Hi Whit!
Great to have you here.

Whit, in your opinion are the best cards to use for magic?

I use Bicycle, but have found Bee's to be great and oddly enough, Walgreen drugtores STUD brand ( probably made and owned by the good folks at Bicycle ).


Thanks!!!

Chris

I use blue-backed Bees for three-card monte. Red Bicycles for everything else. Mainly because they look so familiar to everyone, and raise no suspicion.

May I,

Thanks.

Use those cards, that you like the best, those, with what you feel comfortable so you don't have to worry when you are makeing a double lift

btw- I use borrowed deck when possible!

Both good points Mustkunstnik. Thanks. The main problem I have with Bicycles is their lack of uniformity. Quality control has been very absent from the company for many years now. I find that their familiarity with the public makes them worth the extra effort, however.

US Playing Card Co. has a great new consultant, now, in R Paul Wilson, and I think that some of these issues will soon be improving.
