When I got the first pack I went and ordered 2 more decks so I can Mack a invisible deck to do
certain mind reading illusions this is a great deck and the art work is second to none

Hey guys!
Great job with these! The artwork Rocks!
I was pleasantly surprised with the
marking system! I didn't think it worked at first but gave it a few minutes and bammo!
I just
learned what the suits looked like first then learned the values, a bit of distance works (like arms
length).
Also there's a great one way staring right at you the whole time, and the 3D images are
just the icing on the cake! 😎👍
Thanks guys! I found my new favorite Halloween Deck!!

A great Halloween deck with a bow to those campy 1950's monster movies!!! Fun fun fun!!! This deck
is a 3D deck complete with the glasses, but not so bold as to ruin the beauty when you don't have
the glasses on. Colorful and great finish. It is marked in a completely new and different way. I
had difficulty reading many of the markings and that is why I only gave it 4 stars. But if you are
looking for a beautiful, fun and imaginative deck, this is a must have for your collection. If you
are looking for a marked deck for magic, the Maiden's are easier to read (at least for me). But
"Screams at Midnight" is another homerun for Penguin Magic!!!

This deck is wonderfully designed and made me feel a real nostalgia for the 1990's. I am not a
magician, but I am happy to make this part of my Halloween collection. A must have for the modern
collector! Oh, and it handles awesome since it's printed by USPCC!

I really hate to leave negative reviews. And frankly, I'm extremely satisfied with the VAST majority
of my many Penguin purchases over the years. But this is the worst marking system I've ever seen.
Even with a magnifying glass, I can only guess at the values (although I can tell the suits from a
couple of feet away). The deck itself is pretty cool looking, but that alone doesn't make it worth
the money. Sorry Penguin, this design couldn't be read at six feet by Superman, IMO.

This deck is so much fun! I'm a fan of Phill Smith's other decks and this is probably a new
favorite. The designs are great and the 3D effects are really fun.
I've never seen a
marking system quite like this before and I can read it pretty easily from an arm's length. I'll
stick with the marked Maidens for most performing, but I still love this deck, especially for
Halloween performances.

I have been waiting for these since November, no fault to Penguin or anything.. that's just how long
things take to reach me, but boy was it worth it!
The cards themselves are great, love the
design! a lot of people are complaining about the markings, but I can see them perfectly! ( I am
only 21 and have near good eyesight).
people are also complaining about the 3D aspect and
while they do not pop out at you, the 3D is there and I do think it is quite impressive!
I
love the theme and I love the design! One of my best purchases!

Beautiful cards and no one and I mean no one will spot the markings. The trouble is you may have
trouble seeing the markings unless you have very good lighting. Fairly easy to see if a heart,
diamond, club, or spade but difficult to read the card value without practicing and knowing what to
look for in a very small area.

So I purchased these on a whim after I watched the trailer. I laughed so much! I probably will only
bring these out once a year around Halloween, but I still think they were worth it!

Cool deck but marking system is there but I can stare at the card for awhile and still don't know
what it is. The suit is easier to make out but the value is difficult. You can't be caught staring
at the deck like I need to do to guess the card. Also, the 3D glasses didn't do diddly-squat for me.
I bought 3 decks but there's way better marked cards out there. Cool Halloween deck but way
overpriced.
