Hello everyone,
Recently I started looking into smooth finished cards and I wondered, are the ace fultons casino decks red and blue as good as aladdins in the way they handle? Or are there any better handling smooth finish decks?

If you're looking at the Ace Fulton's Casinos, then you're probably looking at D&D (at least a little). I'd recommend their new Steamboat reprints over the Casinos. I think those handle very poorly.

You'd think the AFC red and blue would perform better. Could be the stock's a bit stiff - smooth cards have a tendency to be stiffer.
I'm a fan of the Steamboats. Light, just the right stiffness, and Magic Finish gives them good glide.
If you want something thicker to work with, the black/silver Erdnase Acorn Backs from CARC in Ivory are also coated with Magic Finish. The other Ivory CARC decks are all standard finish, to my knowledge.
