I agree with tom and BaB, i have just purchased some stuff from cards 4 magic and the service is brilliant. I think that the plastic tuck cases are the best bet as they are inexpensive and do last a while. postage is alright as well. 10% of total value, only thing is.....there is a minimum purchase of £5

Yes there is, funnily enough that's why I ended up with some cardboard boxes in the first place, I needed to fill the order when I got some dollars way back when.
Since then I have purchased a lot of stuff from them, hoel punches, seals, their gaff card assortment, all sorts of stuff, they have never let me down.
:)

ps-their shimmed cards are very good, I just wish I could think of something interesting to do with it...

Blimey, not really m8, if you wanted something it would have stood out to you I guess.
Though their deck of various gaff cards for £7 is very good value, your imagination is your limits with a deck of those and a blue and red deck.

Yes they have various sizes, just measure a coin and buy accordingly :)

Yes that's the pack, you get 6 of each kind in both colours, very handy.

I've got a card guard. They keep the cards lasting for a bit longer although, the cards don't fit exactly snug. Could look for one of those plastic boxes. Not going to, i just wrap my crazy man's handcuffs round the deck and guard...

Never ordered anything from cards4magic, might do though. I want some big jumbo big cards, you know REALLY BIG and maybe some double backs.

Just an after thought, you can buy spare cardboard tuck cases from cards4magic, its £4 for 10, 5 red 5 blue, not bad i dont think

Mixed fakes are cheeper from magicbox, £5 for a deck full and laurence does packs of al blanks, face/face, back/back for £4 50p per pack
