Super Jumbo Playing Cards

Every student that comes into my room is immediately fascinated by these giant cards. They find it to be the most astonishing thing in the world.The sheer novelty of having giant cards is actually huge for engaging a student. These cards have helped me tremendously in teaching concepts like probability and even basic addition and subtraction.The cards are slick with a nice finish. The deck contains your standard 52 cards with two jokers, and are of a solid quality well worth the price.I highly recommend this product.

I've been doing the eye exercises in Dr. Rosanes-Berrett's book, "Do You Really Need Eyeglasses?" which I've previously reviewed. One of the exercises that she recommends is simply playing Solitaire with playing cards. It makes your eyes move and it's relaxing. Yes, it works. I've played Solitaire all day long, during lunch and then for a couple hours at night, gotten up the next day and my eye muscles are actually sore. My eyesight slowly continues to improve.So, I thought, along the lines of, 'if a little is better, then too much is great' that if Solitaire played with regular cards is great, then Solitaire played with gee-normous cards would be super-fantastic.Lo and behold, it is! Not only do your eyes have to roam over a six foot area when you're playing Solitaire with these monsters, but it's a whole-body workout! If you are a sedentary person who does not care for exercise, then get a set of these, spread them out on the floor or on a six-foot table, put on your headphones and play away. Ditto if you are just trying to improve your eyesight or if your eyes are just tired after staring at a computer all day.

I got my deck, blue back, minor printing errors on a couple of the cards, but $10 low price, so I don't care because I got these as props to mess with people and for magic tricks. for those of you who like performing magic tricks, here's an idea: hide an individual mega card behind a poster/painting on the wall, or under the couch, or under dining room tablecloth, or wherever you can think that won't damage the card. then have audience member pick a card FROM A NORMAL SIZE REGULAR DECK, and force the matching card on them. "lose" the card back in the deck, "fail" to find it, and then suddenly "remember" that you caused the card to move somewhere else, and direct the audience to the location of the mega card. if you hide several mega cards in various locations, you can do various lost and found or whatever routines, as long as you remember where each card is. I suppose a teacher could do a variation of this with mega cards and some sort of math problem or simple logic problem, but I never thought about using giant cards in a classroom before reading what others wrote in reviews. I can honestly say I only got the cards to mess with people's minds... mwahahahaha... "I as born in Texas, and these are what we use for poker cards in Texas. Haven't you heard, everything is bigger in Texas?" ... "one day, I was looking at my cards thru a magifying class during a full moon, and wouldn't you know it, when I pulled the magnifying glass away, the cards remained giant size." ... "I got these in a hospital gift shop. they are meant for the almost legally blind." ... "These are what you use for cheating at a card throwing tournament." ... (pull these out and ask with a straight face) "anyone want to play poker?"

These cards are GREAT!! I bought them to play Spoons with a large crowd (Spoons game directions: http://www.wikihow.com/Play-Spoons-(Card-Game)). And instead of using spoons, we used pool noodles. The fact that these cards are VERY large makes the game play even more challenging; and entertaining to see when someone grabs a spoon (noodle). These cards are high quality. Also, when we play Spoons, instead of a player being out when he/she doesn't get a spoon, he/she loses a beaded necklace. It's more fun when everyone says in the game. I also used two full decks of cards for a crowd of 8.

This deck is a great item. I'm a professional Magician so I'd like to think I know my way around a deck of cards, so to speak. I actually bought this deck for a routine I made up that I'll be using in a show over the Holidays. It's a full 52 card deck and includes 2 Jokers. These even make great decorations since most people have never seen cards this size. Highly recommended.

These cards aren't perfect, but they are way better than Brybelly Jumbo Oversize Playing Cards 8"x11". The quality of printing is better, the cards are thicker (so that they can actually be used as playing cards), the backs are cleaner, the deck was complete, you name it.Of course, they suffer from some inevitable shortcomings because they're so big. Don't expect to be able to do a bridge shuffle (for example). But in terms of what's possible, I think they're as good as it gets.

Worked out for what was needed

I threw an Alice in Wonderland themed party and these were perfect for the entryway! I was worried they’d be flimsy but they were surprisingly sturdy and held up great.
