The Bee Stingers

[3AQ7]

Let me say, this is my first review, so don't hurt me!

The Bee Stingers.

I bought 6 decks of these "so called amazing cards."

They are NOT "so called amazing cards", they ARE amazing cards.

Fanning: 4/5
>>They do fan well, very smooth. But the fadded border does make it look a bit off if you can't fan perfectly. If you CAN fan perfectly, then 5/5

Flourish/XCM: 5/5
>>They are VERY smooth cards, but when doing flourishes, they seem to stick together better than Bike's. Containing the smoothness for fanning/spreads but also being able to flourish well with less chance of cards falling off your packets makes these cards a great choice.

Magic: 5/5
>>For magic, I absolutely LOVE them. The faded border looks amazing and adds good effect, but since it has the wonderful black bee back as well, it hides mistakes and what not better than most decks because of how sharp, but busy they are.

Over all look: 5/5
>>Obviously, as I've mentioned many times before, the faded borders look great, (much better than solid bee backs) and the black bee design looks very sharp with the white in between and on the borders. Top notch.


OVERALL: 9.5/10

OVERALL (If a perfect fanner) : 10/10


I'm extremely glad buying 6 decks, wish I could have grabbed a few bricks!

For the love of magic,
Lukela.

I know I'm really late on getting these, but I just picked up a couple of decks for the holiday contest, and I have to say I love them. I like lots of the other custom decks, but to be honest, skulls, bombs etc, are a bit ...not my style. But these are fantastic. The only bad thing is that the printing is pretty far off on two sides, but hey, that comes with printing right. They handle great and are not super thick like other custom decks.
Great work T11, my new favorite deck.

Not gonna sugar coat it for anyone....buy these cards...seriously to anyone who has dabbled in cardistry the feel of the stingers are second to none, and for those into magic the backs make for a great way to simplify some moves as well as productions. I highly recommend the stingers to anyone, especially those who are into casino mechanics....

Hey guys...

I perform bar magic 4 nights a week...it's my jobby job...
And let me just give you an example of just HOW good these cards really are...

I was performing an ACR the other night, and as I removed the sharpie for the spectator to sign the card, some drunkie drunkerson spilled her drink all over the spectator's card. Well, I took the card, wiped off the wetness, and set it aside. (As I would do with any regular Bicycle card) I did a few more effects, and came back to the card later, and guess what? It was as if the card had never got wet in the first place! With a Bicycle card...that thing would've been warped and all sorts of trash to me.

The Bee Stingers are in my opinion, THE best playing cards I have had the opportunity to use. As a matter of fact, I STILL use the same deck that I shot with my first 1on1 here, for my regular gigs, and 3AQ7 is right, they fan like a dream....STILL!

I hope this gives a bit more information for those who are making up that XMas list for mommy, daddy, and Santa. Hell, my girlfriend knows what she needs to fill my stocking with...an noooo, NOT High School Musical collectable stickers...
