Of these 3 decks, I prefer normal bicycle rider back/standard deck. For me, they last longer and feel nicer than the other 2 decks. How bout you?

i just love tally's!

Evan · « **Reply #2 on:** October 05, 2011, 06:55:12 PM »

I really like tallys too but they don't last long at all

The reason I like Rider Back cards is because people are used to them. If I go up to a spectator with a pack of Bikes, they are familiar with them, but If I were to go up to strangers with Artifice cards, or a pack of Smoke and Mirrors, they don't recognize those and my credibility as a magician decreases.

I have a Cincinnati deck that was given to me from me grand parents that they say was from the 90's and it still handles amazing.

(addition)

I just watched your deck collection and you have what i think are one of the first print runs from erlanger, so i know what you mean when you say they don't last long.

I prefer the Tally Hos from those choices but I haven't had mine for very long (regular circle back, T11 titanium and black fan back).

Gunshy1 · « **Reply #6 on:** October 05, 2011, 07:36:17 PM »

for me, it seems like the bics and tallys last about the same length, which isnt all that long.

And cheating. No borders

loldudex2 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 06, 2011, 04:59:04 PM »

For me, I dislike the Bee's without borders.

Evan · « **Reply #12 on:** October 06, 2011, 05:30:56 PM »

Bee without border is great for gambling and cheating. But for magic i don't like them. I LOVE the Bee stingers though. They're amazing/

It is an aristocrat stock. It soft.
Same stock as SM v4/5/6, but I`m not sure about the finish.

Gunshy1 · « **Reply #17 on:** October 07, 2011, 06:14:39 PM »

i know the aristocrat stock is supposed to be a bit softer, but these were abnormally soft. It made flourishes extremely hard because i had to have a ton of cards to make a stable packet.

Evan · « **Reply #18 on:** October 07, 2011, 06:47:25 PM »

I love aristocrat cuz its soft. I don't like TOO soft though

It helps at pressure fan, springing, waterfall, and a lot flourish that you need to bend the card.
If you want a thick stock, I suggest you to try Ellusionist decks

Gunshy1 · « **Reply #20 on:** October 08, 2011, 12:06:56 PM »

I like the middle ground in stock thickness. The vipers are WAY to thick for my liking. i love the aristocrat banknotes.

and don't thicker cards help with springing because they hold there shape more? ya a soft deck would make it easier to spring, but its not like its difficult to bend cards.

Evan · « **Reply #21 on:** October 08, 2011, 06:57:47 PM »

I love soft decks like ones with Aristocrat stock. Its one of my favorites

RF · « **Reply #22 on:** October 08, 2011, 08:58:48 PM »

I like the Tally Ho but my favourites are Rider Backs, because I got more of them as any of the other decks

phantom1412 · « **Reply #23 on:** October 09, 2011, 07:07:06 AM »

Thin stock or thick stock is up to people's favorite.
If you like thin stock -- try aristrocrat stock
If you like thick stock -- try E's deck

It's about preference more than what stock is really better.

loldudex2 · « **Reply #24 on:** October 09, 2011, 08:55:16 AM »

I love soft decks. My first deck ever, got so old, and beat up, I can bend the deck in half, and it will be completely fine, and spring back.

Poll

Which of these decks do you prefer?
