Brilliant cards! Perfect for Laura London's Card in Bottle.

Very high quality cards. These are definitly not good for fanning and flourishes. But some effects require plastic cards and these are the best. They look very very close to a normal bicycle card. You can put one in a normal deck and spectators won't notice the difference if they don't know what to look for.

Those who own the Xpert have been desiring such a Bicycle brand card. Now cards effects done with the Xpert without having to carry or switch to some off brand deck is possible!

I like the fact that they are Bicycle backs/faces. They are a bit shiny, but look like a normal deck.

However, the cards clump in small batches of 3-6 cards. I tried breaking them with lots of shuffles, faros, etc. including rubbing each card front & back on a felt surface to wear off whatever was causing them to stick/clump. But they are not much better.

Example would be doing a side steal from riffle peek, sometime one card will easily slide out and sometimes 3 or 4 together as a block. I have not encountered this in other plastic decks, so not sure what's up.

Already used bicycle Prestige decks for a little while, but I purchased these specifically for Laura London's excellent Card in Bottle.

I bought this incredibly expensive set of decks to use it with regular decks and make a kind of riffle force, being the plastic thicker than paper it should do the work. i have used prestige decks ( which have much better quality ) and worked but you can't show the back design wich is trickier... BUT this doesn't work as well as the prestige decks
Also It doesn't spread well so you only can use it like for springs or throws...
And finally i bought two and expected one of each color as penguin people say it could be done before hand, and then they didn't let me cancel my order when they stated that they only have red backs and send it after my multiple complaints!
