Has to be Tragic Royalty for me as well, Handle absolutely horribly can't do anything with them
Mystery is the basic appeal of magic. Once the secrets are known, the magician becomes a mere manipulator, an actor in a suspense drama which has little impact because the audience knows the ending in advance.

For me, it would probably be the Mavericks (which I used to have), and the Series 1800's, those don't work at all. Possibly one of the worst E decks out there.

Now are you talking about the old 1800's or the new ones?  They've started making the red decks with the Performance Coating and they're slicker than snot now.  They're still working on the blue ones.  The old ones did handle pretty poorly - I've botched a trick or two because of sticky 1800 cards.

My worst handling deck was technically not USPC - I found a few shops selling forged Bees for a buck a pack.  They weren't even worth that much.

I like my Sentinels, but they curl like a pig's tail.

Alan Paoletti (great magician, flourisher, and deck reviewer) says the original 1800's handle like a deck from the 1800's.

FYI- The 1800 have been fixed and handle great, but only the red ones. I do not think they got around to changing the blue ones yet.Must have something to do with the stock. (I mean amount in the warehouse) Anyway, you will be quite pleased with the red ones.

Here's an experiment for everyone here.  Take your worst, crappiest deck - not something you've beaten to death but a brand new deck that handles crappily.  Give each card a fine dusting with fanning powder (use fine talc if you can't afford it/find it), brush them off then put them unboxed in a card press for a few days (or under a few heavy books if you don't have one).

Tell me how they handle after you've done all that.  I'd be curious to see what improvements if any would be achieved.
