I love this item it's a little to springy for me when taking them out of the box but that's mainly due to my ability to handle this material the cards are made of and a alight pet peeve is that a few cards are printed upside down with the 100$ bill design on the back but it's not a problem I just have a tendency for obsessive compulsive symmetry with card designs over all I love these cards and they will be a wonderful collection to my cardsI love this deck of cards, got it as a gift and love that they are truly repel water and don’t have doggie ears from use and bending.Honestly thought these were all going to be SILVER numbers/letters like the pic, but they have some brown/gold cards in this deck too. They still look super sleek though which is why we chose to order these.And yes, they are SUPER slippery which makes it hard to shuffle and use at times.I will update later to see how “waterproof” / durable they are.You can perform very impressive magic tricks with them.The cards we’re perfect, super soft and firm. Amazing design on them and just so professional looking, wish i still had them to take a picture but i gave them swag as a gift.Have yet to test their waterproof durability but they are really nice cards. They are a strong card as well, I have no worries about them bending. They are very pretty. Sometimes with bad lighting they are a bit hard to read, the glare on the red or silver shine will cause you to not see what it is. But still top notch!These cards are really pretty to look at - they are shiny and slick. They shuffle like a dream. They also show no signs of bending after a couple shuffles like traditional paper cards. However, they are slippery enough that it's really easy to drop them - cards have slipped out of my hand more than once in the short time I've been using them. Still, I would definitely recommend them overall. They should last a long time.if you like cool looking cards this is definitely for you, they are so nice and pretty sturdy. Now on to wanting to play with them, they are very slippery and a bit impractical. Overall they are very cool !! They are made of this sort of thin plastic material so they are durable but the edges to fade after a bit !Ok so the material is a firm yet flexible plastic. It’s very slippery which is greatBUT….The paint is no good at all. Poor edging. Uneven silver flakes showing. The tone on the face of the cards is totally uneven from one card to the next. Some are deep black and others are faded and everything in between. For 3X the price of regular cards I’d expect more. Especially since the design is such a big feature.You’ll be disappointed. Try a different brand.
