"Bicycle Rider Back. Many colors are available and they come with unique gaff cards. They are perfect for card games, magic, and cardistry."

"So for regular practice, get yourself some bicycles. They're fantastic and consistent."
"No need to fix what's not broken."
"The Bicycle Stargazer decks are really good value decks for cardistry."
"Bicycles are great, but Tally Hos have that same quality with just a little more flair."
"A standard Bicycle deck is like $5"

Tally Ho
4.1
(20)
"I love their designs/colors and they are great for cardistry."
"Tallys,most durable deck i own and great handling and price"
"Buying a brick of Tally-Ho's off ebay. You might pay a little more than $30 but you're getting 12 high quality decks that are always reliable."
"Tally-Ho if you’re more into cardistry than card magic and card games but still want an entry level price and versatility."
"Tally-ho's are great for all the aforementioned and won't break the bank"
"Tally ho"
"Always tally-ho"
"The most affordable thin crush decks are the Elite Edition of Bicycle and Tally-Ho from Penguin Magic."
"For cardistry, I'd actually recommend a Tally Ho Circle Back deck (also in red or blue) instead of a Bicycle Rider Back deck."
"For practice?? Aladdin and Tally-Ho."
#3
Virtuoso
4.3
(7)
"The best cards are of course crushed thin card's. Like Virtuoso's I love the FW17. They are very good and expensive around 20 $/€"
"Virts are great, but if you want something a little cheaper I would suggest Z cards or Rise playing cards."
"I like the Virtuoso Fw17 it has nice front and back fanning."
"For a more expensive option Virts fw17"
"Virts, Orbits and Penguin Magic elite bikes are great crushed decks."
"If you want backs that provide more designs to use in cardistry, that create visually appealing patterns when flourishing, fanning, etc Virts are really good."
"Virtuoso, cardistry touch."
#4
Aladdin's
4.1
(7)
"The old Aladdin's are fantastic."
"Aladdins all the way"
"Wynn's, dots, studs, Tally's, Aladdin's, brush, arrco blue seals"
"Alladins 1001 for me"
"A deck with a stiff stock and smooth finish like Aladdin's is going to handle substantially differently than something like bicycles."
"Aladdins are really good for cuts."
"I would recommend 1001 Aladdins even thought they are not made specifically for cardistry they handle great."
