Unreal. From the vintage box to the design, to the card stock, theory11 nailed it. Nice design and colour, (faces and backs). The cardstock is very flexible and the finish is perfect. Get these cards if you know whats good for you.

I love these... the banknote back just oozes class. Both the blue and red back colors are rich, as are the deep reds on the face cards. They feel and handle great. In and out of their boxes, they look super next to my cribbage board too. Very classy.

Vintage looks, but handle like new. Awesome deck.

Well, I bought them because they look great and they do. But I have to say, that compared to Bikes or Tally's these cards are much, much more softer and slippery. Regular bikes are stiffer and if you're used to that, the Aristocrats feel a bit strange in the beginning. In general I would still recommend these, because you buy these cards for the look (you can't afford buying blocks of these or at least I can't) and they look amazing.

Very smooth. Very nice. The design looks simple but awesome. This deck is of high quality and highly recommended.

Guys, just get this deck! The quality is amazing! I don't understand why, but you can do awesome fans with them, and at the same time they stick together which makes them really good for flourishes. The cards just stay in shape without getting bends and crimps like normal bikes. Just awesome!

These cards are pretty awesome. Although they are excellent cards, they really aren't much better than a deck of plain old Bicycles. The only real difference is a psychological one. Bicycles are ordinary, everyday cards while Aristocrats are NEW and they look cool, and they need to be bought on a website! If pizzazz is what you want from a deck, buy the Aristocrats. But, if quality is what you're looking for, just remember that Bicycles are just as good and 3 dollars cheaper.

A lot of cards that have been released within the last 2-3 years never really made any sort of impact on the type quality that these Aristocrat cards offer. The box design is very elegant and the gold seal also add another dimension of class rarely seen in a great deal of various decks of cards.
The linen finish that has been used with the Aristocrat 727 Banknote cards has been in my top 3 finishes ever used on the type of playing cards I love to use. The other two finishes are the imported French paper for the JAQK Cellar cards, and the finish for David Blaine's White Lions.
Once you get a hold of one of these decks, you know that they did everything possible to insure you have the highest quality possible in a deck of cards. So if you're a collector of playing cards or are looking for a truly luxurious style playing cards, then look no further and purchase these Aristocrat 727 Banknote cards, and you will certainly not regret the purchase.

These are the greatest cards I've ever handled. Also the best looking cards I've ever seen. Buy as many as humanly possible; right now.

Easily the best handling, smoothest, longest lasting cards I've ever owned. And I own them all.
Mayank • Mathura • 10/03/11
These are the best cards ever made in the history of the universe!

One of the BEST decks I've handled in a really long time! I highly recommend these.

I've been using my Aristocrats before they were available here. They really are a fine quality deck. The stock is excellent, the metallic gold on the face cards is striking and the reds are that darker, muted red found on casino playing cards. Equally great for a magician's/cardist's performance or the poker table.
I would give them five stars if 1) they were also a traditionally-cut deck for easy face-down faro and weave shuffles, and 2) they were priced a little cheaper, closer to what a Tally-Ho deck costs (and Tallys are cut the traditional way, to boot).
Having said that, for a classy and truly luxurious look to your act, these are hard to beat for the cost and I don't think you'll find them cheaper at retail anywhere else. The simple-by-comparison ace of spades design, deep reds and gold accents just ooze class without having to scream it up to the rafters. Identical jokers are a nice bonus for magicians who use that feature in their act.

These decks are amazing. I've had them for a while now and they are definitely worth picking up.
Alex • Brazil • 09/24/11
They look great and feel great! The stock is a little soft, though, but I still like them. The Ace of Spades is simple and elegant and the jokers look... well... 'aristocraty' (I know this is not a word).

If Polo Ralph Lauren created playing cards, this is what they would look and FEEL like!

I had these cards for a while and man they are amazing. I highly recommend you buy them, even if it is just one deck.
