For you to decide what decks to take with you if you're going away for a break.I'm going to stayvwith family for a few days and I know I'll hear, "Show us a trick"  anyway, decks I'm taking are:
Aurum
Ritual Gold
Ghost Svengali
Ghost stripper
Blue Crown Svengali
Moonshine my new favorite!
Blue Crown Luxury
Necronomicon
That funny Devo deck with no faces. Can't remember the name lol!
Obviously they are not all magic decks!
So yeah what decks do you take away with you?

Two decks of Red Rider backs. And normally one of those is just for show.
My mom always said I'd be great at something. Who'd have thought that something would be zombie killin'.

1 Blue Bee diamond back

one riderback with card ready for french kiss, one standard bike deck, and maybe whatever custom deck I am using at the time.
Do you guys even read this? Like I could have the meaning of life here and I doubt you would know it.

Mine selection are:
One Bicycle rider back
One The guardians
One Arcane
One Bicycle Masters Edition

Don't really have those gimmick decks to bring along as I'm not really a fan of gimmick cards.

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

  • Facebook:
As much as I love my custom decks, when performing on a vacation, I only bring decks that I can replace - nothing limited edition.

Anything E keeps reprinting
Bikes, Tallys, Bees
Guardians
Steam Punks
Non-rare Crowns
NOCs
etc.

I'll supplement that with some "special" decks.

Stripper
Invisible
Gambler's
Gaff Cards
WOW
Mirage
Marked

I have a small box that was probably a makeup kit or a portable jewelry box in another life - it has a mirror inside the lid and a handle on the front edge.  It holds 15 decks.  I will generally bring that much, no more, other than the two decks I carry every day, everywhere - one "straight" deck with identical jokers, one stripper.

I usually go by most durable in terms of handling, least valuable (in case of accidents, I don't want my Jnugs covered in juices), and a design I wouldn't mind people seeing and talking about (in other words, I wouldn't bring the latest TECHNO SKULLS DEMON HELL SKULL FUCK SEX DECK ULTROS 2.0 from BBB).

Massa's are go-to in this department. $2 a deck, amazing handling, and beautiful cards everyone always comments on.
