My friend Reuben Kazeem Mabubbi was talking to me about how he so desperately wants "his own" deck... a deck that is used primarily by just a few magicians constantly and others casually... not like Bikes, which every magi on the planet uses, something more obscure that you only rarely see. Reuben's got these bizarre Jack Daniels decks that he wants to be "his" deck. I then set out to find MY deck.

And I've found it... I just ordered a brick of Bicycle: Hannah Montana Edition cards. I am being completely serious. They are pink and purple cards with flowers and pictures of Miley Cyrus everywhere. From now on, this is MY deck.

What is YOUR deck?

That back is asymmetric on those Hannah Montana decks, which makes consistency very difficult to achieve with certain sleights and you know what I mean. I'm sure you've thought of that, but I figured I'd bring it up in case you hadn't. On the other hand, there are some very cool things you can do with asymmetric backed decks.

Which is why I like them Smile

. Asymmetry on cards is fine by me, just as long as the cards don't get mish-mashed around and face all directions. If I have a one-way back design, it really has to be just one way.

You guys are going to have to seriously try out these Jack Daniels cards. They look great and are freaking AMAZING, still great finish after three months of hard work with them!

To hell with both of you-

I used to use, at the magic store, Disney Princess cards. I had a bakers dozen of them and used them for something like 2 months.

Then, I moved onto what I use now.

No way those are "your deck." I'm ordering some right now.

But for my deck, it's a tossup between these two:
