Like running your hands over the scales of a snake, Viper Finish is named for the silky feel with a unique smooth, dry, yet slippery texture. Viper Finish is the goldilocks of feel, handling, and durability. As a bonus, it is highly resistant to changes in humidity, which not only is great for some magic techniques like breather crimps, another bonus is you don't get that 'pop' in the deck when you fly or travel to a dry climate, and the decks don't inflate and get soggy in humid climates like Singapore or Hong Kong. A truly new feeling card stock like nothing else on the market. We hope these decks spark a bit of joy in your life, not only for how they look, but how they feel in your hands. Shuffle your way to a brighter and friendlier future! Paper + Coating + Heat curing + LPCC proprietary processes = VIPER FINISH™ Viper Finish blends the thinness and snap of Master / Diamond Finish, with the soft flex and feel of the popular but rare Stud Finish. All of these advantages without destroying the fibers of the paper by crushing the stock, which can make a deck feel great, but weaken the cards and makes them much less durable. If possible, it is better to "crush" the fibers at your own pace by breaking them in with regular use. Your decks will last longer and feel just how you want them to.
