I'm not quite sure where to post this question, and this may not be the right forum, but does anyone know of a source for purchasing playing cards that handle more or less like modern cards, but have designs that could pass for renaissance? I'm asking this because I am considering doing strolling magic at a renaissance festival. I would like to use cards, but they would have to look at least somewhat passably period, and yet be manipulable for basic sleights. Thanks.

Historicgames.com sells a reproduction of the Rouen deck which was widely used in England during the 16th century. I have a similar deck produced by Mt. Hood Playing Card Company (which appears to be out of business). They're a bit smaller than bridge size and have sharp corners with blank backs. The finish is matte paper.
