Can anyone here comment on the handling quality of this deck? I liked the deck but didn't back because of the printer. I haven't liked any WJPC decks except Sunish's.

Mine were delivered today. I'll try to get one opened up and see how it is this evening when I get in from work and report back.

Okay, bear in mind that I'm neither a cardist nor a magician. I am a card player and a decent shuffler. Disclaimer aside, I'm impressed with these given the print source. They are not clumpy at all and the linen finish feels good to me and can be seen when looking at the cards in the light. They shuffle well for me, they look good, and for the price, I am happy. They feel good enough to me that I would be willing to use them in a card game. If you have any specific questions, I'll be happy to answer as best as I can. I don't know what the street price will be, but if you like the art, I think they are worth picking up. Hope this helps.

interesting observation: usually the extra pip on the 7's is placed at the top, on these it is on the bottom and the extra pip for the 9's are at the top. It adds a symmetry that I was not expecting.

Great scans as always. What were your thoughts on the feel?

Thank you

For a Chinese deck they are really good. To start, the cut is fantastic. The edges are smooth with little roughage. Just based on feel it took me a bit to realize they are Traditional cut. This however shows when you try to faro the cards, but they do faro beautifully.

Personally, the stock feels a little bit flimsier than I would like, but not in a cheap way. They defiantly have a snap, comparable to standard bikes. The finish feels a little smoother than bikes, but not in a bad way, just different. I think A good way to describe this would be the finish feels thinner than standard. They fan fantastic.

For the art, because of the background on the face of the cards, they are all one way. This could have a side effect of some unique twists to some old tricks.

In the end, I dont actually know if I would use this as a working deck, simply because of the thinner finish, but it is definatly a deck for demonstration and standard play.

Yikes, just got this today. Ordered two decks and they were shipped in bubble mail . One of the two decks got its box crushed in the middle so there's this big dent in it.
