- Reviewed in Canada on December 28, 2019Verified PurchaseThese matching Artisan White Edition Playing Card Deck by theory11 are going to look amazing beside the Black Edition! I can’t get over how elegant and detailed the artwork is, on both the backing of the cards and the tuck case, that the South African artist Simon Frouws created for this series! Just like the Black edition, they are amazing for dealing/fanning cards as the glide on them is superb! Another 10/10 by Theory 11!
- Reviewed in Canada on May 9, 2019Verified PurchaseA pristine, gorgeous deck of cards. I don't even play cards more than a few times a year but I've been admiring the artwork and aesthetic of some of these decks for a couple years and finally decided to buy one, figuring it will at least look fantastic on my shelf. Will probably only take these out when I have company over, and put them away after the first couple rounds of drinks haha.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 30, 2018Verified PurchaseFantastic cards! My son is a young magician, and he does a lot of card tricks. He says these are the best cards he's used. He keeps them in a safe place, and only brings them out when he's doing "serious" tricks.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 25, 2018Verified PurchaseI would have given 5 stars, but the tuck came with the bottom blown out, and I dont have the time ro patience to send it back; I live in a remote area and its more of a headache than anything.
That aside, I think that these have to be my favorite Theory11 Cards. They are silky smooth, pretty stiff but take alot to crimp. Out of the box the fan is GORGEOUS, and they spring and cull quite easily.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 1, 2018Verified PurchaseGreat quality playing cards for practicing cardistry if you want to move up from Bikes. However, Bikes are definitely cheaper and if you don't have the money to spare, you can definitely stick to using bikes.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 4, 2018Verified PurchaseI bought for a person who loves playing with cards and she really loved it
- Reviewed in Canada on February 25, 2018Verified PurchaseTrès beau mais un peut dispendieux
- Reviewed in Canada on October 17, 2017Verified PurchaseAmazing quality. Highly recommend purchasing these cards. We originally purchased them as table numbers at our wedding, but unfortunately we lost one card and I never got to play with them. Disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love them
Verified PurchasePossibly my favourite deck of cards. Classy back design, standard face cards and pip design but real high quality look to the ink and look absolutely stunning. They handle perfectly and comes with two matching jokers and a double backer. Brilliant Cards, I have two of these decks and will probably get the black also.
