Awesome deck, nice back design.
Sullivan • California • 06/05/13
These cards are some of the best I've ever felt!
Alberto • Panama • 05/24/13
This deck is amazing, I love the backs design. Plus charity:water is awesome foundation to help.
Ned • Pennsylvania • 05/07/13
This deck is very nice looking, especially with the simple yet appealing box. Great deck and charity: water is a great cause. The yellow on the back also looks very nice especially since you don't see many yellow-backed cards.
Todd • South Carolina • 04/17/13
Just awesome. Would have given them a 5 but there are no jokers.
Teja Yendapally • NJ • 04/07/13
Love the deck and I love the idea that you're saving lives with the deck!
Chuck • Montana • 03/23/13
Great cause, great price, and they handle and look just as good as you'd expect from a theory11 deck. I will be getting more of these with every order.
Cullen • Minnesota • 03/21/13
An incredible deck for an incredible cause. The deck itself is brilliant, especially the back design. You don't see many yellow backs out there so this one is so unique and eye catching. I love how it looks similar to the "bee" backs. The box is also beautiful. I am so use to theory11 coming out with incredibly elaborate boxes so the simplicity and clean look of this one really impressed me.
The handling of these cards is just as good as their appearance. The finish is great and the feel very comfortable in the hands.
Overall an awesome deck.
Tom • Israel • 03/21/13
Excellent cards! The design is amazing and so the handling.
Anthony • Canada • 03/10/13
Purely based on the fact that these support a charity, it is an awesome buy! But, theory11 was so kind to also make these cards AWESOME!!
Adam • United States • 03/01/13
Excellent deck! This deck looks amazing and handles great. Buy one now.
Ned • Pennsylvania • 02/16/13
This deck looks great and the recurring theme of the water canteen fits very well with the overall theme of the deck. The fact that this deck's profits go to charity is even better. I'm in love with this deck, it's GREAT!
Kyriakos • Greece • 02/09/13
Excellent deck and for a good cause. Different from any other deck. Go buy one now.
James • GA • 12/28/12
I instantly loved the back design of this deck. When I found out it was also to support a charity I knew I had to pick one up. They handle well, and the water theme is done superbly. Pick one up today!
David • Maryland, U.S.A. • 12/11/12
These cards are pretty good. The box is good, even if it is a bit thin, making it fall apart pretty quickly. The cards, while the design is satisfying but not amazing, do not have a good feel to them. They start to clump up pretty quickly and the stock is a bit thin. However, you should still buy this deck for charity, as the deck is worth the price and you are contributing the money to a great cause.
Kevin • USA • 12/05/12
What a good cause, and what a great deck. I like the odd colors that most people don't expect and the stock is good - similar to most of the crazy custom bicycle decks you would find online. A win-win and great for tricks.
RJ • Iowa • 12/01/12
I bought these for the box design and to help out the cause. But to be honest I love these cards and use them a lot. I have went through a couple decks and plan to buy more soon. So worth the money, and it goes to a good cause.
Dale Wesley • Bear, Delaware • 11/23/12
The charity: water cards are not something you pick up as just a new deck of cards. These are a statement, and they make it loud and clear. I love the simplicity of the box and the card backs, but unfortunately my love of these cards stops there. They warp quickly, and I've noticed the box is really fraying and splitting badly after only minimal usage. I would suggest a deck of these as a showpiece and only occasionally using them.
R Lehmann • South Dakota • 11/18/12
I got these cards about 2 months ago, and was really happy with them right out of the box. Nice fans, nice spreads. The weight of the deck is a little heavier than I'm used to.
That being said, a day after I opened them, they warped like mad. I was sad at the time, because I had just started card magic, and didn't really know what to do to fix the deck or if it could be fixed.
Now, they work fine. I just faro'd them one packet face down, one packet face up, and left 'em like that for a while. Then I did a couple riffle shuffles and bridges and the click bend and warping went away.
I like the back design and the Ace of Spades, but wish there was a bit more customization on the faces.
Most importantly, T11's partnering with charity:water to produce this deck is amazing. More big card companies should produce decks like this that benefit charities (More than just the Bicycle Alzheimer's and Wounded Warrior decks).
Daniel • Sweden • 11/10/12
I think more decks should have yellow back design. It looks so funny. The handling of this cards are very good.
Richard Sampson • Afghanistan • 11/02/12
A nice deck for a nice charity. I'm just slightly disappointed by the lack of jokers and the fact that some of the cards warped after slight use.
HL • Tokyo • 10/31/12
What's better than to donate and get awesome decks back? Charity: water deck is really unique in color. There aren't many great looking yellow decks out there. And I gotta admit that this is the best yellow-themed decks ever.
Patto • Portugal • 10/29/12
The colors are amazing!
Ricardo • Mexico • 10/28/12
These handle very well - I love them and the backs are great.
Razvan • Romania • 10/17/12
These are one of my favorite decks! I truly recommend it!
Wei • NYC • 10/16/12
Not only is it for a good cause, this deck is very unique and handles extremely well. Definitely one of the most underrated decks of 2011.
Artur • Exeter • 10/15/12
This is a very unique deck. The simple design of the deck and the black box - would definitely recommend them. Bonus money goes to charity. Everyone should have these. :)
Revilo • London • 10/13/12
An empathic and touching idea. Donate to charity, and get a couple of free decks in the process!
Conor • Illinois • 10/12/12
This is a very unique deck. Its handling is beautiful and it is one of my favorite decks I have ever used. Also the design is very beautiful as well. Not to mention the fact that your helping those in need. Why wouldn't you get this deck?
Robert • Germany • 10/11/12
No groundbreaking design, still theory11 standards. I love the simple design of the deck, and the black box is a nice contrast to the yellow backs. Unfortunately, there are no useful add cards, and the faces are standard designs.
The best thing though, you’re doing something good by using them, since 100% of the proceeds goes to charity: water!
Brandon O'Hanley • Fort Stewart, GA • 10/09/12
I initially bought these decks to simply support a good cause, as it was the first time I had seen a magic company do something like that. Once I received the cards they quickly became a go to for me. Not only does it support something good, but the deck itself is top notch. Handles great and the design is appealing as well. Definitely recommend.
Jonathan Orr • Stillwater, OK • 09/29/12
Great deck. I would definitely recommend them.
J.W. • New York • 09/26/12
I LOVE this deck. The repeated water containers in the back design looks very nice, and the yellow really pops. The Ace of Spades is awesome, and these cards handle great. The box paper feels really nice, and the cause that these go towards make me want to add on infinite stars.
azzkikncardz • Philippines • 09/24/12
Philanthropy in the form of cards - that's t11 for ya!
Kelby Dixon • Monroe, GA • 09/23/12
These cards mean more than any deck on the market. Not only are they sleek all around, but they handle like a dream right out of the box. I support this deck.
Jeffrey • USA • 09/23/12
Great handling and looking deck. This is for a great cause and if you get this deck in September, it's also only five bucks.
Oli Smith • England • 09/23/12
Good quality cards with an eye catching back design. It also has a very unique Ace of Spades. Plus, buying this deck gives money to charity. You can't ask for more!
Caleb • Denver, CO • 09/23/12
I love the design of this deck. I love the cause behind this deck. I love the case as well. I am happy to own this deck. Few things I dislike however is a lack of jokers. I understand why they were removed, but I think it would've been a nice touch. Decks themselves are fantastic and I don't think I can say anything to do justice.
Simon Stokes • Sheffield, UK • 09/21/12
I love this deck... It's great some money goes to help those less fortunate than ourselves. :)
Arman • United States • 09/09/12
Not only am I helping a great cause by getting this deck, I'm also spreading the word about this charity. Whenever I perform I put the box right on the table in full view so people can see what kind of charity this is and it's a great conversation starter. Also the back design is very nice and these handle great!
Corey H. • Earth • 06/17/12
This deck is not only a great deck, but it also helps people across the world.
Matt Berglas • London • 05/06/12
Great deck for a great cause!
Dagan C • Calgary, Alberta • 02/23/12
Had them for a few days now, still feel great! The box itself is simple, which I like, nothing over the top, good start. Take them out and instantly the backs are a nice creative touch-up on a 'Bee' design. The fact that the proceeds go to charity: water just adds a whole new level to these cards never before seen in a deck!
You can help raise awareness with the fact cards included in the pack and make your performance that much better because they handle and look amazing! Good on theory11 for this deck!
Mr. Matt • Pittsburgh • 02/12/12
I love the pattern on these cards. It is so aesthetically pleasing. Like some old wallpaper from my gram's house. It provides warmth and comfort to my soul.
Bonus-- some money goes to charity.
Double bonus-- they are nice USPCC/ T11 cards
Mr. H • Earth • 01/22/12
Does good like the Bicycle Eco Deck. Luxurious like the JAQK Deck. Great Deck!
Daniel Sipprelle • Thousand Oaks, CA • 01/18/12
This deck is definitely going to be my new standard deck of playing cards to use.
Look: Elegant, when ever I whip one out people allways ask "Whoa, nice cards. Where did you get em'?"
Handling: These cards handle very nicely in the right hands. Fans are incredibly easy and the cards will always fit nicely into your palm.
Cause: The cause behind these cards being developed is amazing, and, because 100% of the proceeds go towards the charity: water foundation, you feel like you are making a difference.
Overall Rating is a whopping 10/5. I would like to personally thank theory11 for manufacturing this more than excellent deck of cards.
Melissa • USA • 01/15/12
I'm definitely buying one of these decks. They look great and support one of my favorite causes! To George in NYC, if you still want to make a donation directly to Charity: Water, the easiest way to do so is through their website: http://www.charitywater.org/ I hope that helps!
Liam Stokes • United Kingdom • 01/14/12
Beautiful deck, good feel - and I'm giving to charity.
Han • United Kingdom • 01/09/12
This is really an amazing deck. Handles perfectly without the need to break in even! The design is simple yet astonishing. Hope T11 can produce more of these decks!
George • NYC • 01/09/12
Looks good and for a good cause. What website would I go to if I wanted to make a donation directly to the organization without buying a deck?
Benji Taylor • London • 01/08/12
Feels great handling a deck of cards knowing that the money you spent to get it is helping someone out there have a better life.
Drew Peacock • Queens, New York • 01/08/12
These are great cards, "5 stars."
Paul • San Jose, CA • 01/08/12
Glad to give to charity. However, if you want a straight review on the cards themselves, I was disappointed. I relegated the only deck I bought for tear and restore purposes. They just lost their slick within a week and I couldn't use them anymore.
Kelby Dixon • Monroe, GA • 01/05/12
These cards handle beautifully. The stock is trim, and snappy. The deck feels quite "fit" in your hands. The back design screams creativity.
Blake Vogt • Las Vegas, NV • 01/04/12
These cards blew my mind because the cause is SO amazing that you want to help... but then... I got them in the mail today and they became my new favorite deck of cards! The cause aside, these cards feel great and the back design is just incredible. I love the simplicity and the yellow is so great.
The ace of spades is sure to be a conversation starter, either that or the box. The box is super clean and simple and with the clear explanation of what the organization is on the box it will be very easy to spread the word and get other people interested in this cause. Everyone should buy a deck and every magician should use these.
Jordan • Andrews • 01/02/12
I just ordered this deck and it looks great. It's great what Theory11 is doing with the proceeds.
Michael James • Dallas, TX • 12/27/11
I had the pleasure of handling this deck before release. The deck is awesome, and the cause behind it is incredible. Sometimes with charities these days, you wonder whether your contribution is really helping people in need. With charity: water, 100% of the proceeds go toward clean water in developing countries. That's why I love the organization. Upon release I ordered some more decks and I'm excited to use these on a regular basis.
Ryan Guard • Phoenix, AZ • 12/24/11
Those look great. I didn't even know what they were at first glance but I already wanted one.
Thomas Wong • New Mexico • 12/24/11
Help out with this great cause with a beautiful deck of cards!
