BicyclePrestige Plastic Playing Cards (Pack of 2)

These are not cards for magic tricks or card manipulation; they are too slick for those uses.EDIT: See below for comments about card wear and longevity.These cards are long-lasting, can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, and don't develop a saddle-bend after repeated riffle shuffles. Even after heavy use, they look like new after a quick wipe-down. The feel solid to the fingers -- moreso than Bicycle Air-cushion paper cards, and are a pleasure to shuffle and use when playing card games.The slickness and different feel means that they are not good cards to fan or perform magic tricks with; I'm having a difficult time doing a double-lift with these cards, and they're slick and almost slippery, so a decent fan is nearly impossible.EDIT: I've put one of the decks through very heavy use: Literally thousands of riffle-shuffles, multiple hands of cards -- every day for eighteen months. There have been no chips or tears, the cards have no discernible bow or frayed edges, and handle as well as the day I first opened the pack. The only issue is that the process for printing the card faces is different than that used on the card backs, and the backs are starting to show signs of wear -- see the comparison with one of the heavily-used cards against the relatively-unused "Joker" back in the photo: The Joker looks as it did when the deck was new; the other shows the wear on the back of the card. The fronts/faces of the cards show little-to-no wear.For regular poker night with friends, one deck will seem like new month after month -- and most likely for years.

These are top quality playing cards -- perfect for playing gin, rummy, spades, or hearts. The cards are heavy enough to feel substantial when fanning them out to hold in your hands. They look great. The storage box is unique and well designed, giving the deck maximum protection and no worries when packing them to travel. I've had my 2 decks for years and they look brand new -- no marks, fading, or cracks. They clean up easily too, if need beWhat they are not recommended for is poker -- a game where you're not really holding the cards and are shuffling constantly. For this, you want a thinner, lighter, more flexible acetate playing card, like those from Copaq or Kem.

I'm in a card club. These are the best cards we ever used. they last long. Very easy to read. We love them.

These cards are fantastic. I originally bought them as "beer cards," durable non-paper cards that wouldn't be ruined by spilled drinks, but playing with them has made me like them even more. They have a great feel to them, pretty much the same thickness as paper cards, but much sturdier, and they don't stick to each other at all. They might cost a bit more than regular bicycle decks, but they're very durable and will last much longer, expecially around your clutz friends.The only downside, is picking them up off the table. Since they're plastic and dont' bend, it's tought to scoop them into a pile. You can easily slide them off the table into your hand though, you get used to playing with them.

These playing cards were very durable - easy to shuffle - lasted 3 months of constant play for the entire time. Cards were easy to see. I am glad I bought them and used them.

I had to buy another deck of cards cause while playing spoons with friends we got a little overzealous and my queen of hearts had the corner chip off from the impact of the spoon on it. I found it was easy to do again as a test when we were trying to figure out why my card suddenly had a bite out of it. Other than that they're great cards. Got the classic bicycle look and a nice paper feel which makes them less slick compared to other plastic cards I've used.

These cards are high quality and so nice to feel. They hold up and are wonderful to handle and shovel. We only purchased more because the kids lost some. I think otherwise they would last forever

There's always bicycle playing cards deliver high quality the dura-flex plastic is really nice storage box that it comes in his very nice quality just an amazing overall experience I've been using playing cards ever since I was little usually kept a deck of cards on my person overtime they will wear down in the tips and sides of the card would get fuzzybecause of the door flex plastic card I won't have to worry about that no more so I guess it's fair to say that these cards are in for the Long haul great product high quality
