipers is like sliding a piping hot knife through a soft stick of butter. The process is smooth and executes so nicely. While the cards are smooth and easy to fan, they hold together very well. These cards are ideal for XCM.
// THE REST
The stock of these cards is among the best I've felt. The cards are crafted so well, I'm sure a deck of Vipers will last you months. If you've been looking for the perfect deck of cards to buy for performing flourishes, XCM, or are simply looking for a new deck to perform magic with, give the Tally-Ho Vipers a shot. Take it from an owner's perspective -- these cards are what card control is all about.
Customer Review: The greatest deck of cards..... ever.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Well, wow! The Tally-Ho Viper deck is just incredible! They have a UV-500 Airflow finish which is smooth and buttery. These cards do not clump up AT ALL!!! They are thick and make for awesome fanning. Let me say, I am certainly no master at XCM, but this deck is the closest I have come to looking like one. I have the Masters, Ghost, and Black Tiger decks, and nothing comes close to the phonomenal feel that these cards have. Oh yeah, on a side note, these are the sexiest looking cards I have ever seen. The circle backs (which I prefer) have faces of red and silver, while the Fan backs are just silver. If somebody put a gun to my head and said, "What is the one downside of the Tally-Ho Viper deck?" I would have to say that for somebody not familiar, this could look like a gaffed deck. If someone asks, I say "These are normal cards, just special edition" and give them the deck to inspect. These sleek, beautiful, playing cards are a fantastic buy at 7.99, wheter you do slight of hand, XCM, or just playing games, get these cards now!Customer Review: George Hodgson, NY, USA

"Awesome cards! Mine came today, and I was amazed! Not only to find that they made it to the East Coast in 3 days (Priority Mail), but the cards themselves are like a dream. The fresh ink never smelled better! [The difference in this deck and the other Vipers listed is in the back design (this being a killer FAN back) and in the pip color (this one having all silver pips - utterly gorgeous!)]. The silver is 100% better than the white that was on the Tigers. They literally shine.
I did a riffle pass and bent about 1/4 of the deck at around a 45 degree angle, and with a few flicks, they were virtually flattened out again! Whatever it is, the UV Finish or that special Ellusionist something, these cards are awesome."
Customer Review: STUNNING!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
These are simply one of the best decks ever!! Sexy, mysterious, and simply put STUNNING! These cards have a great feel and a superb finish. They are excellent for XCM and magicians alike. From beginner to pro you WANT this deck. I have used quite a few decks, but this is almost always the first and last deck i grab to perform with.
