Picking the Right Deck

Many people who are unaware of the cardistry world and the beautiful decks available, will tend to buy random decks from CVS or the airport, in hopes of it being quality cards. However, these Bicycle cards are the not subpar to the standard cardistry decks. Granted Bicycle cards are some of the most common cards that are seen around the world, no one can forget those intricate red and blue decks; however, they quality of the cards on not that great for use in performing more advanced tricks and flourishes. If one chooses to use a Bicycle deck, they might want to stick with poker and building those painful card towers. The pug is here to notify you card fanatics or random people about the nicer things in the world. For example, the decks above are some cardistry decks that are great for tricks and flourishes.

Dan and Dave are twins that created the prestigious Dan and Dave decks. These decks are of the highest quality and can do almost anything in the world of cards. They came from a background of flourishes which paved their path of in the cardistry world by promising this world the upmost quality and accessible playing cards.

Cards with borders or without borders can play a big difference on table magic. These cards must be chosen carefully because the wrong deck can lead the player or magician to their own demise. 

Cards without boarders is good for table magic and cheats because they can easily trick the eye and blend in with each other. These cards are detailed, colorful, and sometimes the pain to the eye are the perfect deck for cheating. People who are fond of second dealing and double lifts should acquire these cards because it provides this trickster with the illusion of blending. On Pug Table, cards without borders helps me win some money off of my house mates while playing Texas Hold'em and Blackjack; however, this is not recommended for those morally straight people. 

While cards with boarders tend flash easily during tricks; however, professional magicians can do mind boggling tricks with these cards without the audience noticing. For people, who strictly do flourishes, cards with boarders can emphasize aesthetics of cutting cards and the art itself.
