Thank you! Personally, I've never had a deck of Bicycle Luxe cards with the foil ink, but given my experience with the Gold Rarebits and David Blaine's Gold Gatorbacks, I daresay I would like the MetalLuxe series quite a lot.

For 2017, it's not been so much of a year of advancement for me in magic or cardistry as its been a year for gathering resources and taking a journey magic has inspired. I've always said that who I am today was in a huge part birthed by a deck of cards and a passion for magic. While in 2017 I've...

Thank you, and I definitely agree. I just haven't yet been able to get my hands on a deck of Gold Monarchs. I own the navy blue, red, green, and NYSM 2 editions, but not the silver or gold. Hopefully during 2018 I'll get around to filling the hole in my collection.

In this video I prepare to say farewell to 2017 by looking at my top 10 picks in decks of playing cards as of the end of the year.

Breaking in a deck won't necessarily make it sticky if your hands are clean. However, if you break the deck in with dirty hands and place them on greasy surfaces, naturally they'll become that way.

I started off with a strong "no reward".

In this video I review the Silver Split Spades playing cards by David Blaine. Every detail about this deck of cards has been covered, and the Split Spades are by far one of my top decks for magic (spoilers: the gaff cards and feel are perfect for it)!

These decks have been out since August I believe. I actually made a video on YouTube showing these decks in action. However, Theory 11 has hinted that soon these decks will be available from other sources. I may film a proper deck review for these new versions, but it seems pointless to me since...

I agree with you on not raising suspicion. For me the issue is that in my area a magician once performed magic for a large number of people exactly as you're describing (presenting it as a challenge) and hoped for social status. Unfortunately, he used a marked deck, made it obvious, got caught...

Don't worry about it. Now you know the details and have some advice if you do decide to buy the marked version. Also, that makes it even better in my opinion since you have a V1 Series 1800 deck (you have something to switch out for the marked V2 if the spectator wants to examine the deck).

I think the problem you're running into is that since those cards have been played with before at a table, they're carrying grime from the hands of the players and the casino itself, which is in turn causing the cards to clump. I'm not sure that there's much you can do to make the cards easier...
