In my opinion, they handle much better than standard Bikes. Fan and Spread easier, shuffle very well, they look impressive, of course their "difference" (look) can also draw attention to the fact they may be gimmicked even when they aren't. On balance, I like them, I don't use them all the time, however for a "spooky" or "creepy" type card trick they can add to the effect. Good for use with Stigmata, with Burned etc. that kind of thing...

Vipers are nice yes, but I find they can be a bit confusing for your victims if your doing a routine other than a "pick a card" routine. The lack of red/black makes it hard for them.
Similarly with Bees. When you spread a pack of Bees in front of someone it usually freaks them out or sends them into a deep trance.

and i stopped using ghost cards for anything other than being a massive showoff under UV after one night of using a deck and forcing a 7 of hearts only to hear 2 or 3 people claim they'd chosen the 7 of spades. madness was i revealed the 7 of hearts card in some manor and a couple of people mistook it yet again for the 7 of spades and were happy enough, and so was i. now i stick to regular looking cards.
