I love these cards! The faded borders look beautiful in fans, spreads, flourishes, and more. I wish they were still available!
NY • Sep 1st, 2020One of the most beautiful decks I have EVER laid my hands on. The luxury feel on the ENTIRE deck is to die for. Every shuffle and fan feels so smooth and the design is AMAZING! Expect nothing less when you get your hands on these!
Minsk • Jul 22nd, 2015Seductive, beautiful deck. I'm lucky to have it :)
Turkey • Jul 7th, 2015Great please print another batch.
Usa • Feb 25th, 2014This has become my absolute favorite deck of cards I use to play around. The faded borders look absolutely wonderful. The Aristocrat stock, the darker shade of red, the box design... everything about this deck screams professional; one of the classiest decks I have ever seen. Best of all, the handling is top notch and has not worn down one bit even though I've used this deck pretty heavily for about two weeks now. No breaking in is required. I could go on and on about this deck, but I'll not bore you and just sum it up in three words: get this deck!
United States • Aug 14th, 2013Black Stingers please! I love my stingers. The muted black-patterned back is great. My decks are getting really worn out, but each deck is $35 on eBay. If Theory 11 did another printing of the original black-backed stingers, I'd be buying a bunch of them.
United States • Jul 24th, 2013When I first saw these on theory11 I fell in love with them but they were sold out completely; Imagine my elation when I found a couple of these decks at my local magic store! A Bee deck of cards with fade out borders is something to behold. The handling is superb so buy these now!
United States • Jul 17th, 2013Best. Deck. Ever. Never loses handling, which is amazing. I threw a couple of these into my practice pile and they still handle better than most of my performance decks. They're simply beautiful. i would give this 6 stars if i could.
Canada • May 26th, 2013When I viewed the deck, I was a bit let down. From the reviews, they sounded stellar. For me they handled well, but were rather bland. Magicians probably love this deck, but as a collector and player, I wasn't that impressed and quite frankly don't understand all of the hype. Just my humble opinion.
United States • May 10th, 2013White edging! That's what was missing for perfection!
Moscow • Apr 17th, 2013The red Bee Stingers are some of the most fantastic playing cards I've ever come across in terms of ability to last. I've had these babies for a couple years now and damn if they aren't the best casino-based cards I own! They just stick between my fingers and slide in all the right places. I feel bad for you if you didn't pick these up when you had the chance. If they're ever re-released: BUY NOW.
Washington • Mar 25th, 2013Love this deck because of the way it feels in your hands and the way the design just fades away into the border.
England • Jan 1st, 2013I love the classic Bee design but sometimes the borderless design can get in the way of certain tricks. But not only did T11 just throw a border on some bee's, they took it a step further. They made the border fade out which simply looks fantastic.
GA • Dec 28th, 2012I really like the look of the faded border on the stinger back. The deck is just as good as it looks.
USA • Dec 14th, 2012This is the best Bee deck I have purchased. The faded away white boarder gives it a dreamy feel when fanning. The cards handle great with the special stock. It is simply elegant. Feels great!
PA • Dec 11th, 2012Well all I can say about these cards is that they have a great feel, with the same classical look.
PA • Nov 19th, 2012Love the back design and the way they handle. I have to say this is a really nice deck.
Canada • Oct 20th, 2012Faded border on Bee diamond back with aristocrat stock. What more do I need to say? Simply one of the best handling decks on the market.
NYC • Oct 16th, 2012Oh, I don't like Bee, but I really am fond of red Stingers :) Red metallic inks and recolored faces make me a fan of red Stingers! Also, the deck has an aristocrat stock, which makes them perfect for flourishing!
Russia • Oct 11th, 2012Red Stingers are absolutely amazing. Way better than the normal Bee decks and are worth every cent!
Singapore • Sep 28th, 2012They handle great and are very durable. I LOVE THE ARISTROCRAT STOCK!
USA • Sep 24th, 2012One of the decks that I practice and perform with. Fans great even with extreme use - awesome!
Philippines • Sep 24th, 2012Playing cards placed in two categories! Very arty like the Rebels or Sentinels, yet very simple like the Wynn's or D&D's cards. These are the best of both worlds: simple, beautiful, purposeful and a great addition to any collection!
Surrey, England • Sep 21st, 2012I love this deck because it breaks a border with normal Bee's - these have a border. There are so many more tricks that you can now do with this deck. For example, if you did the classic trick that many people know as "refined", you would be able to see the flipped over card easily. The reason I give it 4 stars is because I think it should come in multiple colors and the drastic fade on the edge. This is a great deck and you should definitely get it.
OP, Kansas • Sep 17th, 2012Great deck! I highly reccomend getting it!
U.S. • Jul 31st, 2012The standard bee back has a nice look to it but due to the lack of borders, you cannot place a card upside down in it or people will see it. The Bee Stingers back has a nice faded border. A sudden straight border will make it look like a cheap copy of Bee but the faded look is much more elegant. The back designs of the Bee Stingers are still great for magic. The back design is very 'mesmerizing' to look at but the border does nothing to the effect. If you do the 'pass', there will be no difference with doing it with a normal Bee deck. The court cards are much nicer with the lack of blue or yellow as that makes it a very casual everyday deck. The emphasis on black, gray and red makes it much more "royal". The ace is just as nice, and the jokers - I'm glad I don't get a guarantee joker. The Bee Stingers are a definite upgrade in terms of looks from the Standard Bees. I did this review just to say why I will get it. The next one will be actually experiencing it's awesomeness.
New Zealand • Jul 16th, 2012I bought one of these decks like 6 months ago but didn't opened them. After I gave myself the opportunity to experience them I was blown away! These are my go-to cards for ANY occasion. I just simply love them! Oh and the price is very fair. For handling this is PERFECT and they look amazing
Mexico City, Mexico • Jul 9th, 2012Nice cards!
China, Shenzhen • May 7th, 2012These are the best cards I have ever handled. I will be buying more.
Michigan • Mar 15th, 2012Excellent cards! 5 stars, no doubt. Those are my first Bees. I liked the design when I saw it and decided to buy them. They are great quality cards that you will use on special occasions. Plus you get double backer, and it's great!
