EllusionistKeepers Playing Cards Deck - Blue

To the person who found an extra Queen of Hearts. This Deck was designed for Magicians. That being the situation the creators always add an Extra Card. This is for magicians use. The description on the Ellusionist website (Ellusionist is the producer and Creator of these cards), States the deck having an Extra card! So it is not their fault. You received the correct cards.

Bought these for my brother to add to his ever growing playing card collection and he loved them. He says he uses them for a large Amount more than some of his more pricier looking decks and he doesn’t worry as much of ruining these ones due to his sweaty hands a lot. He loved these for the price, feel of quality went beyond his expectations, the extra force card and the overall concept of the cards. He really felt like he had found his deck he may use for a magic career he wants to invest in and these would be a good deck for the magic lovers, card collectors and casual games of poker and black jack. Personally I love them to primarily cause of the sort of nautical theme they have, our dad and uncle were in the navy so that theme always was a family favorite

Theses cards are beautiful!I got them for their looks. I love the lighthouse theme. I’m not a magician. I just like cards for games. So I cannot assume to know what a magician is looking for in a deck of cards.As a card game player I will say I don’t see any difference in the way of gloss, edges or slipperiness. To me the magic of these cards is that they are made with less paper. I figure about 3-4 less card Thickness than that of a every day deck. They feel very delicate.I don’t know yet if that will effect their longevity. But if you like light weight cards and don’t mind paying someone the same price for less, then have at it!

As a collector and avid player/user of playing cards, I can say with full confidence that this is BY FAR the best quality deck I’ve ever owned/had the pleasure to use. I had no idea cards could feel this incredible. Just ordered three more decks from The Ellusionist Playing Card Co.Deck includes 2 identical jokers, a bonus queen of hearts, and a company card.

Wonderful cards. Slick right out of the box.The card backs are subtly elegant and mysterious; the face cards highlight a complemetary blue which build the tranquil aura of the deck.The card backs bring character to elegant fans and spreads.The finish is slight and soft, and less stiff and springy than the Theory 11 finish. They feel delicate and responsive, and seem to require ginger treatment. I personally would not use these cards for consistent play.Overall I was surprised at the quality of design and would definitely recommend picking up a deck.My only complaint was that I received an extra Queen of Hearts rather than a second "cover card", which is something I've come to expect from nicer cards. While a little put-out, I still recommend the cards as a unique deck for any card enthusiast.

I like these and the Theory 11 decks but out of all the decks I ordered all were similar to the monarchs in feel. This deck is not so similar to the monarchs in feel and because of the particular way they feel I prefer these to all the other decks I ordered. If I were to order more decks on here in the future I would order some non-theory 11 decks (after owning 3 different T11 decks I am now of the opinion they all feel the same) but I would also include one or two Keeper decks as a reliable go-to that I could trust if the other decks sucked. Five stars for playing AND magic.

IF YOU READ UP ON HOW THEY MAKE THE CARD S YOU WILL SEE THE CARE AND SMARTNESS BE HIDE THE WORK.

Nice cards. Essentially, a different back illustration on a standard pack of Bicycle playing cards. There is an extra Queen of Hearts. If you like the clean simple faces of Bicycle but want a different back, this is a great deck. I do like the box, which has a poem, and a quote on the side, "Seek not a lighthouse greater than the human mind."
