Silver
* Flip-book animation and marking system
* Metallic inks on faces and backs
* Joker gaffs compatible with Mechanic Industries Grinder coins
* Luxurious embossed tuck case with silver foil inside and out; can help you peek at cards
* Printed by USPCC on Bicycle stock with Magic finish

Flip-book animated marked deck:
The Shiner Deck uses Mechanic Industries' trademark flip book animation. It works much the same as The Mechanic Deck and VR2 Deck, with some subtle adjustments. In this repeating 13 card back design system, the way the cogs turn allows the user to read the value of each card. The suit indicator has now been enhanced and is simple to read. Your spectators will never suspect you can recognize any card at a glance!


Silver/Gold Set

This very limited edition set has been created to celebrate Mechanic Industries' 5th birthday in 2017. We have gone all out with fully stacked tuck cases embossed and wrapped with foil inside and out. Cards have metallic Pantone inks on both the backs and faces. The reflective nature of the card boxes can be leveraged to sneakily peek at what card is being dealt! The Glimmer and Shiner Decks feel great straight out of the box, printed by USPCC on high quality Bicycle stock with Magic finish. Only 2,500 Glimmer Decks will EVER be printed, and are available exclusively as part of this set.

Features
* 1 Glimmer Deck and 1 Shiner Deck
* Flip-book animation and marking system
* Gold, Silver, and Red Metallic Pantone inks with black
* Joker gaffs compatible with Mechanic Industries' Grinder coins
* Luxurious embossed tuck case with silver foil inside and out; can help you peek at cards
* Printed by USPCC on Bicycle stock with Magic finish

Well as it is 2012 now I am super impressed by this deck... Oh wait, that was 5 years ago and I don't give a shit.

There might be some typos from now on because:

2. English is not my first langauge
3. Vodka

Seems like they missed an opportunity by not calling them Glimmer and Shimmer.

I received my deck in the mail today. I only got one Shiner (silver) deck to try out before buying more.
Faces are fairly standard other than metallic inks and re-colored courts.
The back design may be dated but I like the mechanical look and the metallic ink really stands out on it.
USPCC...so handling is good as usual.
The marking system would take a little getting used to; if you are wanting to utilize the deck for that.
Overall, I really like it. I think if you like the back design, you will be pleased with the deck.
