I am new to Cardistry as well. A broken-in deck is easier than a new deck. The first week I practiced my Faro was really poor, with a low success rate. But, with more practice it got better and easier.
But we basically pay around $20 a deck here in Canada. $12.95 +37% = $17.75. Shipping, duty, taxes, we are at $20, but with instant gratification if they are ”on the shelf”.
FG Bradley carries T11 here too, with 3 stores around Toronto.
lol, I’ve already order hundreds of dollars worth! T11 is a big part of my collection!
And at an average of 50 pts a spin, the wheel was a slow way to grind Elite points!
Maybe T11 should have left the Wheel open until the revised system is ready? I’m around 8,000 pts, and didn’t mind the slow grind to 10k, but now there’s nothing.
