This is a rather interesting deck. It combines several principles, some common, some seldom used; all of which work quite nicely together. The instructions are very basic, but with a little imagination you can pull off an incredible routine. Great reactions from this so far. Two gripes: Hoyle cards (seriously, who uses those?), and the fact that part of the deck is a bit shoddily made. This can be fixed, but it takes time. All in all, a great purchase.
