I absolutely love Boris Wild marked - I have a killer routines with it. But I have a problems with manufactured Boris Wild marked decks. I don't know what card stock they use, it's bicycle, but have rough back. And after a while they become impossible to fan, also they become dirty much faster than regular bicycle. Does anybody have a solution? Maybe fanning powder will help? Or maybe better to do self-made Boris Wild marked deck? With eddo pen or with these sheets with numbers?

The best solution would be to mark them yourself. It'll be much more time consuming, but you will get the same marks much cheaper.

I agree with Brogan_C ... learn to mark your own decks. It doesn't take all that long (it's certainly faster than acquiring a commercial one), and it offers many advantages:
1) It's cheaper. 2) It's more reliable (you can easily make another deck if your prepared one gets lost/damaged/whatever). 3) You can use marking schemes that are more visible from a distance (or with poor eyesight). 4) You can use more deceptive marking schemes (I have seen talented card people get busted with these "just write the name on the back" systems).

I should read his book sometime.
Magic is not the suspension of reality, but the expansion of possibility, inviting us to question the limits of what we believe to be true.
