Kevin 100% by Kevin These Blue Cohorts are in a word, brilliant. I am also a big fan of the first-released Red Cohorts, but for some different reasons, including the massive thickness of those cards. I use them a lot, great for staying on top of table sleights. If you can burn bottoms and Greeks with these, then you can....



SMOKE them with these Blues!! A whole different deck from the Reds, these are very thin, very smooth, yet have all the great firmness of a thicker card.



THIS RIGHT HERE is what really makes these stand out from almost all other decks: The Cut and The Edges. Yes, the cut and edges. These cards are remarkable in their resilience and have what must be the smoothest most perfect cut, the cards are SO clean on the edges. Traditional cut, so faros table and in hand are perfect and zip right up. When squared, the deck feels like a single object, its THAT smooth. Thr card definition is crisp pinkie counts and lifts of any number are effortless.



The finish is durable. Really durable. I dare say it's near perfect. Both in hand and on table, these perform flawlessly. I bought 2 bricks of the Blue. I work this deck every single day. I have 23 decks left. Seriously. It's STILL in fantastic shape, and the edges are as smooth as opening day. It's unbelievable, but it's absolutely true.



Along with a perfect blue, a box and back design I fell in love with first time I saw them, and the fact that the marks are done SO WELL (readable from a distance and well placed), make this deck an absolute killer.



Get these, try these, and I can almost guarantee they'll be among your favorites of all time. These take a rightful place amongst my timeless favorites:. Turner Gold Seals, Bee 92s, Roadhouse, and now Blue Cohorts. Red Cohorts get special mention because while I have learned to love them, I have a feeling they are over now, and a Red V2 will likely follow, which will be the Red version of these Blues.



I'm going to end this review with nearly the same line I ended the Red review with, ironically. "Now if we can just get these in Red!!! Seriously E, I'll buy the first few bricks!". :).



Thanks for being bold, E. These are a really special deck, PLEASE re-release these in Red as well!!

Paul 100% by Paul Photo controversy aside, these cards are incredibly thin. They seem about 2/3s of a standard cartamundi deck and about 3/4s of a standard bicycle deck, they are the thinnest cards I have used. They handle like butter and have very soft edges. Despite being so thin the cards still have a nice snap to them. They just feel so different to normal playing cards especially if you're used to USPCC. Love these cards and will be picking up more of them.

William 100% by William As for the difference in thickness photo ... If you look closely it isn't JUST that the blue deck is closer to the camera it is ALSO the angle/perspective of the image and what is misleading is the arrows that suggest the difference at the TOP of the decks is the difference in TOTAL height. But ... look at the bottom of the decks. The bottom of the Blue deck is lower but that isn't pointed out in the description.



So ... if you subtract the difference at the BOTTOM from the difference at the TOP of the decks you'll get a true picture [pun intended] of the "net" difference.

Summary 80% by EndersGame I have both the Red and Blue Cohort decks. I do like the thin E7 stock and how it handles. But the pictures on this product page are very misleading about how big the difference is, and exaggerate it to make it look much larger than it actually is. The Blue E7 deck is only about 6 cards thinner than the Red B9 deck.



**Ellusionist response** We don't exaggerate or mis-lead. The photo used is a genuine photo. Nothing added or taken away.



The difference is about 7 cards.



However, it has been brought to our attention that the perspective (with the thinner deck being closer) makes it look thinner. That was not our intention. We hope you still like the cards.

james 100% by james Just received my cards fast delivery. Love the feel of the deck very smooth. I will be ordering more of these. Ellusionist does it again with top rate products.

George 80% by George Love the feel of these thin cards. Hope we see these in red and some other deck with this same stock. I got some on sale and will definitely get more if they go on sale again or if we can get a half a brick and/ or brick discount.

Summary 60% by Chris Not a bad deck when they're on sale. They are very thin which is nice. I could do without the two plastic barriers to get to the cards.

Summary 100% by Chadley I'm not sure, but if you look close at the tuck flap, there are two birds. The bird on the left looks as if it's tail is showing a reveal. Looks like 8 of Clubs. Is this so?

JR 100% by JR Pourchot This is absolutely one of my favorite decks I’ve ever owned. They handle like a dream. For my video review check out this link; https://youtu.be/tAq0Qh_i1XQ
