Fulton's Clip Joint

More Views

Post WWII Los Angeles. In the dead of night you enter Fulton's, a clip joint hidden in the murk of downtown. Take your seat and stash your heat; your drink is on its way. Smoke curls along the crown molding and lingers in the air. What little light there is tingles through the vapors as a femme fatale appears between the shadows. She'll be by soon. Get cozy, you're in for the night - it's either that or put up a fight. In a few hours your boys will join you. For now, a deck of cards from inside your coat is tossed on the table and your fedora set aside. As broads sit and sip, gents go for the grift. Are you in?

I love the double sided matte-like finish to the box and i was equally impressed with the cards within. The one oddly designed pip is really cool as is the back design and the cards handle as well as they look. For the price I would definitely recommend getting a couple of these.

The quality and feel of these are just amazing! In my opinion they are definitely much better than all Theory 11 decks, except for the Monarchs (not sure about which one I like the most). They do not require too much time breaking them in, as oppose to bees, and they last really long if you use them in the right way.

Lots of fancy words are used to describe playing cards, but out of all the decks I own this is the only one I would classify as "elegant". The black and white back design is a little boring, I've gotten kind of tired of black back designs, but the design of it is very, very nice. Down right beautiful. What really puts it over is the pip designs. They are just the sexist damn cards. As for the quality, it's Dan & Dave. What do you expect? If you expect them to be perfect, then you expect correctly. The only strike against the deck is the court cards. All this beautiful, elegant, new, and interesting design, and the court cards just get their colours changed slightly. Over all amazing, and an order for a brick may come with the next paycheck.

I purchased these cards for the grey charcoal looking tuck case. The cards are very thick and smooth. Looks like these have come just outta some old hollywood movie. But the best part about the deck is the double backed tuck case.

The Clip Joints are amazing. The finish is so smooth, yet the cards are still able to stay in packets during flourishes.

The black and white backs of each card, with its owl and swirls, projects a sort of elegance that defies the deck's namesake. Also, it looks amazing on giant fans.
However, what really attracted me to the deck was the numbered cards, which can be seen in the screenshots. They give the deck an even more unique feel, which makes me proud to own a deck of Clip Joints.

These cards are fantastic they spread, fan, dribble and spring awesomely. You name the flourish they can do it in style. The only thing that I don't like is the box material this is because it feels flimsy and i don't want do open the cards because the box has already broken. On the other hand the box is simple but has an effective design. However you are buying the cards so who cares. I can't write a bad comment on the cards :)

I love the mystery behind these cards. Very 50's noir in my opinion and when I use them it kind of sets you back in that time of dirty card games in dusty back rooms in the old section of LA. I love playing with these cards! Use these in a card game and you instantly change that game to high end. People will fear you and also be totally intrigued by this deck. Brings some mystery to your magic as well. A must have!

Everything from the box to the texture to the feel of the cards is quality stuff. The backs remind me of the first few smoke and mirror decks. The custom pips are also a plus for me. However, I would have loved to see custom court cards. If there were to be a reprint of those with the custom court cards, it would be perfect.

Fulton's Clip Joint playing cards are simply amazing! Probably the best deck I've ever handled so far. Being using it probably 2 weeks already and they still fan smoothly like they came right out of the box. Of all my time in Cardistry, decks don't fan smoothly after a few days of usage but this is a total different story. The back design is elegant, some say fancy cards aren't nice, but I say this is an exception.

These cards are truly a marvel. The simple beauty of the design is just perfect and conveys the feel of a 1940's era clip joint without fail. I received a deck of these recently and after working with them for a few days I'm planning to order a brick. The stock and finish are exquisite and the handling is absolutely incredible. These are definitely worth picking up.
