So I was thinking that it might look cool to do some card magic with glow in the dark cards. All the ones I have seen so far are plastic, which I have never used, but from what I've read a lot of people don't like them. Anyone have any good experience with these types of cards? I was also wondering if some sort of glow in the dark paint or coating could work with normal cards to give it that same glowing effect.

The closest you can get to having cards glow are the older decks with the UV-500 airflow finish w/ UV lighting. Haven't heard of cards that just glow though

Joe Cossari used to do a card fanning act with fluorescent cards that glowed under black light. I never saw that act, but I did see Joe do his act with more-or-less standard fanning cards and it was pretty spectacular!

According to a comment in this thread on the Café:

there were at least two other magicians who did a card fanning set with black light.
