it could DEFINITELY be the cards you are using. Do not bother buying any special decks off of T11 or Ellusionist. Just buy some regular bicycle Rider Backs off of here. You might find some in India, just make sure they aren't a cheap knockoff.

As the others suggested, Buy Bicycle Rider backs / Standards. Buy 12 decks or so...they should last you for a while.

Right vipermagic - it's not the cards that make the magic, it's you. I do believe on this and definitely I will adhere this.
I was not asking for good looking cards for perfoemance, I was only thinking that I should start with Quality decks. I was having problems in doing some specified moves in Classic Color Change(which I have described already). I thought it is because of the quality of those playing cards I am using. That's why I wnated to START Learning & Practicing with quality which may help me in learning & doing move easily than before. I was not talking about what designe people like in performance. Definitely thare will be some difference in the quality of those cheaps decks which I get only for Rs.15 (0.33 US $ appx.) and those higher valued decks which I get for Rs.350(including tarrifs) in India, equal to 7.64 US $ appx. I thought they might be charging high for the good quality. And yes I have never used those higher valued cards till now - from my childhood till now I have only seen those Rs. 15 (0.33 US $ appx.) decks.
First they are not inexpensive for me because I will have to pay more than its original value which makes it more costly than the cards I am using right now. But that's Ok, at least I will get quality. OK, then how I gonna take care of those Bicycle Cards because I will never expect to loose those decks for which I have paid so much?

You should buy in bulk from a website. I think it might work out cheaper that way. If you don't want to lose them, its simple, just keep them in the card box at all times and have a specific shelf/cupboard for them.

to take care of a bicycle deck:
- don't keep it in hot climates. They will warp from the heat and become mis-shapen. If you have them in your pocket for too long in the heat, they'll warp. To keep them from warping, go and get a joe porper card clip.

- Keep your hands clean. When your hands are dirty, or oily (after eating a roti), go wash them and then perform. When oils and dirts go on your hands, they become rougher, and less slippery.
- Try not to bend the cards. Obviously, bending cards ain't good for them. When you bend cards, it's going to be very hard to unbend it and keep it's original scructure.
- Don't drop your cards on the streets. If you are going to practice something where you will drop cards, go into your room where it's clean.
- Buy at least 12 decks. When you use your first few decks, you'll figure how far you can bend them without ''hurting'' the deck, you'll also figure out the limits of the decks.
Hope this helped!
