Finally, a practical use for Twilight books.
Hey guys, I want to add on one more tips. You can apply a very light and thin layer of those baby powder on your cards when you can't fan your card that good anymore. It actually helps to remove the oily/greasy substance that may have on your cards. I owned a one year old bicycle rider back and it still perform at its best. I also apply some baby powder on my palm before play to avoid the oil from my hand transferring to my cards. Hope this helps. Cheers

Akshay Nair hope it helps :)
Sounds like a great idea! Bit Is the powder easy to get off your cards afterwards?
Do not use baby powder, use fanning powder. Baby powder absorbs moisture and leaves a sticky residue. Fanning powder creates less friction to the cards and work better than baby powder
+Spinkicker how about boric powder
I live in a country where it's very hard to find bicycle cards so when my family comes to visit I have to ask them to bring me some and they come like once a year so this is very useful thank you so much😃👍
Well i started 1 year ago and all my decks are Training decks. Went through 14 decks like a hot knife through butter. Got a couple of fancy decks like Grimoire or Ignite but i kinda hate those since i need to care for them and such.
And like he said, if your decks are ruined and you cant seem to fan them just leave them in their pack in a cold environment. They`ll get back in shape after 2-3 weeks and last 2-3 days. Do this as many times as you want. I always seem to find a deck that has been sitting untouched for weeks since i never threw away decks.
Ordered 5 more decks yesterday and this time i`ll try washing my hands before using them lol.
The reason why that when u fan cards and end up having gaps in the fan is because the card that is in between the gap is bent differently than the other cards. And when u put the cards back in the box and under weights, you're straightening all the cards. I learned this when I put a very bent card in a deck and fanned it.
Thank you! My cards are good as new
As strange as that might here it works!!!My deck was sticky and with this video it is not anymore! Thanks man appreciate it! :D
Raylman what did u do?

Man... Sucks for me, I live in an extremely humid country :(
Lol, where? I'm in America, and it's not the best here either.

Norway boys! Fucking ice cold up north! :D
7 Year old comment but you could try putting them in the fridge, should be the least humid place in your house
thank you so much man for the help enjoy the video👍
Nice video
Thanks!
share this video around 😃
nice video!!
also what i personally do is that after around 3 months when the deck is absolute dirty and unusable instead of throwing it away, i practice the mercury card fold
thank you so much
The only cards I perform with are Bicycle. I buy a box of 12 at BJ's Wholesale Club for $12-13. Cheap enough.
Cards like the black ones I don't perform with. I have around 250 different decks in my collection and I like to keep them sealed and untouched. Especially if a deck is rare. I don't think it's smart to be performing with a deck like my Gold Artifice or David Blaine Red Gatorbacks for example. I payed a pretty penny for those decks, among others and like to keep them sealed. If I ever sold them down the road, nobody wants to pay top dollar for an abused, worn out used deck, no matter how rare it is.
So you just buy them so you have them there and just seeing them in the shelf?? I have 10 decks in my collection and i'm using 6 of them and i have 2 of them sealed
+Memas 2 3 4 Yes. Their fore my collection. Ask yourself this. If you paid $65 for a deck of rare David Blaine Red Gatorbacks, would you open them and ruin them by using them? I have many decks I paid $20 and up for and in not going to ruin them when I can buy a brick of Bicycle cards at a wholesale club like BJ'S for $12
+Jason Duhamel 65$?? Lol.. That's very expensive men.. Keep them safe😂.. but for the decks that are made and design for usage and handling is stupid do have them sealed..
Thanks
This was great! :D
Now I want a biscuit lol.
Please don't eat me °--°
thank you
Hi, sometimes I found my cards wet, it's look like the finishing layer got melted. Did you have any tips for that?
i just bought my bkcycle cards last week and now its dirty and kinda moisturized or getting soggy pls someone help on what should i do
noah gonzales Time to replace them. If older cards are clumping, u can use fanning powder and/or soap to get them fanning and spreading better, but there's nothing you can do to come back from moisture issues.
If you're practicing for a while at a time, the cards will start to feel warm and moist. That's why it's important to rotate decks out. At the end of the day, these are made from two pieces of paper with a layer of glue in between. The two biggest things you should take from Vinh's tips are clean hands and storage.
ok thanks buddy thanks for the help
Don’t listen to this guy rice works with cards. Rice will absorb the water in the cards. Try it it worked for me
I recently got a card clip and it keeps scratching up the boxes any tips?
Evan Lichens
Get some fine grit sandpaper and sand the inner and outer edges. Also try loosening the clip by lightly prying it open, not too much that you break ir damage the clip, but enough so it's not too tight and hard to get your deck in.
I hope this helps.
this is somthing i did not now about
We're not judging you because of the book don't worry... we're judging you because of the purple shirt!
lol the way he says warp.

+tdbnz dayumm
The music is sooo distracting.
sorry
There were still some useful tips in there though :) perhaps consider reworking the vid :)
I just spent some time putting all cards back into their boxes hehe:P I tend to use several decks to give them time to cool off and switch between them but I leave them out of the boxes because I'm lazy. I just put them on top of the box so they are out of the box all day long.
-edit- They are actually pretty much always out of the box when I'm at home unless I'm transporting them. Bad habit I guess :P
really the bicycle cards r made up of cardboard/card paper 🤔🤔🤔
Abhishek Khond duh r u living under a rock?
They are cards, as in card stock.
