Magic Tricks

Like the other reviewers, I received blue mandolin cards that were warped, although the warp is a very even bend. Of note, all the other decks in my order (i.e. not blue mandolins) were perfectly even and straight, as usual. The mandolin cards themselves are very high quality. They are well-cut and nearly as thin as my bicycle elites, so probably also crushed stock. I'm guessign they were stored improperly at some point in their lives since 2010, probably before Penguin got them. If you're willing to work to get the bend out of them, this could be a great way to get some high quality cards for half price. Otherwise, skip them.
