Whats the First Thing You Do When You Open Up A New Deck Of Cards. Fan Them? Bust Out A Trick? Smell Them? Tell Us Here. I Think Its kinda Funny What People Do and After Talking To My Friends I Have Found Out Some Interesting Things.
When I open a new deck of cards. I spread through the cards to inspect the pips and faces. Next, I dribble and fan the cards. Followed by flourishes that retain the order of the deck.
Throw away the top two cards (the advertisements), and store the bottom two cards (the jokers).
I then do a thumb fan, some false shuffles and flourishes, and then soak them in water for about 20 minutes. I find that it helps to keep the cards from overdrying.
Fan em a few times then try to bring myself to shuffle them...it's hard...
