Playing Card Plethora / Re: What's the DUMBEST thing you've ever done with a nice deck of cards.

honestly, i try to be extremely careful with my cards because i dont like wasting money. So really the dumbest thing ive done is not wash my hands before practicing; i only do this when im using a deck i can easily purchase though.

« on: October 04, 2011, 03:14:09 PM »Maybe the new backnotes aren't on Aristocrat stock? I mean, just because they're using the brand name...
i guess that could be true.

i also think the border looks a bit odd. i wish they would have had the art "bleed" out into the border more. Really though, for me, it's the faces of the cards that are the most gorgeous part of the deck. I will probably pick up a few of the v2's so i dont have to touch my red or blue artifice cards anymore

« on: October 04, 2011, 12:01:09 AM »Um alex, i haven't used the aristocrats but it says linen on the box.
Linen and air cushioned are pretty much the same thing from what ive read.
The reason i made this post was because i was breaking in a deck of aristocrats and they were very hard to lepaul spread; as if they were almost to stiff to bend enough to spring for the spread. That experience got me thinking so i opened up a new pack of v6's and they were MUCH easier to lepaul.
Are there different types of aristocrat stock??

The vortex deck will be made of aristocrat stock correct? I just bought a few decks of the aristocrat 727 banknotes and they seem to be a little bit more stiff than other decks with the same stock. (such as the v6's)
is this because of the finish that was used on the decks?
