I don’t understand how people can justify spending so much money on single trick decks. Some cost as much as a full brick of bicycles. I don’t know what conditions people are performing in, but for me, I expect a deck of cards to last exactly 1 performance if the audience touches it in any way. I know I’m exaggerating a bit, but there’s simply too much that can damage cards.
It’s also much easier during a performance to accept that your cards will get damaged than to have to monitor the spectator to make sure they’re being nice and gentle.
Anyone who says skill issue will be perma-banned from magic simp.
