Playing Cards- Joker and the Thief: Midnight Blue Edition Custom Designed Deck

Very sleek and unique design, which presents better in person than it does in the photos, which cannot be said about most decks bought online. The card stock and feel is adequate, but is much like a bicycle deck compared to the feel of some premium brand (i.e. Elephant, Theory11) competitors, so that is the only minor critique. If you are budget conscious, it may make sense to wait for a special deal or price drop, but overall, this is a great addition to the repertoire of a card enthusiast, card artist, and/or magician, or to add some interesting variation to your home poker felt.

I own various decks of cards for doing magic and what not. There are bicycles, Black Lions, Scorpions and NOC, however this deck by far is the best and worth the extra couple bucks if you plan on actually using them. They are resistant to bending for the most part. And they are smooth and just more fun to handle than any other deck of cards. I also own the White and Gold version and that one I love also.

Aesthetically stunning. The court is my favorite part of this deck. Box is an absolute work of art with no detail left ignored. Really cool shade of blue on the spades and clubs, as opposed to traditional black. This deck feels rich.Handling is where these cards lose one star. These cards are not exactly a joy to shuffle, deal, or bridge. I am no magician so I can't speak to their spread or anything like that. They are very slick and very stiff. I have put mine through about ~200 bridge shuffles and played about 10 solitaire games with them and they are still one of my harder decks to handle.All of that being said, if you have no intention of actually gaming these cards, BUY THEM. They are simply stunning.

This is such a beautiful deck, I haven't even opened it yet. The card on the outside of the box is so beautiful I don't want to tear it open and wreck it. Am I weird? Yes. But I love this deck just the way it is. Maybe I will open it one day.

These cards are no doubt gorgeous, and the tuck box is amazing as well. I have a serpent tattoo on my arm and had to have these when I saw them. However, upon opening for the first time, the flap on the tuck box with the skull on it starting flaking off down to white paper without picking or poking at it. Additionally, the foil appeared as though it was flaking off into the deck of cards before I even had a chance to use them, getting silver glitter everywhere. Sending these back, as I was hoping to keep these for collection. If I was to use this deck for cardistry or magic, then it may not have been a dealbreaker.Upon further inspection, you can actually see what I am talking about in the pictures on Amazon. If you look at the pic of the rounded edge of the inside of flap (with the embossed silver skull), you can see the edges of the embossing coming loose. I am surprised that no one else has commented on this. Absolutely great looking cards and box, I just feel like there may have been a production issue with some of the tuck boxes.

One joker is smiling, and the other is the thief wearing a mask. That seems to be the only place for a thief. Not a theme for the rest of the deck. The cards are printed in red and blue on white. Nice court cards. Beautiful box printed in silver on dark blue.

Not as pleased with these cards as I'd hoped to be. They look better on the website than in person. I thought from the description on the website the cards would be more custom and intricately designed than they actually are.Also they aren't very comfortable to work with - I found them to be very "slippery".And, the foil on the box has started to crack off and I just purchased these last week - they have barely been used.Not bad looking cards but not worth the amount you pay.

Now I'M the fanciest card slinger in the west! Cards are very nice and they help accent my "Chris Angel" look and style.
