Now where's the fun in that, it's much more enjoyable I find to do it in a small room with all doors and windows closed.

I can then get the little pixies to help me put it all together again.

Haha!! Oh, yes. I can see myself now: "One for me... one for the ace of spades... one for me... one for the jack of hearts... one for me... one for the five-sided club of diamonds"

Whats the best way of breaking in a deck? I have a terrible problem with showing the face down card n my deck. I originally got one from Ebay, so have no idea if it's a bad one or if I jut need to break it in.

I'm tempted to buy another one from Magicbox to compare, but don't want to waste the cash should I just need to break it in.

I would think the best way to break in an ID would be to take each pair and rub them over each other with your fingers and thumb in the same position you naturally spread. I actually prefer the ID I got from MagicBox un-broken in, if that makes any sense. I like how sturdy it is.

I totaly agree, although i have never got any from magic box i have a blue backed deck from E and it is TERRIBLE . It handles like a wet fish. I also have a Black Tiger invisible and this is great but with the normal bkes i have flashes everyware.
