David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a detailed review of the Bicycle Purple Unicorn deck of playing cards. He begins by mentioning his Amazon wish list, encouraging viewers to purchase decks and send them to him with personalized notes, which he'll read aloud in future videos, offering a shout-out. The deck itself is a standard Bicycle tuck case deck, boasting the iconic air cushion finish and Made in the USA markings. The standout feature is the one-way back design, showcasing a unicorn with rainbow hair, which David notes is useful for specific magic tricks. He highlights the inclusion of a double-backer and two Jokers. David emphasizes the deck's physical characteristics, measuring its thickness at 2.91mm, indicating a 'B-grade' or 'casino grade' stock favored by magicians for its snap and rigidity. He discusses potential uses for the deck in magic routines, referencing the one-way back and double-backer. The deck's color scheme and unique Ace of Spades design are also noted.
