Anyone tried these things out? Are they durable? I like doing lots of flourishes and shuffles absent-mindedly through-out the day, and I want to know if they can withstand a little bit of play. I go through cheap decks in about 1 and a half to two weeks...will this last much longer? thanks in advance.

Define "cheap" decks.

I have used a tally ho black viper and let me say this

if you use it often like I do ....im rarely seen without a deck of cards in my hand
then they don't last too long
the black paint kept coming off of it on my hands

other than that (and the fact that when you take it out and show ppl I have ALOT of ppl that say "hey that's a trick deck" lol

but other than thoose problems I loved mine before it got too bad to play with (about a week and a half)

I hope this helps
