"The deck that I use these days is a bee brand deck, they're very good cards." --Jeff McBride
The Effect Bee backed cards feature the all-around back design used by casinos worldwide.
These cards are very durable and have a good quality plastic coating. They don't have the white outline on the backs of the cards, which makes them very easy cards to do second deals with.
Bee Decks are great for fanning and any kind of card work.

These decks are truly THE perfect deck. With a smooth finish that is similar but not the SAME as bicycles, you can be sure these cards are quality!
In addition, these decks of cards are MADE to last. I owned my last deck for over 6 months after constant abuse, dropping them and performing, which makes around 3 bucks a deck a STEAL.
Reccomended.

classic product.

This is a classic in card magic, very good quality and you can do lots of other effects with a bicycle deck, because lots of gaff cards are bicycle deck, I always have a bycycle deck in my close up and stag magic box.
Add to cart.

Long lasting, snappy sound!
[Verified buyer] by Snorre Saeveraas from Oslo, Norway on 04/02/2010 16:14:43
Faro shuffles, double lifts, top changes, passes, three card monte and second dealing. Bee deck blue is the way to go. There is no better deck to conceal these difficult and useful techniques. This is due to the special back design and the absence of the white border (which unfortoately is a large drawback if you need to reverse cards. You can't get away with it! Just buy a bicycle deck as well, problem solved.
The reason why I mentioned double lift is because of the sweet snap sound of the bee deck. Really special :) also, it faro shuffles smooooothly! Buy two of these decks and you can make lots of monte sets:)
hot tip at the end: penguinmagic offers bicycle deck professional. It has the bee finish with a great snap, two identical jokers and an extra blank card.

Great for sleights

I, personally, don't like the white borders in the cards back design, for my card routines. These cards are of great quality, look and feel great, and, well, do everything regular poker size cards should do.

Great for non-reverse tricks
[Verified buyer] by Peter G from Wollongong, NSW Australia on 04/02/2010 12:54:55
These cards are of the same great high quality that you would expect from the US Playing Card Company. Like all card (that is, non-plastic) based decks, they tend to clump over time (or if you live in humid climates).
A word of warning - the back design that goes right to the edge makes them fairly unsuitable for tricks that involve reversing cards. They can be spotted too easily from the side of the deck.
