These cards are INCREDIBLY similar to the "100% Plastic Bicycle Cards" that bicycle was advertising a while back...

...which is not a good thing. Go and read my review of those.

Anyway, these cards, as I have said before, are made out of 100% plastic which is NOT good for ANY flourishing, magic or ANY card handling of ANY sort. These don't faro, they won't fan and they certainly won't spread. Plus, 7 dollars MORE a deck than normal bicycle cards?

However, I did give this 3 stars for a few reasons...

1) The Backs:

The backs are of a cool design and offer a nice place in anyones card collection.

2) The Case:

These "Prestige" cards come in a cool, big clamshell case. This is a neat case for protecting cards, and any standard poker sized deck will fit in it.

NOTE: This is a BIG, protective case and it will not fit inside a pocket.


I don't know; these are not recommended UNLESS you need them for a home game, a tornament OR for a collection. Completely useless for any sort of magic effect.

Well, I found them great for faros. Being plastic, they have edges that don't fray. Table faros seem much easier with these card than with regular decks. For me, anyway . . .

Eugene Berger has a great use for them outlined in his second Penguin Lecture. That's why I got a set. I could think of several othe effects that might use the same principle as well as this deck. To say they are useless is to only be limited by standard card magic. These cards could have their place in your magic arsenal.

How about use them for packet tricks? Stand up monte for example?
