Very nice cards. I love the design, but the finish doesn't hold too well...But I am still going to order more.

Bee started a trend for amazing cards, and this was the first. Great deck, but has some flaws in its design. This deck started a legend.

I just ordered my first NEW deck! My family had a deck to play with before I was into cards. We always had a blue Bicycle deck and a Hoyle deck!!! if they are good, I'm going to order 3 more - 2 red and 1 blue.

Bees have been a solid favorite of mine for a while. While it's true the borderless design does mess up a few tricks, the diamond back bleed print makes a spread or a fan look more like an optical illusion, letting a good card manipulator hide some of his or her "sins" very nicely. Gamblers with some "Expert at the Card Table" skills and no qualms about using them love using Bees for that reason. They're not flashy or special; anyone who's done any card playing (especially in a casino) will recognize them right away, so there's no preconceptions that it's a trick deck. Of course, they aren't, but some unfamiliar designs lead people to believe a deck is a gaffed "magic deck".
They're a little stiff at first, more so than Bikes or Aristocrats, so some breaking in with practice shuffling is required. The Cambric finish lasts, as does the stock - you'll get longer life out of these than many other basic brands out there. There's a reason why casinos prefer these cards more often than not - quality and durability. The Ace of Spades is pretty cool and bold-as-brass - the only basic-brand Ace I like better would be on Tally-Hos.

These cards handle great! The lack of borders make gambling sleights easy as snapping your fingers! Recommended for all "Jason England" sleights! 6/5!

I love these cards. They hold up really good, but there aren't borders, and that's a let down because if you do a triumph effect, it will mess up the effect.
But in all I love these cards and it's perfect for gambling moves. I'm rating it 4.5/5 but that's only because they don't have borders.

These cards are great. Out of the box they fan great and faro perfectly.

I like these cards. Basic, but good. I'd say don't hesitate, and get them.

The finish isn't quite as smooth as regular Bikes, but they are traditionally cut so they faro beautifully right out of the box.

I like these cards a lot; they handle well, although I think that the finish is quite slippery so don't get them if you like rough finishes.

If you're in the market for a border-less deck, the Bee brand decks are really your only option. Fortunately, they're excellent cards, but there are certain issues you have to work around.
For instance, face-up cards in the pack will stick out like a sore thumb: you won't be performing Triumph with this deck. In addition, most gimmicked cards on the market don't come in Bee-back flavor.
On the other hand, if you're using Loops, the backs of the cards hide your secret much better than red Bikes. And as the description mentions, the borderless backs hide DLs, switches, and false counts well.
Though it depends on what you're looking for, Bee cards are excellent cards. Highly recommended.
