About a week ago I bought a deck of plastic cards to take alittle more abuse while working on some difficult card handling, the hold up really nice, and don't get that bend or curve in them, but doing simple things such as a thumb fan are not so hot, anyone know how to make the cards alittle slicker, or have any suggestions on them, the soul pourpose of them was just to practice with, but some of the moves arent working...

Unfortunately that's the downside of plastic cards.

That's the point of plastics, you have to adapt your sleights to work on them.

I am not even sure it will work with plastic cards, but you might consider trying some fanning powder.

A pressure fan is the only kind of fan that works well with plastic cards. Though bicycle has come out with a plastic card that feels more like paper and fanning is a little easier, still not as good as a decent deck of normal cards though.

I use Royal plastic cards and think they are great. My flourishes don't work as well, but everything else does. DL's, Special deals, every slight in my limited ability. It took some getting used to but since I perform for kids and at tables with food I like being able to wash them off after. I don't always use them, but I love how they handle.

I bought some when they first came out. I tried them for certain packet tricks, using the patter, these cards are clear so you will be able to see everything I do! Works like a charm. "Magician shows them everything!!!" These cards work for some effects not all, but they are fun for spectators because they are clear.
