Cards to use on the streets?

[Sam Hardy]

What cards would recommend using when you're doing street magic?

Regular Tally-Hos or Regular Bikes?

In my local magic shop, Tally Hos are cheaper than Bikes, and I'd like to save as much money as possible, but there are a few tricks I'd like to do that involve glueing cards together (I won't mention the names of the tricks), and since Tallys have different back designs, I'd have to buy more to get a duplicate deck (since I'd like every back design)

But then, Bikes are more widely recognised than Tallys.

Did that make any sense?

If not, I'll try and clear it up later.

Wouldnt it make more sense to get bikes then?

I'd sacrifice a few cents to have a less skeptical spectator.

I've never had ANYONE think that my tally's were fake.....I find that they look fany enough to be really nice, but normal enough to be inconspicuous.

cards are cards unless your using gaffs which obviously have to match it doesnt matter what cards your using as you can let spectators look thru them

Spectators won't question a deck if you're natural with it.

Many magicians who complain about anything other than poker-sized red/blue Bicycle rider backs eliciting suspicion just don't present the cards the proper way.

If Tallys are cheaper, buy those.

Regular rider back bikes.

They are the most known and popular decks in the world for laymen and magicians alike.
