I usually keep them in the box, but unless they are needed or I want to use them I normally don't take them out with the deck.

Always nice to have though, Jokers are always good for some smiles :)

I usually chuck em, unless I have a routine planned like the sandwich jokers, but you know you can use any random pair for that trick

Most of the time my decks contain 54 cards unless I lose some cards and believe me I know how to lose cards. I find them like months later. Sometimes in like a packet of different types of cards.

I too keep my jokers. I don't know why, but the only cards that I have the heart to part with in my decks are the advertisement cards. I think that jokers give the deck a bit more character, you know?

I mean, especially with decks like Ghost and Guardian. It's all part of a theme, and that's cool with me.

I keep my jokers, but I leave them seperate from the rest of the deck, except the ones from the Split Spades because they are fantabulous. You can perform some nice tricks with them, such with those of a gaff deck.

Cheers,

I like to keep the jokers, they're good for a laugh when you switch someone's card, or in two card monte. It's the last thing they're expecting to be in their hand, and just because they're funny looking it's even better.

Also in custom decks like the ghosts and guardians the jokers are pretty sweet looking and it'd be a shame to leave them out

Yeah, I love using Jokers in 2CM, and I love using my Ghost Jokers in switches sometimes.

I'm working on a little silly theme routine for Hallowwn that involves the Ghost Jokers, should be loads of fun :D

I pretty much always keep 'em in. They're good for patter like: "I always thought jokers were useless but they can actualy find cards" etc. And ofcourse they're very handy to sneak gaffs in and out.

I keep mine since there's many tricks which I know that involves jokers and they're very mysterious to magic since you can say "They're wild cards." I dunno I like to say that in my performances if someone picks a joker but yes I keep mine in. Also since the Guardian Jokers are so nice why wouldn't you? ;)
