A friend is in Vegas for a few day soon and said he'll pick up some cards for me. He's gonna grab clipped casino ones but are there any worthwhile for magic/flourishing? Like the stingers on here or something. He'll only be on the strip and doing his own thing most of the time so it has to be shops within the main casinos.

I'm glad you brought this up because I am heading out there this summer and was wondering the same thing. Can I purchase casino cards that are NOT clipped or marked? Like brand new in boxes?

I doubt it. Casinos are pretty intense about cheating. Even if you are a professional magician, I am certain that casinos aren't willing to give away cards that have not been clipped. Why? They do not want lawsuits because somehow a gambler was dealt duplicate two of clubs. You get the idea.

I went in 2001 and could only find clipped/marked decks in the official casino shops but the casinos also have shops in them and they might sell cards that people like us can use. Even if it's the Houdini's shops that have nice cards but when I went most of the products in their shops were exclusive Houdini products.

If you go to Caesars Palace, and every single year I forget which exact shop it is. but try to find the main shop thats selling shirts with the logo on it... almost like their impulse. They sell a deck of Caesars playing cards, they are not clipped and they handle nicely. They're not the same ones they use on the tables, but still a good LV deck to use.

They look like this: http://www.marlowcasinochips.com/_images/cards/New/Caesars Unused.jpg
