Cheap Playing Cards
Hey everyone, I've got a question, hoping someone can help me out.
For effects where a spectator has to sign a card, I'm currently using 1-Euro decks from the dollar store. The problem is, they're super low quality and make it really tough to pull off some sleights. Does anyone know any brands of cheap decks that are actually decent?

Hey everyone, I'm sure you already know this, but I'll mention it anyway (just in case someone reading doesn't know).
When you "have the spectator sign" their chosen card (to save on cards), you should use forces and never, save for a few exceptions, let the chosen card be a completely random selection.
Ideally, you should have a deck that's already been used, but not so worn that it stands out from a freshly opened deck. Use this deck to pull cards for your forces (those are the ones the spectators will sign).
This way, you'll always keep your main performing deck pristine, and at the same time, you'll have a dedicated "force" deck.
And as for quality and affordability, as @elayudante mentioned, Standard (or Second) decks are the best option.
For 2 euros more, you get the Standard decks:
