problem with bicycle cards

[nadeem12]

hi

i got the same bicycle cards that were used in scam school card tricks but after a day I couldn't be able to do the fan move again because the cards started to stick together .

so if you have any solution for that please tell me

You cant. It's natural for the cards to do that and in the episode he said you might end up going through a pack a day. It's natural for the cards to do that but dont get rid of them. If you wana continue fanning you can get a new $3 deck but some more expensive decks will have a little more durability. Keep the old cards for other tricks and doubles cards (incase you need a card in your pocket). Best of luck and dont give up, magic is amazing and it's a fun way to screw with your friends.

the problem is that i live in Jordan and i cant just keep buying cards because it will be expensive with the shipping price like 15 $ per deck .
so can you send me a link for the cards that you recommend ,I'll be grateful .

Shipping usually is a set rate from one location to another plus the fee for weight.
So lets say you're paying $3 for the deck, and $1 for the weight, so the initial fee is $11.
At this price rating if you purchase 5 decks at a time it would be $31.
That brings the $11 down to $2.20 a pack, making the total cost per pack $6.20.
The more decks you buy at a time the cheaper the initial shipping charge becomes per pack.

Hope this information helps you out on your delima, and good luck with magic.

Cheers,
Nathan

NONONONO!!
No way in hell someone is so miss-informed that they go through 1 deck PER DAY just so they can keep fanning!

A deck can stay in fannable condition for weeks / months as long as you treat it right!
meaning:
a) wash your hands before you touch the cards.
b) don't drop it on the floor (carpet is OK).
c) if you do drop, pick the cards up right without dragging them across the floor (the collect dust and dirt when dragged).
d) optional - apply fanning powder. WARNING: could make some magic tricks harder to pull.

I live in israel and can understand the hardships of shipping.
order bricks (pack of 12 decks) of bicycle playing cards from e-bay that way you'll have 12 decks and have to pay for shipping just once, it should last you for a long time (over 2 years not 12 days haha).

GOOD LUCK!
