Casino R'lyeh Cthulhu Mythos Poker Cards

[LadyLovecraft]

Dagon Industries is now offering a most amzing set of Poker Cards, based on the Cthulhu Mythos ...

" With his full house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu is all in! In glorious sunken R'lyeh, where Cthulhu waits dreaming in his black house, well, there's not that much to do. They don't have widescreen TVs or video game consoles (it's really too wet). So how do weary Shoggoths, Deep Ones, and Star-spawn whittle away at the watery hours until the stars are right? At the Casino, of course! Casino R'lyeh offers the finest quality gaming this side of many-columned Y'ha-nthlei. Bring the terror and excitement of the Cthulhu Mythos to your poker night with the official Casino R'lyeh poker cards. The deck contains 54 standard poker-sized cards, with incredibly dark and beautiful artwork by Heather Hudson. "

Howdy, I saw these offered at Arkham Bazaar. They look great. Have you handled them? I'm wondering if they're plastic-coated or more like real poker cards, like Bee or Bicycle decks. I'm curious if they can be used for sleight-of-hand.

I haven't been able to get a hold of the cards, yet. Shipping to Germany takes some time ... but I forwarded your question to Jarred and will let you know as soon as I got an answer

"No, they are standard poker cards not plastic. "

[Hey Rube!]

Thanks, just ordered a couple. Posted the deck at a bizarre magic site.

Excellent! I trust you will enjoy the cards ;)

Out of shere curiosity: on which page did you post the cards?

[Hey Rube!]

On 'the spooky, the mysterious... the bizarre' forum at the Magic Cafe. The Magic Cafe is a huge site. I mostly frequent the bizarre and sideshow forums there.
