I have a lot of old decks that I don't know what to do with them.
I use some of them in magic. Torn them, throw them. But there are still a lot of them.
What should I do with them?
And another question, how old is the deck you usually use in magic?

I just keep thm in my collection to look pretty
-
They are only the standard back. And I wanna make use of them more than let them sitting around.
I don't have a lot of place to store decks.
-
You could use them as wallpaper?
I dunno; they're yours,, do whatever you like, basically!

Make gaff, TnR, Card throwing and rose making:D
-
Those are the decks that you should do TnR, signed cards, and things like that. Or you can just recycle them... :'(

You mean like all those Monarch's :P
But seriously, use them for throwing or tricks where you need to sign cards.

haha, not to get off topic here, but i can't believe they did that!... ok so back on topic...
-
I would spread them out and frame them. That's what I'm going to do with my 3 destroyed Red Artifice.
-
I use my old decks for magic ( signed card, torn,restored,card stab,gaffs..etc.),also
a mate of mine,used old cards to make a railing for his poker table,he put them at various
places on the rail and put a shalacer (sp?) finish over them,to make them part of the rail design.
-
You could make somthing out of them such as a box.

you mean like what i did? you need a lot of tape

Mismag882 Has a video on his website on how to make a box. Zero tape Required.

Yes, Mismagg822's video is more of what I was referring to. Not to hard pretty simple, and I don't think it requires any tape if I remember right.
-
It doesn't require tape.
-
I just keep them all, I still play around with really old decks. They're always good for something.
-
It's too bad that it isn't a little bit bigger - I reckon it would be awesome to have a box made out of playing cards to store playing cards.
Also, I imagine bicycle-themed origami would look absolutely spectacular.
-
wish i knew of this vid, i made one with tape, it was really cool though.

Um, what was the point to that comment?
-
Ohh my bad I just realized that MrMagic322 said I wish I knew of this video. I thought he meant that he doesn't know where to find it, but now that I think about I think he meant tat he wishes he knew of it before he made what he made with his cards.

If I'm practicing a new flourish or multiple packet cut. I'll use an old deck and tape the cards together into the required number of packets.
-
I also have a friend who made a hat out of old cards
9with tape)

great idea i think im going to try this out.
-
I often play cards with my old decks.
-
Once my deck gets old I gimmick up the entire deck to certain tricks (EG - Gimicking up all the royalty cards for Cannibal)
Then you don't need to ruin a new full deck of cards each time your doing a trick ;)

Me too:D CANNIBAL gimmick, awesome:D

You could do like I did (more details in the "Framed Uncuts" thread) and mount them up in a frame like this:

I really like the idea of taping a deck into packets to use when learning a new flourish. Very nice thinking, gonna do that (maybe take my most-horrible-cards-ever-created Target $1 specials and make a 6 packet deck or something).
-
Once I get "Trilogy" I will definitely be taping up little packets of cards.
-
I've seen how-to videos for making wallets out of old playing cards or out of their boxes. Another interesting idea is laying them out on a table and covering the top with a sheet of glass. Some bars have done similar, but they shellacked the cards to the bar surface.
Using them for magic tricks which involve destroying cards is a good way to go. If the deck is worn but still intact, handing them down to a little kid to play with works fine - they don't care about fanning and glide when playing Go Fish or Crazy 8s.
-
For me i will just keep them .. perhaps make a marked deck or what ever deck you can think of
-
I also really enjoy throwing cards.

Me too, but I don't enjoy picking them up...

That's why I just throw them at a foam board. No need to pick up any.
