i accidentally bought some aristocrat ones but i threw em away.i should have know though......i didn see em in the 99 cent store
Got some clipped bee's at the 99 cents store. They don't really cut or fan well. Perfect if people want to play card games though, they won't get destroyed.
I collect these (trying to get new ones where possible) but they are alright. I never perform with them, there are too many problems. Pick up a deck and try your normal sleights and changes, you will see. But for as cheap as they are, you might as well pick one up and try it. They are used, but they are usually on nice stock. I have a handful of these decks sitting around and will bring them out just to play occasionally.
You can, but remember, the corners are clipped. I dare you to try a shapeshifter. You won't be able to do it. As for flourishes, they are ok, but the backs are usually lame. Make sure you find cool ones.
D'oh!
This is going to be embarrassing.
I recently started finding these sites after over 10 years of giving up on magic, give or take a few brief relapses. I was buying cards for my ever-growing collection this summer when one of the shops also named a couple of the learning sites.
At first, I kept a deck of blue Bicycles for my "home study" deck and put a pack of Bees bought from the Luxor in my laptop case, to tinker with at work. (I often have more privacy in the office than at home.)
Even in my ignorance, I could feel the difference. The Bicycles stayed where I put them, even with a child hanging off of one arm. The Luxor-bought Bees were a lot more slippery and more difficult to handle.
I don't know if you meant to ask whether anyone has experience using them or if anyone has found them useful. I have experience using them, but it wasn't that great.
In the future, I may very likely go back to them just for the challenge of learning to use more difficult cards. That day will only come after I feel a lot more comfortable performing the slights on regular Bicycles.
