Not a problem. I enjoy putting this content out, as it is quite fun for me to produce.
You forgot the one thing most reviewers always forget: durability. I mean, of course they're gonna be nice out-of-box, but I want to know how they compare in durability to other cards in addition to getting a good look at their design.
Durability wise, this deck of cards has a thinner stock, which makes it quite nice for flourishes and easy to manipulate. However, the durability is not the greatest for the long run. I took a deck of these cards out for use, and it's lasted me for about one month. Now (one month later) the finish is holding up well, but the deck is beginning to spread in clumps. Do remember that this is after I performed at a dinner party with this deck, dropped it ten times or so (wiping each card on fabric one by one afterward), and being practiced with five times a week. So durability wise, if you properly care for the deck the cards will last anywhere from two to six weeks. I hope that this helps.
Using flicker is a good idea, and springs or sideways dribbles seem to work for me as well. But before I return a dropped card to the rest of the pack, I always wipe it on a fabric surface first.
