Hello Discourse community!
This is my first post as recently I have become very interested in the art of cards. However, I do not know where to begin as there are very few comparisons for cards but many different products
My budget is <$15 (per deck), so I won't be purchasing any promotional, rare, or uncut decks. I might make multiple purchases (2-3), however. I am ordering from Amazon, so I am only choosing from Ellusionist or Theory11 (I cannot find many other companies on Amazon).
I am looking for a deck of cards that is good for cardistry movements (fanning, shuffling, cuts, springs and dribbles, etc.) but can also execute magic tricks well. I intend for them to at least last 2 years with use about 3-4 times per week, usually more. However, I also want mo be able to handle playing card games with others, and I don't want playing with them wear them down too much. Nicer designs would be appreciated, but not necessary.
Any advice, suggestions, recommendations or places to find more info would be nice. Thanks in advance for any help given!
And just for any opinion, I want to ask what the community's favorite cards are.
