First of all i love these cards!!!!
The handling is amazing after you break them in. These are the best besides jerrys nuggets. But these fan amazing and dribble sweet. the flourishes with these things are Just outstanding GET SOME
Ah, yes.
Well I did get some. I'll make my first post here. Greetings, Gentlemen. Felicitations, Ladies.
Anyway, in all my years of working cards, all I used were Bicycles, and if I could get my paws on any, Bees. I preferred the Bees, although they are much the same deck as far as handling goes. I just used what I could buy at the drugstore, and occasionally I'd score a brick of Bees from a casino supply.
BTW, I say "my years of working cards..." Don't worry... I still suck
I got online years ago, but just discovered ordering playing cards online. Silly Me.
So I ordered kind of a Variety Pack of cards from here - some Tally-Ho's, Propaganda, Centurion. I meant to order a deck of Guardians, but I forgot.
So, for my poker games, Bee rules (BTW, I play poker straight - no manipulations).
As for card handling, wow, what an epiphany! All I'd used before was Bees and Bikes. I gotta say, the Tally-Ho cards are wonderful.
Here's Why:
The edges seem to be smoother. I can make a one-card break on the bottom of the deck very easily with these cards. Or two cards, or three. The feel is very good.
The Tallys seem to be a little more flexible. Palming seems to be, in my hands anyway, a little faster, a little cleaner.
False shuffles, again, in my hands, look a little more natural. The flexibility helps my faro shuffle and the smooth edges help me pull a smaller brief into a solid strip. Good.
As for the Propaganda cards, they seem to me to handle just like the Tally-Ho's. The Centurions look gorgeous, but they handle a bit stiffer, and the edges a bit rougher, like a Bicycle deck. I couldn't work them as well as the Tallys and the Props.
Tally-Ho and Propaganda seem to me to be identical cards, at least handling-wise. The Propaganda cards of course have a cool modern-industrial graphic scheme that I like very much.
I'll probably practice more with the Tallys, and reserve the Propaganda decks (twice the price) for performance. They make a good combo in that way, the Tallys and the Props. I don't have to practice with the expensive decks. I can pick up the $5 cards for a performance, and they feel just like the $2 cards I beat the crap out of in practice. I like that.
So I ordered bricks of each.
