I have a lot of old decks that I don't know what to do with them.
I use some of them in magic. Torn them, throw them. But there are still a lot of them.
What should I do with them?

And another question, how old is the deck you usually use in magic?

They are only the standard back. And I wanna make use of them more than let them sitting around.
I don't have a lot of place to store decks.

You could use them as wallpaper?

I dunno; they're yours,, do whatever you like, basically!

Those are the decks that you should do TnR, signed cards, and things like that. Or you can just recycle them... :'(

You mean like all those Monarch's

But seriously, use them for throwing or tricks where you need to sign cards.

I would spread them out and frame them. That's what I'm going to do with my 3 destroyed Red Artifice.

I use my old decks for magic ( signed card, torn,restored,card stab,gaffs..etc.),also
a mate of mine,used old cards to make a railing for his poker table,he put them at various
places on the rail and put a shalacer (sp?) finish over them,to make them part of the rail design.

Mismag882 Has a video on his website on how to make a box. Zero tape Required.

Yes, Mismagg822's video is more of what I was referring to. Not to hard pretty simple, and I don't think it requires any tape if I remember right.

loldudex2 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 05, 2011, 05:17:06 PM »

It doesn't require tape.

VortexHead · « **Reply #15 on:** November 05, 2011, 05:31:55 PM »

I just keep them all, I still play around with really old decks. They're always good for something.

It's too bad that it isn't a little bit bigger - I reckon it would be awesome to have a box made out of playing cards to store playing cards.

Also, I imagine bicycle-themed origami would look absolutely spectacular.

wish i knew of this vid, i made one with tape, it was really cool though.

Um, what was the point to that comment?

Ohh my bad I just realized that MrMagic322 said I wish I knew of this video. I thought he meant that he doesn't know where to find it, but now that I think about I think he meant tat he wishes he knew of it before he made what he made with his cards.

If I'm practicing a new flourish or multiple packet cut. I'll use an old deck and tape the cards together into the required number of packets.

JMMJ · « **Reply #22 on:** November 06, 2011, 10:53:25 PM »

I also have a friend who made a hat out of old cards
9with tape)
