Straight Poker Supplies Bicycle Playing Cards Fireflies Design | Limited Edition Deck Pitch-Black with Glowing Effects

Super cool looking .I really loved them

No complaints

I bought these cards knowing that they wouldn't glow in the dark, because the colors looked bright and vivid in the photos, and I thought the back border design might actually be foil. They turned out to be a disappointment. No foil, which didn't surprise me too much. Cards with foil are usually about 50% more expensive than these. The back design is okay, but the colors are definitely not vivid enough to warrant the phrase "glowing effect". If anything, the color is a little muted. The cards are difficult to read, and the face cards (J, Q, K) are downright ugly. I'm not quite sure what the designer was going for, but I'm going to charitably say that it didn't transfer well from the computer screen to paper. If these cards were priced more like standard Bicycle cards, they wouldn't be so disappointing, but at more than three times the cost of a normal deck, I regret the purchase. Add to that the deceptive description, which I assume is the reason Amazon incorrectly tagged them as "glow in the dark", it seems like this product is at least *approaching* false advertising/scam territory. One other thing to be aware of is that the black goes all the way to the edges, which means that after a little use the edges will have visible nicks and dings, because the paper underneath is white. On a positive note, they are ready to faro shuffle (in one direction) straight out of the box, and they handle just fine. The deck also comes with a double-backed card, which can be useful for magic tricks.

These cards are gorgeous! My husband collects playing cards and was so excited when he seen these. I bought as a stocking stuffer. I did take away one star as the looks and description makes it seem as if they glow in the dark. They do not but that doesn’t take away from the fact they are very unique cards. Still highly recommend, just know they will NOT glow in the dark!

We love the colours and artistic detail, but it's incredibly difficult to see the numbers, as the decorations vs numbers/suits are rather low contrast. Bright light and very good eyesight are necessary for use of these playing cards. Otherwise, they're quite gorgeous. Might give them to a friend who has better eyesight. :)
