Review on "Artifice-Emerald" playing cards

i just got them yesterday, and after playing around with them for a day, i want to put up a review

Stock: the stock for the deck is nice and thick, as much as a Standard Bike, they are also quite stiff and gives just enough resistance to make a spring effortless yet beautiful.

Finish: the finish is the same used on the original Artifice decks, smooth and slippery, enough to make you handle it for around 4 hours straight to get it broken in( others i've seen take less than an hour of constant spreading, shuffling, cutting, fanning to get them broken in in a humid and hot environment like Viet Nam).

Magic capabilities: at first, before being broken in, a sandwich effect is next to impossible; haunted deck, triumph and ACR works fine. after broken in, all classics are fine to do. the back design is quite mystical, so it makes the spectator a bit dizzy so it serves as a good distraction when need be.

hope this helps
