Information on how difficult it is to perform

The deck handles reliably for cardistry and magic because it uses USPCC classic stock. No special sleight of hand difficulty is introduced by the deck itself. However, the custom faces mean that any magic routine relying on the standard appearance of court cards will not work. Performers must select tricks that are compatible with fully custom artwork.
