Though not a cardist or magician I can still tell that the stock has a particular feel. I'm sure
professionals appreciate how finely they can specify various materialities to facilitate the amazing
things they do. The black-and-white back design is very striking. Many decks refer to their ace of
spades as impressive but I think here it truly is. Unfortunately I feel the court cards whose faces
are drawn in weak lines are inferior and look as though they are pointlessly imposed onto the
Bicycle standard. 4.5 stars.
