1ST Playing Cards V6 Red

Bought these mainly for cardistry and the crushed stock makes fans glide way smoother than my old deck. The duplicate 4 of spades is a nice touch too, saved me during a trick when I lost the original. Only wish they came in more colors.

Shuffles feel broken in right out of the box, and the faro comes off smooth without any clumping. The stock is thin enough for springs but still holds a crimp after a week of daily handling, so it's holding up way better than my old decks.

The crushed Bicycle stock is what sold me, and honestly it handles like a dream right out of the box—far snappier than the usual decks I buy. The duplicate four of spades and extra blank card are thoughtful touches for anyone who does packet work or needs a spare for routines.
