I definitely over estimated the bridge size. Maybe if you're a midget, this is what you need. Otherwise you might have a pretty hard time keeping any kind of grip on them while back palming. The description is also a complete LIE when it says there is no need for fanning powder. Take these directly out of the box for the first time and try to fan them. You'll have a fan consisting of three large clumps of cards. So if you add to cart, go ahead and pick up the fanning powder as well. I'll keep practicing with these but as soon as possible I'm going to replace them with a deck of the poker size manipulation cards.
