Bikes are made with an air cushion finish and tallies are made with a linoid finish. It says so on the box and it's pretty obvious when you hold the deck:p
If you want to use cards for magic then arrco's ftw. Aladdins are good for cuts and tallies are good all around but not as good as arrco's for magic imo.
There are alot of these 6 year old prodigies. I want to see him 10 years from now. Most of these prodigies fade away, but some do become great at what they do;).
Hmm limited release in march/april 2009? Does this mean that there will be limited copies avaliable and then there gone or will it be limited copies then the worldwide release like what they did with andthensome?
http://stores.ebay.com/52-and-Jokers He has the best price of tallies on ebay. 20 bucks a brick. You can email him I think if you want mixes of cards and you can get discounts I think not sure.
