Wrong (as others point out) and misaligned. Some cards
show a white border (being a sliver of the inter-card material). Some orange borders thick and
some thin. The printing is poor with different shades of orange. otoh a whole bunch of cards which
powder up well. Note: Regular placement of indices rather than on all 4 corners. It does come with a
single card holder. See https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S12777 A less expensive alternative is

Pros: Comes with a ton of cards! Inexpensive! Cool back design. Came with a supplemental DVD and a
card dropper.
Cons: Have to have fanning powder. Cut wrong making producing cards the wrong way
easier. No court cards.
All and all these cards will function more normal after playing with
it. I mainly fool around with these while my perfect performing decks chills in the card press. I
like that it comes with a lot of cards and I don’t feel bad about losing any or messing them up.
It’s worth a single purchase to have a manipulation deck to practice with and not care about.
Practicing with these cards made performing with my main decks easier because these cards aren’t
good but not terrible either.
I have not watched the DVD so I have no comment on it.
I've tried just about all of them. I was hoping to get something like the Peter Marvey cards, and
these looked similar; same back design. Once Powdered, they fan very well. But because of the way
they are cut, they are easier to produce with the backs showing, and not the faces. The cut
shouldn't effect the cards either way! And it is a bit of a struggle to produce them face up where
it shouldn't be an issue at all; especially split fans. Unless you have a reason to produce cards
facing the backs, then these cards are a waste of your time. Too bad since you get 2 decks and
because of the they are so thin, you get twice as many in each deck.
