I gave 4 stars based on the quality of the product. The card stock and graphics are excellent. However, I was surprised not to find some form of a tutorial included with the purchase.

I purchased the DMC ELites Marked Deck because it’s the only one that I can see the markings. I have several marked decks, but the markings are so small. Admittedly, I have poor eyesight, but all of the companies claim that their decks are easy to read.

I also own several gaffed decks and each came with either on-line videos or a DVD. When ordering, I failed to check the description to see if some form of tutorial was included. I don’t think one is available separately. DMC did create a booklet of suggested routines for their marked deck. I hope there are plans in the works to make available some suggested routines for their gaff deck.

These are awesome gaffs and come with some very creative ideas. You will recognize some classics of gaff card magic - but you really need to get the passport booklet to understand what these cards were designed for - PLUS you need the standard ELITES decks

These cards are advertised as being intended to go along with the green DMC V4 cards. I love the DMC V4 cards, and I would love these gaffs, but unfortunately, the colors don't match and it's extremely obvious. The back side is not the issue, it's not great but not horrible, it's the card faces that are the real problem. The "white areas" on the V4 are slightly creamy, but the gaffs are brilliant white. It's very obvious in half decent lighting. The difference in the black tones isn't bad. The worst part is the colors. Red and the colors in the royalty cards (red, yellow, blue) in the Gaffs are brilliant and they stand out like a sore thumb, but in the V4, they are all very very dull. Either style is fine and good, but if they aren't the same style, they can't be used together. The reds and the royalty are so obvious that I could never use any of these with the V4, even in poor lighting.

If it weren't for this color problem, I'd love these cards. There are a lot of clever ideas!

I bet that the faces on these cards match the faces on the V5. V5 cards are printed by a different company than V4, and these Gaffs came out in between V4 and V5, so I'm guessing that the Gaffs are printed by the same company as the V5 and that's why they don't match the V4. So if they make a Forest Green V5 then I'd guess that we'd be good.

Can create amazing effects with minimal sleights

I bought this deck to compliment my new favorite deck to perform with and at the time didn't know you needed to buy passport for tutorials wish that I knew to buy it at the time I purchased the deck and I would've paid for one.

I've always loved my DMC ELITES V1 and now I have the gaffe cards.Comes in a box just like the forest green elites. These are of the highest quality and they include it all! Theae are a must for any serious magician! These were bought as replacement for my stolen deck.
