Bad/Weird Decks

[MagicLemonBird]

Hey guys/girls, I was wondering what is the worst deck you've ever touched? (Besides Cardboard )

I just got a deck from a local store and the SUCK!!!! They have a design that is kind of like Aladdins but it's a little different. They are worse than card board!!!

EDIT: They're 500,000x WORSE THAN TOLIET PAPER!!! I seriously want to throw these in the air. That would feel so nice.

I wouldn't say it's a bad deck, but the Bicycle Prestige (100% plastic cards) deck is very weird when first handling them.

I got a few crap deck early on. I think they were like "Gold Crown Royal" or something. They were a combination of everything wrong with plastic cards mixed with everything wrong with paper cards. They looked kinda like bees.

Yeah, I handled those cards and they can't fan and you can't control the spring.

Nevada style no. 1860 playing cards. I'm going to go burn some now.

Thanks for the idea.

I live in germany, and german cards compared to us playing cards (bicycle, tally-ho's eg.) fell like tissue paper.
You can't fan those cards, and ribbon spreads just work on rough grounds.
but here is the best part: for one of those german decks, I could buy 2 bicycle decks, isn't that weird?
and btw: german cards have no finish, it's just printed paper, like youw would draw a few numbers on cardboard

Hmmm, Tuxedos come to mind. I was never to fond of the studs from like, almost 20 years ago I wanna say, either.

Bicycle personalized cards. They spring well but can't fan.

Many decks produced by Carta Mundi, including Casino Royale.. they are WAAAAYYY too thick and they do not last at all.

ok well im really sorry to all ellusionist fans here, i don't mind them but I despise most of there cards. The first deck that came to mind when i read this thread was my vipers. There stock is just like... a brick in ur hand but 51 others also! and all the others have the same quality. When first liking ellusionist and not really sure about theory11 when alot younger my first E deck was umm masters and I thought they felt totally diff but now im just sick of em. Want a good deck? Get some tally's or split spades.

I agree that E decks have stock that is way too thick. I prefer Centurions.

Do you guys think that it is better to buy like 2 split spades or 4 bicycle cards?

 

[TheBlack&WhiteIllusionist]

I'll jump on the wagon. The black decks wear out way too quick, and for me atleast, they tend to leave ink on my hands. I don't mind The Masters and regular Ghosts however. I'm using Ghosts right now actually.

Either one. Split Spades last about as long as two decks of bikes, that's why they're double the cost. It really depends on what design you like.

no ive over used a split spades so much and they still feel brand new! Get the split spades so where like brothers at the jam.

My local Joke Shop sells a deck of cards from China that is printed on like very thin rice paper. Making them unusable for magic. The whole deck is about one quarter of the size as a normal bike deck. (Thickness Wise.)

 

[MagicLemonBird]

The deck is so thin and has like a 1/100,000,000,000,000 inch of finish!

If you know how to spring cards right... you should be able to spring them under complete control! I know I can under perfect control!
