So Let me start off by saying that the Phoenix Brand Rules. These decks are marvelous. They handle
well, shuffle well, right out of the box. They Fan out Beautifully. Above all there are "Secrets "
in this deck,which you will discover. I have purchased several other decks as well. Including their
Stripper, Marked, & their Boris Wild Marked Phoenix Edition. There are DvDs available to watch &
learn some real nice effects. Keep up the great work, Phoenix. Unleash the Power of Phoenix.

Great Deck. The producer, Christian Schenk, has a whole project behind these decks. He has many of
the standard gaffs (strippers, svengali's, invisible), marked decks, and even parlor decks that are
a bit larger in size and the pips are the same size as giant cards. I urge all magicians to support
his endeavors and buy his decks and their gaffs/accessories.

The Phoenix decks are beautiful to work with. Smooth fans and faro shuffles right out of the box. I
like the larger faces of the aces ( ace tricks make up the bulk of card magic ).

Love these for everyday, works, way better for a faro than bikes, in my opinion.
I think its quality is better than Bike. It has one-way feature in back and face that very useful
for magic. Phoenix also has many gaffs to use with, and their paper stocks are the same. You can
combine cards from many decks to create your trick.
This is my tenth phoenix deck. I prefer them for my card tricks because they are like butter. Also
easy faros and elegant fans. The one way marking system is a bonus as it is ingenious and
devilishly deceptive.
Many people are not aware, but this deck have a one way back design (and on the face too) that will
enable you to do many things if you know how to use it. These cards spreads better than the Bicycle
Professional Cut in my opinion. This will be my go to deck now. The design and craft here is very
impressive.
I bought this when it was in the Blizzard Box. A great alternative to Bicycle Decks. I think I like
these better, due to the fact the aces are larger, making them easier to see. Also, Phoenix makes a
great marked deck and double decker deck.
