Yes, I used the standard newbie subject coming into a new forum!
I like a lot of people who have always been in awe of magic card tricks and even learned one when I was a young boy, still can do it today. I just recently decided I was going to give card magic (my favorite) ago.
My question: What are the best smooth surface cards to use? I have Bicycle Bridge Size for my small hands, and I have been trying to learn the Cardini Change, and even using the bridge size, I am still having problems with the move. Now here is the strange part: I have a novelty deck of "Lav Vegas High-Quality Playing Cards," and I find doing the Cardini is much easier to do. I do believe it's because of the smooth surface; however, I don't like them; they have a picture of Vegas on them and seem to be very confusing to look at when face down so...
What would be a recommended brand of card that has a smooth surface on them, and is it possible to get them in a bridge size?
Added photo so everyone had an idea of how cheesy the cards are IMO
