These cards are for students of magic and mechanics who are interested in learning gambling slights like the tabled faro. Traditionally cut cards make it easier to learn how to do a tabled faro and probably increase your success rate once you've learned it. Traditionally cut cards leave a rough edge that is not as uniform as modern USPCC cards, these cards do however strike double lift well. The rough cut also helps me to hold on to the deck while doing an Erdnase style bottom deal. They are supposedly made from bee stock and are nice and durable but feel a little different (maybe not as slick). My cards were made in Ohio. Please do not buy these if you intend on bending them or abusing them. These cards were made for serious table work. If you're used to the feel of Bee's you'll now be able to do card tricks that exploit the white borders of cards like Bicycles.

@GeorgePesma, these cards are near-indestructible. I'd buy them over standards every day of the week.
