I received my samples in the mail yesterday. Love the sparkly medium. I think it really adds a lot of movement and magic to the cards. I am interested in buying a deck but it's over a hundred bucks and the card stock is basically paper. Very thin and this was printed on a home printer is my guess (I work in graphic design) then laminated. Is it easy to shuffle? It is gorgeous but seems flimsy. How does the entire deck feel in the hand? Similiar to others?
jeseryn, I can see how you might think the card stock too thin, but really, it's not!! Probably, looking at just a few cards together, they might seem too thin...but as a deck, the cards seem sturdier...and it shuffles like a dream! Probably one of my easiest decks to shuffle! I have the medium but, from what I've read, the other sizes are equally flexible and durable.
I think that's one reason why I was SO surprised and delighted when I
realized I could almost see THROUGH them!! They really don't seem too
thin, so I was amazed to see the light shining through...it was like a gift!
I plan to study the Illuminated as much as possible from now on during sunrise
and sunset hours...the cards shimmer with their own and the sun's energy...
They may be pricey, but you're truly adopting a deck of art!
