I'm loathe to throw them away, as they are still nice cards but I already have 6 used decks and would like to see them put to good use. Any ideas?

I think this has been talked about before but i either use them for practise, give them away to an OAP home so they can play cards, or even make a little gimmick with them.

I usually keep them, because they're good to have if you need any double cards in a trick or something like that..

Use them to practise things like torn and restored card and mercury card fold and other such things which ruins cards.

Use them?

Make a collage?

Build a dog house.

Build a house of cards for the local tramp to live in.

You make a joke, but its me and the mrs' 2 Year anniversary soon (was on the 9th for people who care) and she took a deck of red bee's (casino back) a Tiger deck (red pips) and a ghost deck (some of which I had used for gimmicks / doubles - but mostly full decks) and made a collage out of them for me :-O

I was amazed (I dont have a piccy of it, cos she is having it framed and mounted, but I can draw a rough piccy of what it looks like...)

will post a pic once its all up on the wall - she is into art and stuff...and for the record, my paint drawn version DOES NOT do it ANY justice, its sooooo much nicer in real life

Wow!

Buy Card Warp, then you will know exactly what to do with your old cards.

ok, I managed to get a proper piccy - its unframed and not finished at this stage (it was taken whilst she was making it, to see how it looked) - there are more red backed bee's around the edge of the finished version

Hope you like it - I certainly do

Thanks for your replies. That collage looks great, she sounds very cool. Congrats on your anniversary.

I throw them round random pubs in Leeds

.... and set fire to them, and attempt to smoke them
