Poker cards are probably the most common.
I don't really know what you mean by special kind of cards, but there are gaffs and trick decks.

Hey,

Usually cards are in Poker size but if you have small hands its easier to practise with Bridge sized cards.
All coustom cards are in Poker size though.

There arent really special cards for flourishing although it is better to buy Tally-Ho´s, Bicycles, Bees etc. They last longer than local ones and are somewhat better to handle...

You can take D&D´s Smoke And Mirrors, Propaganda´s, Guardians, Ghosts etc. as special cards but for flourishing i think that You should go with either Smoke And Mirrors or Ghosts. (Propagandas are a choise too...)

Hope This Gave A Bit of Help,
Mikk

actually yes a book.

its called "encyclopeida of playing card flourishes" or something, it IS expensive but it has a helluva alot of material on it that you can then use to make your own flourishes
