I just got my Aladdin 1002 decks in the mail. The boxes look
so crazy. It's just a crazy mix of colours.
Anyway, I cracked it open and messed around with it for a bit to see the handling. As many have said before me, it was pretty shocking. Every fan I try, the deck splits into about 6 clumps, and I can't seem to get it any better than that. Also, when I opened the deck, I had to manually separate all the cards; they had all stuck to each other in pairs of two, and it was pretty hard to get some of them apart.
Definitely don't get these for the handling, but I think the look almost makes up for this major drawback. I'm split between looks and handling on most decks, but I think although the handling sucks for this deck, the appearance almost outweighs it. The sides look so cool; the gilded edges are obviously the reason for this, and I actually really love the Aladdin back design anyway.
But, yeah. The handling absolutely sucks.
