Jokers?

[MADERA]

So what do you guys do with the jokers? Take them out of the deck so they don't get in the way of performances? Leave them in anyway? Speak away.

leave em in ther for Sandwich effects or Bill Goodwin's Hold the Mayo, or take 'em out and save em for a cool in-hands three card monte-type effect. I would like to hear other people'd ideas with 'em.

I leave them in usually, but don't necessarily have any reason to do so.

if i buy two decks of the same color, i switch the garuntee joker and normal so i have duplicates for nessecary transpos

Oh yeah, I was just thinking of doing that with the 125th Aniversary Edition cards, since the jokes are so different in those.

I leave them in for sandwich effects and for This and That

I tend to leave them in, but remove them right at the start of doing tricks. That way, they don't get in the way (if someone ends up choosing them they always think it's suspicious for some reason) but they are to hand if i need them.

Transpos and sandwiches. They're a nice break from the redundant aces.

If the jokers are the same (usally in custom decks, for example Theory11 decks and Ellusionist decks), I leave them in the deck, but if there is a guarantee joker, (for example one of the Tally Ho jokers which has only text on it, and it is very ugly), I always take them out.
