hi, these are good cards, they are USPCC quality which means they don't suck. the finish is good too, and the cut has a good faro, plus the prints are on-center which means attention to quality. finally, I recommend avoiding the "yellow" color as they are almost invisible in most lighting conditions (like blank backs lol) but the blacks look great.

to answer your question are they good for cuts... um... any and every deck is good for cuts dude.

Well, he probably meant that some decks (like spanish Fourniers, for example) sort of hold together as packets. So, I would say that some decks are better for cuts.

they look nice, i may buy some soon so i'll let you know when i find out.Apparently there were designed for(or by) Hiro Sakai

This is just a new, different looking deck.
Manufactured to the exacting specifications of both Hiro Sakai and the US Playing Card Company.
There is a special mark that secretly makes this a one-way deck (i.e. you can tell one a card is oriented differently from the other cards). Also includes a double-faced card and a double-backed card. Available in Black and Yellow.

[MikeGoyke]

Yeah HERES a link to a picture

It's got an extremely subtle one way back which I figured out

REALLY sneaky.

 

[Deryn]

eh.. they're ok.. kind of reminds me of a pack of cigarettes....
I don't own a pack but from the photos, I see the one way. Indeed sneaky

Dr Leon decks are made for magicians !!

I wonder why nobody has mentioned it yet, i bought some of those somewhere last year, it comes with 1 double backer and double facer (A/K)with the same colour you bought it with. i just wish they also come with a card with different backside colour as well but i guess i will just have to make do with mixing the decks. so if you use double sided cards you can also use this instead of the standard bycicle which all gimicks and made for.
