IDK if you'd want these, because this is my new system. As soon as a deck of cards becomes to "yellowey-gray" I put them in a stack where I keep the old decks and use the cards as duplicates. As soon as a deck gets to small, I simply take my trash can and practice throwing the cards into the trash can

Plus...shipping isnt free. I would if it was free...sorry...

Some fun ideas in there - I usually just throw mine away because they get messy.

a very good idea: use a complete one to learn mnemonica order bij Juan Tamariz: cards are easier to remember if you draw the number on it and decorate it

Use them for Torn and Restored effects..duplicates..Depending on how old they are you could just throw them out...UNLESS you dont get cards often and go through them faster then usual or something.

I guess i'm just asking what I should do with my old decks.

Hey there Cameraboizu,

I had the same problem as you my friend, a trunk full of used cards.

My magic does not pay the bills for me, it's the love of magic that keeps me going. I am simply a volunteer magician at childrens hospitals, V.A. clinics and convolescent homes.

So I would gather up my used decks and hand them out and help teach kids some simple self working tricks, or even supply a home with a new deck of cards. I have seen the crap they use for cards and it's bad...really bad!

A barely used set of Bikes kicks ass compaired to the CVS and Walmart they are forced to use.

So I donate my decks to them. And it feels good to help out those that are in need.

Well, Isn't much you can do with them. I just use my old cards to practice my card shark stuff because I nick a lot. But yeah, just practice your impromptu stuff with them, when people hand you packs of cards at their place then the cards are probably beat. It'll be good if you can handle an old pack as well as a new one to handle the beat packs. =)
