I recently dropped my stripped deck into to the bay. so i need a new one anyone know a good way to make a stripped deck?

Do you mean a stripper deck? If you do a magic shop will have one. If you live in North America a lot of stores such as Walmart stock bicycle stripper decks. They come in boxes of two decks, one a regular deck and one a stripper deck.

I have seen these all over Canada....however they are only bridge size.

Where do you live?

We British only use bridge size cards. Canada is part of the British Empire so naturally all Canadians are expected to do likewise. However Canada is under the delusion that it is part of the United States so they persist in using poker size cards. Terribly silly of them if I may say so.

HOwever I have been led to understand that poker size cards are now being introduced to Her Britannic Majesty's Realm of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Damn silly idea. The only people who are going to use them are young card magicians who think it makes them "cool" to use that dreadful American expression.

Paul Potassy used stripper decks exclusively and only used bridge cards for 66 years. If it is good enough for him it should be good enough for the rest of us.

I started in bridge size and then moved to poker not because it was "Cool" rather it was easier to locate the needed gaffs cards, decks, etc, to match my regular decks. I use cards in the majority of my routines/effects and I like to swap gaffs in and out of my routines....this requires deck sizes to match.

If bridge sized gaffs had been more readily available when I began I would have stuck with them......but victim of circumstance really!

I live in oklahoma, Usa and i know where to buy the cards but I'm gonna be on a boat for a year or so and can't just walk to my local magic shop.
