    Is the pyramid puzzle box an actual puzzle?

    Or is it simply a stylish, over-the-top container for those golden monarchs?

    Why are Fontaine decks so appreciated?

    I guess so. To be honest, I'm a simple guy when it comes to cards I actually use. Exception made for a few specific/amazing decks - like the white gold Joker and the Thief -, I tend to stick to one type of card deck for public performance (hence the brick of Wicked Kingdom I ordered this...

    Why are Fontaine decks so appreciated?

    Huh. I see why decks like Wicked Kingdom and Anubis or Osiris might create some massive hype when they're announced, but Fontaine... I guess I'll be keeping my money this time around, green Fontaines or not.

    Why are Fontaine decks so appreciated?

    Question in the title. Whether it's magicians or cardists, there seem to be a lot of excitement everytime a new Fontaine deck is released (and by "new", I mean "simply recolored"). Their price is generally pretty high too, for the simplicity of the design. It all begs the question, what is so...

    What card finish/type is best for cardistry?

    I've heard something like that too, I just ordered 3 Joker and the Thief decks, which seem to have the kind of handling I like, but it would be nice to know if there's a way not to buy decks at random, and to know what I'm looking for in the deck's components.

    Thanks for answering!

    What are dealer coins for?

    I've been wondering for a while. You can of course use them for coin magic, but what other use or purpose do they usually serve?

    What card finish/type is best for cardistry?

    So, I've been doing cardistry for a few months now and I've been through a couple decks so far, my favourites being Antler and Tally-Ho; both have a nice stock and are quite comfortable to handle, and apart from the Tally-Ho's rough edges in the first day or so, they are both quite reliable sets...

    What kind of finish/stock is on the Antler deck?

    A few months ago I ordered an brown Antler deck from D&D, and ended up making it my main workhorse deck for cardistry practice. I used a Purple Artifice at the same time for practice too but also for presentation, and other decks like Absinthe, Moonshine or Killer Bees. The thing is, of all...

    Is the Bycicle Eco deck durable and overall worth it?

    Thanks Fox13, I honestly didn't thought that kind of resource existed. Sadly, as far as I can see, I'm the only cardist in a few hundred miles on the map, so I guess it won't be of much use. I also tend to shop my cards on these sites, but I've recently bought a whole brick of Wylie Beckert's...

    Is the Bycicle Eco deck durable and overall worth it?

    Thanks for the reply. Although, considering that I'll have to buy at least 4 decks if I decide to buy any at all and that I live in Canada - which means at least 10-15$ for shipping and +25% to any price considering the currently lousy value of the canadian dollar, it's roughly between 40$ to...

    Is the Bycicle Eco deck durable and overall worth it?

    Oh yes, you're right. That's a shame, the back of the cards is amazing while the rest is a bit meh. It's like the deck can't make its mind between being a Bad Robot deck or a Mystery Box deck.

    Is the Bycicle Eco deck durable and overall worth it?

    I recently learned of the existence of the Bycicle Eco deck. I usually don't like Bicycles, (the too classical designs, the name of the brand, sue me - I just don't like them), but surprisingly enough this deck seems really nice. Eco-friendly, great shades of green, low price, it seems like the...

    Pushing cards with a single finger

    About the card push: after much practice, I can say you were right, I'm getting the hang of it and it's great. Also, the water-based lotion works wonders. The one I bought smells of burnt plastic, but even after a few days, none of my cards feel any stickier than before I picked them up...

    How are the Osiris/Anubis card decks?

    I've recently been on a card shopping spree, and added a few nice decks to my collection of cardistry-dedicated decks (such as Killer Bees, Moonshine, Antlers and Artifice Purple). I'm probably not gonna be able to resist buying these gorgeous Citizen cards, but the reason I'm here is to ask the...

    Pushing cards with a single finger

    Thanks a lot, I'll keep that in mind. I didn't knew of water-based lotion, I'll be sure to check it out.

    Pushing cards with a single finger

    Hi good people of Theory11 ! I have stumbled across an issue lately regarding some flourishes; it may seem like a trifle, but it's stopping me completely. I am quite new to cardistry, although I can do with my eyes closed some basic moves like the Sybil Cut. The thing is, in some flourishes...
