MONARCH PLAYING CARDS RED
Monarch Playing Cards started it all. You've seen them in the pages of GQ - and Hollywood blockbusters like Now You See Me.
Produced by Theory11, red edition.
The red back design pops way more in person than in photos, and the cards fan out smooth right out of the box. I've been using them for poker nights and they hold up fine after weeks of shuffling.
The finish on these is what sold me — faro shuffles glide like butter right out of the box. I've had them on my desk for a month of nightly poker and they still snap back without clumping.
The stock feels thicker than the cheap deck I used before, so shuffles hold up well. The red backs and gold accents look sharp on the table, though the box arrived with a slightly dented corner.
