From Swedish magic dealer Gycklaren Magic Marketing comes
this interesting large deck of cards. Measuring 5" x 3.5" and printed
on good quality card stock, these cards fall nicely between a regular Bicycle
deck and a traditional Jumbo card size. Because they are smaller than a Jumbo
deck, unless you have very small hands, you will find that you can shuffle, cut,
fan and generally use these cards as you would a deck of normal dimensions, and
so this makes them ideal for use on a platform or for any situation where
visibility may be an issue.
The card faces have disproportionately large corner indices
which means that the card values can be seen from quite a large distance away.
In fact, I would suggest that in some ways they are probably even more
distinctive than a Jumbo card would be, and yet the cards are much more
manageable to handle than a Jumbo deck. These decks come with either red or blue
backs, plus there is a special deck available which consists of a whole range of

What's Hot: just the right size and they handle very nicely
What's Not: quite expensive
