This deck was the biggest surprise for me in recent years. The price is average but the quality is very high.

I intentionally ordered them as an experiment since they use a completely different paper stock and printing location than USPCC and I'm really surprised how great they feel.

Like the Cherry Casino's this is a thin deck, two cards thinner than Monarchs and five cards thinner than a fancy deck like the Cobras or Regalia.

They are by far the heaviest and most dense paper stock I have every handled. And the tension is higher then any other deck I have handled which I absolutely love.

The density and tension might be too high for some people that like to spring and shuffle a lot but for magic they are perfect.

The edges are very smooth and double pick ups are a dream. The faces have a light linen texture but handle extremely smoothly even smoother than Cherry Casinos. Much smoother than Monarchs or even DB White Lions. They also hold their shape perfectly after a lot of use due to the dense stock. They don't fan quite as well as Monarchs but they feel much better in my opinion.

Best of all they are perfectly flat! Unlike most USPCC stock, there is absolutely no curvature to these cards and they don't change shape and click when you press the center like Bicycle cards and many other USPCC stock.

I will probably order a brick of these since they are the perfect worker deck, cheap, extremely durable, feel great and if you can spring these anything else will feel soft.

I will be brief...

Pick up a few decks...

They are a pleasure to use, and forget the marking system (which is great), these can be an everyday, multi-use deck of basically great cards. I wouldn't however, use them for a TDR trick, as that would be akin to blasphemy.

Love the deck what a great feel as well easy to to perform all your tricks would buy this again, in fact, thinking about buying another deck.This is really a great decked to do the tricks that you have on a daily basis.

These are true readers, very easy to scan at a glance but resistant to the common amateur riffle test for markings. Both the curlicue back design and colorful jokers are reminiscent of Copaq 310 decks, but these cards are of higher quality and finish. My deck has red backs and I'd love some blue backs too but can't seem to find them online.
