Yes, tallys dont hold bends or crimps like bikes do. The lionoid finish adds an extra coat onto the cards to keep them from getting sticky. It also holds the quality so you get awesome fans. Tallys dont spring as good as bikes tho ... because of the finish ... Air cushion is like a pocket of air, it absorbs the bounce making the cards very 'springy'

Just play around with them for a while and you'll be able to see it :)

Mystery is the basic appeal of magic. Once the secrets are known, the magician becomes a mere manipulator, an actor in a suspense drama which has little impact because the audience knows the ending in advance.

I'm just guessing here, but I think "linoid" is more like the linen finish some high-end decks get (like Aristocrats).  I love the overall performance of Tally-Ho over Bicycle because of the stock, the finish AND the cut.  They shuffle better by far and faro with greater ease face-down.  Bikes are OK, sure, but I like Bikes while I love Tallys.
