Well the times they are changing and perhaps some casinos have started using the wider size cards because of or for the televised poker comps.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

@Joey:
i also use the Scott's grip for the strike SD, but it seems slightly different from this you are using fro the pushoff. You learned it from ECT? @Cag: I got the advice to start practising with plastics from here, I bought some Aviators and they sprang all over my room in the first 10 mins of practice. It's a good training, I realized how important is to get a feel to handle other brands of cards. I actually feel that some false deal gets better with plastics, because of the grip they make with the finger, but it might be an impression. Since I literally destroyed my cards, what brand are common/good to try? I'll also try some bridge sized plastics, out of curiosity, and hoping they aren't much expensive. |

@JFX and Marcos:
For plastic cards check MAcD's excellent post: Plastic is fantastic (a short view on plastic cards). In my area of the world, Kem Bridge size card for poker are the most common. I use them because players recognize them most readily. Personally I like Copag cards and they are fairly well known to players. For the purchase of a first deck I would suggest Bicycle Prestige (cheapest to buy) or Copags because I personally like them and they are easily available. Kems are more common and durable, but not my first choice. Copags come in both poker and bridge size, but I think Prestige may come in poker size only. With plastics I work mostly with bridge size cards since they are almost universal in the US for poker games. Interestingly, casino poker rooms are moving to , or already have, their own personalized plastic playing cards made with their own logo or identity on the backs. |

"I would suggest Bicycle Prestige "
Right. The only playing cards that you will drop BEFORE handling them, because the box is just notorious piece of failure. |

So I got the pack of copags that I ordered in the mail today. After handling them for about half an hour I made a couple short clips.
Here is one of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qgNQxpi7OI - Riffle stacking - Top stock control I like that they are so thin but still have a good spring to them. However, I was quite surprised about how slippery they are. By the way these are poker size plastics. I thought switching to plastic bridge sized cards is a little overkill ![]() |

So, how do you like them so far?

Copag makes a very nice card in my opinion. Kem cards can sometimes be quite annoying as they tend to buckle but are still used extensively. While I have a few plastic poker sized decks, I work exclusively with bridge sized cards because that is all they use in my part of the world and they have less surface to work with.
Have fun although I think you need more of a challenge. How about rubber cards next? ![]() |

Normally I don’t much like the look of that move but that was beautiful.

Very cool! Loved the wash control! I honestly didn't think it could be done deceptively, and that proves me wrong.
I think I've seen it from Steve Forte, but he doesn't count. Also, did you unlisted all your videos? I hope they're still available |
