I tried to find a place that still selling the aladdin 1001 air cushion finish.
But I couldn't find any.

Any one know the right place to go?
I want about 2 bricks of them.

There is plenty in where I stay. No problem getting two bricks. But it's the new Erlanger ones though.

Buy bikes, about the same quality (i think Aladdins are slightly better) and cheaper.

My friend want the deck, not me.
But I like air cushion finish. Smooth finish make me feel like I'm using a made-in-china deck.

I am not a china citizen or what do ever, but u seems to dislike china stuffs alot, the watcher deck handles great and it is made in china..

I don't like all non-uspcc deck, not only china, but I mention china because there are a lot made in china things.

Also, at another thread, I mention about cheap made in china card clip, because I use it. Not because I want to look down on that.

Oh, okay okay, sorry for the misunderstanding.. I think u should try some other company produced deck. In fact I haven try any other company decks but I really want to try the Fournier.. But it is way too expensive

Can I ask about the price there?

junjie04 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 30, 2011, 07:26:53 AM »

I bought it for like 4-5SGD

Siegismyname · « **Reply #14 on:** October 30, 2011, 07:50:34 AM »

yup. should be about there.

Deboziology · « **Reply #15 on:** November 11, 2011, 11:19:41 AM »

I got mine for 3.50 SGD at Bugis. They feel like Bikes but are stiffer and harder to break in IMO. First post btw:D

The1eyedjack.com is your best bet.

Also this should go in the ISO topic.

One-Eyed Jack only has them in the smooth finish. BMPokerworld has them in the gilded edges with smooth finish (the 1002's). I've never seen the air-cushions, personally.

I have a few packs of smooth Aladdins and I love them. They're traditionally cut (which Bikes haven't been for over twenty years) and they're specifically made to withstand high-humidity and heat conditions. It's why there were selling in Singapore in the first place. (Try handling Bikes with sweaty hands on a hot summer day and tell me how they handle!) The smooth finish handles very well and they will actually last a while - it won't collect dirt and grime in the crevices like a textured finish can. It's a good working magician's deck and cardists seem to like them as well.

Bikes are cool, but Aladdins are awesome. Though the jokers are kinda bizarre-looking...

I need to give these decks a shot, I mainly use bikes and Tally-Ho's but i'd love to have a feel of them

Definitely. I got a good deal through the 1-Eyed Jack. Buy in bulk and he gives discounts. He sells Aladdins for $6.99/pack, but if you get a blue/red combo you save $1.99 (only $11.99), and a blue/red brick is discounted by $17.94 (only $54.00)! (All prices in US dollars.) You might get killed on the shipping to get it out of the country, and then there's your home country's customs agents to deal with...

Since you're from Oz, finding someone local who imports from Singapore may be easier - they're sold there a lot like Bicycles are sold here in the States, from what I'm told. Lacking that, consider beautiful Singapore for your next vacation destination...

(Or ask a buddy who's planning to go.)

Seriously, though, they're a sturdy and well-handling deck. Perfect for summertime and sweaty palms!

One more thing I nearly forgot - for the right deal, 1-Eyed Jack is willing to make trades. Look at what he's got listed in inventory but is out of stock on - if you have some, he might be up for trading. I did this when he ran out of red Arcanes. I was sorely tempted to trade for a box of white Centurions, but instead I got a whole mess of other decks. It really helped to fill out my collection.

Sorry, I can only find Aladdins smooth finish. Although, if anywhere, I'd probably recommend eBay to try and get some air cushion ones.

Singapore is well know for aladdian act the smooth finish is better.. at 1st i handle it the 1st time i handle it felt like crap and i bring it out intending to give my friend and on the way i handle the deck for like 1 hours that card still hold up great.. btw bugis is the golden land mark ??
