Yes aymen to this thread. I am left handed as well and I know how you feel. Everytime I fan its blank and looks like c*** (not the best) lol. I can fan perfectly but you can never tell because its always blank. I have trained myself to fan upward so the pips show. However it would be nice to have cards for left hand ppl.

Also can someone help me out with this hold bridge deck has 4 pips. Is there a certian brand name to get. I have got Bikes in bridge size, aviator in bridge size, and caravan in bridge size and none of them have 4 pips. Ooooh also I got WPT in bridge and again no 4 pips. I think thats all we have in Canada.

Are you sure that they're in bridge? I always thought that all bridge cards had four indices. Bridge is the smaller one...

If bridge Bikes really only have 2 pips then thanks for warning us! I know Waddingtons (UK cards) have 4 but they will probably be hard to get in Canada.

For those of you in the San Diego area, down at Seaport Village there's a magic shop which backs on to a left handed goods shop so between them, they ought to be able to supply appropriate items!

The Magic Shop - Tel: 619-236-1556 Seaport Village
The Southpaw Shoppe - Tel: 619-239-1731 Seaport Village

I'm also left-handed but this has never really been an issue for me because I've always done magic right-handed - I don't nkow why, it just feels much more natural for some reason. However I do do false counts (eg. elmsley counts) the leftie way.

Sorry this post doesn't really help you much.

I am a leftie to, I find it quite annyoing I think I'm going to try and get use to doing trick in my right hand.

I had a weird problem of being a leftie. I am right handed at just about everything but for some reason when I first started doing magic i just thought holding with the right and dealing with the left was the right handed way. Ever since I have tried to go back to the other way and become ambidextrous or something but I can't.

I have the same problem with fanning cards, it is really annoying.

Are there bicycle cards for left-handed magicians?
