I really like the good ol Bee 92's. They are reasonably priced, are a thicker stock and hold out longer than bikes. I second the advice above, particularly regarding working with a LOT of varying decks consistently, and especially in various states of use (new, broken in, worn to death, etc)...

OK, that's a gigantic NEGATIVE on using Goo Gone on the card edges. Nope. No. Nein. No go. :). Soaked it up like a parched lawn. Glad I went and tried it. So the Goo Gone is good for spot cleaning on the faces, not for restoring or cleaning a whole deck. Someone above said it best...

One time I was "renewing" a gimmick and needed to remove a bit of adhesive from an 808 joker that had become dirty, along with the rest of the card. It was doublefacer so I wanted to get as much mileage as possible out of it. I used literally 3 drops of Goo Gone (a thin clear orange...

+1 on Christen! Outstanding customer service!!

Noctis, Quinnhughes above touched on it as have others, and my previous posts in other bottom deal threads do as well. Daniel Madison handling of the Bottom Deal, along with a modified Erdnase-esque grip, is specifically tailored to eliminate knuckle flash as much as humanly possible. It is...

Well, I feel it's worth the money, but I'm a voracious sponge when it comes to learning how to do something myself instead of relying on a supplier. Same with any gaffe card or gimmick, love to make them, but I also have the time, patience, and desire to put the time in and enjoy that sort of...

Heya Lyle! Outstanding news and thanks for the quick reply! I'll keep a close eye out for em! In the meantime have a nice week/weekend and keep up the great work!

Hello all, Searched and didn't find a thread about this, apologies if it's been answered, but are the refills for Smoke 2.0 coming anytime soon? I see a "null" stub for Smoke 2.0 in the refills list so I'm assuming refills are indeed planned. I'm a bit Type A about having spares and refills...

I love cards, period, particularly Monarchs (T11) and the array of Madison decks (e). I REALLY like the Roadhouse deck at (e), a gamblers dream. But as has been mentioned, custom decks can be construed by laymen to be gimmicked, etc, and Bicycles are very disarming in that respect. On that...

Snipped for brevity but I couldn't have said it better myself. This guy, he knows. ;)

Ha! I just replied to another bottom deal thread and mentioned how Jason's large hands can be a bit frustrating as his hands swallow the deck. The advice given above is all spot on, and it's really about practice, and adjusting your pivots, pressures, and timings. However, with all due...

Lots of good sources listed here for sure, can't go wrong with any and all suggested so far. Two thoughts that I think are very relevant and weren't mentioned though: Jason England is of course incredible and a real modern cardistry master I've studied from relentlessly, admire to the ends of...

The thickest general market cards I've worked with are Bee 92's. Also, Richard Turner recreated the Gold Seal Bicycle cards from Bee stock and used the old Erlanger KY machinery to do it, traditional cut and all. They are at least as stiff and thick as a Bee, possibly even a bit more. Both...

Most of what I'd contribute has already been stated eloquently by a few, and I do love/own bricks of Monarchs. However, if your goal is to be the best mechanic you can be, and do what a mechanic does best, I can tell you that you would be doing a disservice to yourself by not trying and USING...

Wow, my first thread ever here on Theory11 :). Hi everyone! I wanted to share a little tip with you all on how to get the best puff out of the Smoke 2.0 device. I received my device a few days ago, and from the start I was having to pull very long on mine in order to engage it, and by the time...
