I can never get them to fan at all.

Nice review though!

Here are my card stats for it guys:

Fans: 1/5
They do fan so that's why it gets a 1. Out of the box they don't fan. They have to sleep in the box a lot before its broken in.

Stock: 2/5
They just don't snap back to place and the stiffness fades fast.

Durability: 2/5
The graphics will have cracks over time...

Btw Singapore airline souvenir decks made by carta spreads and fans damn good also. :)

Yes, that's what they were talking about. I saw that video within my weeks of doing magic but weirdly, I believed in this sleight's authenticity. And know I know how to do it! :)
Btw Lufthanse playing cards also handle great!
