I used cards mainly only in tarot before and struggled shuffling the big sized cards so thought Id check out how I could shuffle better which lead me to magicians doing some wonderful things with cards. I decided to look up some nice cards to start with and found Monarchs listed in many reviewst, they looked very pleasing to my eye. When I received them I firstly noticed the air cushion and how it really helped to move the cards about. I ended up stood in front of my mirror for a few hours just shuffling and leaning how to switch cards. I only stopped as my fingers started to hurt! I really like the dark blue and gold box they came in. Both box and cards look very worthy for an eye catching show I feel. There are a few additional advertising cards included which im using to practice a two card switch.

Good quality deck, lovelly back design, including the rich tones of the face of the cards, too.
