Magic Tricks

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.
