Smoke & Mirrors v.4 1 week update: Well let me start by saying that this one week update almost didn’t happen. Some of the control issues I had experienced in the OOB review continued for about 1/2 a week before things finally calmed down and the deck broke in. Even at this point the S&M v.4s...

Anglo Rug Deck Final Update: Well about a half a week into the third week I am finally calling it quits. I recently tried to buff up the edges and clean the deck up a bit but it seemed to have little effect on the performance this time. Essentially a slight drop in glide performance and 2+O was...

Anglo Rug Deck (2 week update) The overall feel of this deck has changed very little over the last 12 hours of use. The fan has reached an all time low but in most other areas it is still performing quite admirably. Fanning: 5 Wow these things became a pig to fan. Now in the past I have...

Anglo Rug Back 1 week update: The Anglo Rug deck had an overall a fantastic showing after the first week except for a huge drop in the fanning category. I certainly wouldn’t recommend these for a manipulation act but if you are into modern card magic this is a must have deck. It reminds me so...

Though I ended the actual review after one month I continued to use them quite heavily for a month after that Then they had some moderate use for another month and some light use for still another month before I finally retired that original deck. No deck of cards I have ever used has come close...

Here is another reason I think they are worth the money!

Wow...really? I guess it happens to the best of them from time to time but that was one of the details that I was most impressed with. I bought a brick and so far every pack has been perfectly aligned....but for $11.00 I think you have a right to expect that and gripe when it isn't so!

Actually I would likely recommend them for you. Perhaps not them but another smooth finish deck. Seems as if any smooth finish deck seems to handle moisture a little better. Do you want a softer or stiffer stock?

Final Analysis: Fournier 605s Okay I have been working on this for a month and I decided that should be enough to convince anyone yes or no on this deck so this will be the last time I compare my test deck with a new Fournier, Bike UV 500, and Bike Air Cushion. I may come back and let you...

Fournier 3 week update: Okay here is the official three week update. Just finished practicing all my test moves with a new standard Bike, Bike Masters edition, a new Fournier, and my practice deck that I have been using for this review. Here is what I found Fanning: I dropped this back by...

Two Week Update: This update is coming in a few days early and here is why. I noticed after the first week that I loved the way these cards handled so much that I was practicing a lot more! So for the second week I started recording how many hours of practice I put in and I'll start posting...

XCM cuts: What is good for an XCM deck varies depending on the specific style you tend to follow. Read the handling categories to get a better feel for how they might perform for your style. As a general thought these cards fit my style quite nicely. The only move I’ll have trouble with is the...

The Fournier 605s (Lee Asher Signature Series) Well I just got these cards and thought I would give you all a review. Since there is no convenient “sticky” to guide me down the path of a card review I will strike off on my own here and try to cover all the bases. Price: $10:99 per deck or...

Massa card 1 week update….it’s curtains already As I had originally suspected this was not a deck with a lot of life in it. It made it about 11 hours of heavy practice before I decided to call it on this one. Basically for personal use I tend to KIA a deck when it rates below a 6 on two or...

Aladdin Final Update: Well I realize that this is coming in a few days shy of a week review but I just got off a three day weekend with not much to do other than practice with my deck. I’m calling it curtains after ten hours of practice on the 2nd week. I’ll actually keep this deck around to...

Aladdin 1001 1 Week Update: This was a pleasant surprise. This was the deck that I was least impressed with after it’s OOB review however, I really began to appreciate how it handled. After a few hours of practice the fan improved to a point where it was on par with an 808. The other thing...
