Joyoldelf Playing Cards, Black Playing Cards & Waterproof Playing Cards & Plastic Playing Cards with Box, Cool & Flexible Poker Cards/Deck of Cards Great for Party, Game, Cardistry, Magic Trick

I took up throwing a few months ago, and I’ve been searching for cards that feel good, rigid enough to fly well, and are durable. So far these cards have held up better than the Plastic Hoyle, or Bicycle Prestige cards (which tend to chip and split when they hit something hard).Paper cards (like Bicycle limited editions ex: Cybernetic or Karnival) feel good, and wear well, but get banged up very quickly. The only downside (if it is one) is that they are a touch smaller than “regulation” poker cards, so a slight adjustment in throw is needed. A couple hundred throws with the same 12 cards and no noticeable damage yet. If you’re looking for good throwers, these work great.

They are cool looking

I really like these cards, I've not had a fully waterproof deck before. This is 100% waterproof. I played some cards with some fiends at a bar and found they are also easy to clean from having beer spilled on them as well.I'm not removing any stars, as the look on these is so unique, but at the right angle with light over you shoulder just right you absolutely cannot read these cards. I found myself having to move my head around for just the right light to read them, but the cool look and feel of these is worth it, just making a note.

I’ve had my deck of cards for about 2 years now, I’ve played around ~400 games with them, so compared to regular paper cards, I’d say this is well worth its price.The print quality of the cards are very nice, especially the royal cards. Though the black part fades over many uses, the gold/silver part doesn’t, so the cards stay easy to read.Lots of reviews state that the cards are too slippery, and that is true. But they do get less slippery after a while and you do also get used to it quite fast.The only real downside I see is the peeling. Yes, the cards obviously wont last forever, but the peeling makes it easy to identify cards by memory.Overall, I am happy with the purchase. The deck is very nice looking and lasts much much longer than a regular paper cards.

They look cool and the material makes them more durable than the average playing card. Another perk of these cards is that they're completely waterproof and easy to clean, which makes them perfect for using as an edge to get your eyeliner straight. The eyeliner just wipes off the card without a residual trace and you're left with a flawless wingtip. I always keep them with my eyeliner kit and carry one around in case I need a touch up in public. It feels like you momentarily become some kind of anime villain, it's amazing. The only downside is that they're kind of hard to read but that's easily overshadowed by their sheer awesomeness.

Ok so I really wanted to like these and was looking forward to them, but there are 2-3 real problems1. They are hard as hell to get out of the box. I mean, stupidly difficult without risking stretching or tearing the box. Maybe after lots of use it will loosen up, but when new, had to use a little pry bar to reach inside the lid in order to get the lid tabs to seperate2. The card are PVC/PET material. You wouId think they would be super slippery. The specific cards (black skulls) are weird, they are hard to seperate and almost have a suction effect between them. I honestly believe its the skull pattern doing it. I have another black set, BUT in the COLORFUL option with the diamond pattern on the back and they are super slippery. These are NOT AT ALL. It's almost like they are magnetically stuck together.3. Now this one is just a warning ⚠️. They are CLEARLY marked as "best used in bright light" due to the black on black, but you need to take this warning with a grain of salt. It's not really the level of brightness, but more the specific angle of the light that is more important. These are REALLY hard to see even in bright light. If the angle is right (perpidencular to card face) them they are visible just fine, but all other angles, th card numbers just vanishes Into the black so be aware this may be an issue... now if you have problem with other peeking at cards, these will all but guarantee they won't because engine canned the numbers hardly....lol. they do warn you, so keep that in mind. They are NOT kidding.

The result is exactly what you expect it to be.

They are absolutely beautiful. They feel great in your hand and shuffle perfectly. The deck has a nice weight to it and the cards themselves don't feel cheap or low-quality. Very happy with them. Especially with this delightful surprise card that I didn't know was in there until it flew out while I was shuffling.
