"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 they are very easy cards to do second deals with.
Bee Decks are great for fanning and any kind of card work.

Our attention to quality means you get cards with superior slip, snap, and feel in every deck of cards. That's why worldwide it's Bee brand. The casino playing card.

Bee decks are really good cards. So many magicians are always using Bicycles so it's always good to see something different. They have a same great quality that Bicycle offers so you won't have to worry about them wearing out quickly. The only real downside that I have with them is that they don't have border which I find makes some of the moves harder to conceal. If you haven't tried them yet, buy a pack and you'll probably like them.

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, although I feel that in the case of bees, because of the lack of border, the blues are better and look nicer in certain moves. Once again though, this is all personal preference.

It's a shame that most gimmicked cards are bicycle these days, but if you don't make use of gimmicked cards then go for these because they feel great and are a pleasure to perform with.

these cards last veeerryy lonnnggg. i lost the box and they have been sitting out for at least a month and a half and still fan well for a total of 3 months since buying.
The back design is cool, but this deck is only really for impromtu borrowed deck tricks. because if there is a opposite colored bee card in there (which is required for several tricks) the audience will see it. and if a card is reversed from the start, it will be visible. also, fans can't be as pretty because you just don't see the... hmm well, idk how to describe it, but you don't get that look from the back of the cards as you do with a bicycle deck.
Don't take it the wrong way though, it fans perfectly!
Overall: i like it a lot! extremely high quality and fans like butter. good for slights and perfect for a spread cull.
These is better than bicycles!!!!!! And there cheap! ADD TO CART!!!!!!!! There is nothing special about these, although it feels a little bit different than bicycles. If you are a card magician and want better feeling. Than get these! You wont regret it!
