Nah I never had that. I have a few old decks of bikes and bees and there just a bit sticky and worn down

My ability to handle cards is just fine. Thats not the problem. My question is pointed toward hand care and controling the problem. I dont have a problem with the sleights even with sticky cards but it does add to the difficulty to certain ones and other where it dosent matter. There are...
