    Questions about "Smooth Finish"

    Smooth finish, air cushion finish, it doesn't matter. They are made of paper. Paper + Water = bad. Humidity will make any deck of paper cards sticky and clumpy. Best to avoid letting your cards get overly humid. // L

    Mystery Box Review

    Hey David, Good questions! The Mystery Box Lockboxes contain 12 identical decks of cards. It's not a grab-bag of random decks. It contains 12 Mystery Box Playing Cards, a deck design created and art directed by JJ Abrams and theory11. The "Mystery Box" decks originally came inside of a tuck...

    The thread comes on a spool. You can cut a few strands off and carry them loose if you want, or you can leave everything on the spool until you are ready for it. // L

    Legality in new effect

    A general rule of thumb? If you are borrowing ANYTHING from another routine, and the creator of that routine is still alive, ask them first. If you do this, you will avoid any of the potential problems you might otherwise face. 15%? Ask. Get permission. If you have permission, there is nothing...

    A Serious Reflection on the State of Playing Cards

    We don't typically do full custom fronts because we have roots in magic. Why does that matter? If you want a spectator to be 100% focused on your magic, and not wondering if you are using a trick deck, you need the playing cards to be as familiar and simple as possible. Why do people recommend...

    Will Using a Porper Card Clip on Some Monarchs Ruin the Embossing?

    Not really. A Porper does not put that much pressure on the deck to be honest. I keep theory11 embossed decks in my Porpers all the time, and I've not had issues with the embossing. That said, our decks tend to be a bit thicker than normal decks, so I remove the ad cards from my decks before...

    The New Wire ( The Marketplace)

    Any tips on preserving the finish of playing cards?

    One of the main causes of humidity damage? Fast temperature changes. If you put your cards in the fridge, they WILL get humid (and even wet) when you take them out. The moisture in the warm air around you will condense on the cold playing cards, and your problem will end up being worse. Not a...

    Any tips on preserving the finish of playing cards?

    If you take care of a deck, there are only two things that will likely ruin it in the long term - dirt/oil from your hands, and humidity. If your deck ends up dirty or oily, it will be permanently changed for the worse. There are a few things you can do to make it "better", but it will never be...

    Card Care

    Unless you are DYING to have something fancy, like Ostrich leather (which does absolutely nothing for your cards, it is only there for looks), just get a plain Porper clip. I own two of the "Classic" clips, ones that don't have the fancy bent spine. They work great. Plain black and aluminum...

    Card Care

    This is the best part about having a Porper clip. If your deck is in a Porper clip, you can carry it in your trouser pocket without worrying about it bending or warping. This is the primary reason I use one. // L
