The finish on the smooth version is incredibly smooth, with a wonderful snap to them. The embossed finish is a little different and more like the standard Bicycles (the Aladdin box says Air-Cushion).

Feeling like plastic, but acting like paper makes the Aladdins unique. They withstand the heat and sweat from performing hands very well, making them ideal for both magicians and poker players alike. The deck also includes 4 jokers and has a unique back design with a vintage feel to the Ace Of Spades.
