Recently I ordered a deck with custom printed cards at Card Shark.
I am gonna use these cards for a packet trick I designed.

Christian Schenk offered me to print the cards on the Traditional Phoenix cards.
I accepted this offer but I am very curious if there is anyone who experienced the handling of the Traditional Phoenix cards compared to the Master Edition Phoenix cards??
The master edition phoenix card seem to be identical of quality compared to the Bicycle card stock.

I expect my order to arrive within a week or so, I'll let you know what I think!

Nobody has experience with the Traditional Phoenix stock cards?
I'll post a review as soon as they arrive...maybe it's helpful for someone.

Today I received my order! I was very curious if the traditional phoenix cards would meet my expectations!
Guess what...they DO meet my expectations!

The cards can be used in any normal USPCC deck and it's perfectly workable!
You can do all sorts of sleights with the cards...I am only having small problems with an Ascanio Spread, but I just need to work the cards properply I guess!
The difference in finish might make this happen but I am sure I'll find a way to overcome that problem.

Visually there is nothing suspicious to see, the finish practically has the same look-and-feel!
Thanks Christian for such a great job!

I haven't used them before. Been using http://www.makeplayingcards.com and have been very happy with their quality and the versatility of their online cards maker.
