About the "Bright idea" deck, liking Marck McElroy book, I had it a while, but I was very deceived. It's one of the few decks I never had bee able to connect to. And I tried. It is just flat, "blank flat".
The giant Rider Waite I don't know it personnaly, so I won't comment.
For the Victorian Tarot on the other hand, I am enchanted of it. I loved so much the Gold that I buy the kit to get the book, and belive me, the book is outstanding. For the last months, it is one of my favorite deck, so I could note de-enable you about this.
The gold edition is very lovely and subtle, the standard one is very close to it... But frankly I prefer the gold one.
