Review: I like the way they feel ... - A Lovely quality for a pack of cards and feels nice in your hands. A little more expensive than the pack from WH Smith, but well worth it. That said, I haven't won anything off them so, I maybe looking to reitre from card games before I loose my house 🏚🏠🏡 😄
Review: AMAZING DESIGN AND PACKAGING, A PREMIUM FINISH & LOOKS SO COOL! - probably the best quality cards ive ever had, amazing design and such a premium feel and finish, very easy to play with, quite slippy when you first take out but you get the hang of it, perfect for magic tricks or cardistry. A great gift for enthusiasts too. I loved the packaging which I felt was a highlight with the embossed box. Here's a unbox video I did for fun showing a few decks including this one. [...]

## Questions & Answers

**Q: 3 questions:  if anyone knows, what does the ag stand for?  are these poker size or regular playing card size?  are these only for magic?**
A: The AG stands for Artist Guild.  These are poker.  They are a deck of cards that you play with, not just for magic.

**Q: Can you create a custom design that I can copyright. I am planning on purchasing thousands of decks.**
A: Sure, feel free to contact us.

**Q: Is it plastic or paper?**
A: They are Not pure plastic cards.  These are Bicycle style VERY HIGH quality playing cards. So that does make them paper but coated.  You want these cards.

**Q: Is the box that these cards come in grooved? As in can I feel the texture on the box?**
A: The box is not grooved. It’s a standard box.  The cards are great cards. I play bridge with them.
