Bought the original years ago from Penguin and was very happy with the quality of the Bicycle style
deck. Received this and extremely disappointed. The cards won't even spread properly. So rough.

Yes, the cards are rough and spread clumpy out of the box. This is because of the burrs on them. You have to prepare the cards as the video instructions show by wiping each card front and back on a t-shirt or cloth to get rid of the burrs. Then they spread perfectly. I just received mine and they spread horribly rough until I prepared them per the instructions.
I'm going to have to do a complete 180 on the comment I made on this review on Jul 17 2020. I said that the cards out of the box were rough, clumpy, and didn't spread well unless you prepare them like the video says. Well that did work for about a day or less. But I've been playing with this deck for a year now and even after preparing them numerous times by rubbing them on a silk or close up mat, they revert back to their rough nature in days. And therefore they do not spread well at all. They may have bicycle backs, but they are in no way using the standard bicycle stock.
The above review is correct. Trick is great, but the cards are not, and this deck needs to be reprinted on normal bicycle stock.
