Smoke and Mirrors - Dan and Dave
Overall - 9/10 Stock - 9/10 Finish - 9/10 Durability -9/10 Design - 8/0 Magic - 9/10 XCM - 9/10 Pure amazingness. Plain and simple. Get your hands on these. You will not regret it. These cards have they most amazing finish ever created on a luxury Aristrocrat stock. The finish is the best handling and longest lasting I have experienced to date. The Aristocrat card stock is perfect. Snappy, responsive, and thin these cards work perfect for XCM and magic. Many people criticize the double "D" design, saying that they don't want to have to explain the significance to spectators. YOU WON"T. They don't see it. They are designed beautifully by Si Scott. The coolest ace of spades ever is in this deck. These cards also last for eternity. I have about 4 decks of each smoke and mirrors at any given time. If one starts to stick (after WEEKS of working) I swap it for another used one. When a used deck has the chance to sit and dry out a little, it returns to its former amazingness. These cards just don't die. IMO as close as anyone is ever going to get to perfect.

What do you think about their incompatability with pretty much every gaff in the world? Does it hinder the way you perform? Because that's the only problem I find with my trusty Ghosts...

If you make your own gaffs, you are set. Most gaffs I use (very few) I make, so it is no problem. Still my favorite handling cards ever.

I'm not a big gaff guy either. I like the idea of being able to take any ordinary deck of cards and blow some minds without the help of something I'd otherwise have to carry with me everywhere I went.
