Bicycle 808 Poker sized cards.
Tally Ho No. 9 cards.
Bee Cards

Well... really all the USPCC cards. Almost every magic store will sell Bicycles and most will sell Tally Ho's. Other USPCC cards are available on other sites such as www.magicbox.uk.com and www.cards4magic.co.uk.

Don't use plastic cards! Especially when doing flourishing because you just won't be able to fan them... Well... you can... but much much much harder!

rather than throwing away that old deck of bikes that have gone way beyond performance quality, save them and use them for practicing cuts, i find it makes it a whole lot easier!
just a tip

depends on your own personal preference and how much you fiddle with your cards really. i personally like to wear in a fresh deck befor performance whereas some people like it straight out of the packet.
it's something you'll have to find out on your own i think. but for me it's around when it's doesn't fan so easily anymore

but if you spend the money and buy some bikes they'll last a lot longer than the cheap ones! so you'll spend less overall if you actually buy decent quality ones

(enter my theory on why rich people are rich because they spend less than poor people! they can afford decent quality things that last longer)
