The deck is just fine for the effect. Cards are not a durable as normal cards given the nature of
the effect. That said, proper care should allow them to last a long while.
Minor gripe.
It does not look like a standard bicycle deck, and would have been nice. However, most people won’t
notice or care after the performance. It makes sense to use a cheap deck to destroy with a sharpie
for a magic trick. Also the back I received is different from the one shown. Not a deal breaker.
If you like the original trick, get this to make your own.
